Our bodies go through a process known as autophagy when we fast or restrict our calorie intake. It’s a method of removing and cleaning up damaged intracellular components. According to studies, this rejuvenation can help to slow down the aging process. Fasting can promote cellular regeneration and the expression of genes linked to longevity, according to research from Valter Longo, Ph.D., and the University of Southern California’s Longevity Institute. Animal and cell studies have shown that fasting can promote cellular regeneration and the expression of genes linked to longevity.

ProLon meal kits are meant to replicate the effects of fasting while also supplying essential macro and micronutrients. You’ll receive a package of five boxes, one for each day, with all of the food you’ll need – almond butter bars, plant-based soups, herbal teas, kale crackers, supplements, olives, chocolate crisp bars, and a specially formulated drink. Simple meals are included in the Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet box. It has a low protein and carbohydrate content and moderate fat content. Retailing for $250, this Fasting Mimicking Meal Program is well worth the price!

The first day contains roughly 1100 calories, with the next days containing between 660 and 800 calories. Meals vary day by day, which includes:

◈ L-Bar: This chewy bar is delicious and is reminiscent of a Larabar.
◈ Soups: There are three different soups (vegetable + quinoa minestrone, tomato, and minestrone).
◈ Herbal Tea: There are three different teas (hibiscus, mint, and mint + lemon).
◈ Choco Crisp Bar
◈ Sesame Kale Crackers These were one of my favorites!

My goal with ProLon’s Fasting Mimicking Meal Program wasn’t to lose weight, but to give my body a reset. However, I did shed nearly 8 lbs. while following this 5-day meal plan. In addition, I felt a boost of productivity and energy. I also felt less bloated. It seems like I get bloated easily no matter what I eat, so this benefit was quite refreshing!

Could I have had the same effect by restricting my calorie intake on my own? I believe I could, albeit it would be more difficult. With ProLon, I don’t have to plan my meals or calculate my food intake. This program takes out of the guesswork with a daily meal plan and pre-made food.
