I've been listening to Valter Longo (creator). He doesn't promote this as a weight loss diet, although it does that too. He claims it is designed to affect healthiness and increase longevity. If followed, as a periodic, fasting-mimicking-diet FMD, the diet puts you in the fasting state. This allows the body to fix itself. It's also designed to help you feel sated, thus helping you complete it successfully. Weight loss is a byproduct. I'm on day five and feel both better and different. Hope this helps.

@LaraFabans 3 года назад

Thanks for the great review. I didn't realize we were supposed to sip the L drink! Whoops. The FB group also has helped me a lot. Other tips were to use more water than the soup calls for so you can feel fuller longer and to split the kale crackers up for two meals...most people did 2 at lunch and 3 at dinner. Also, apparently you can have a small Persian cucumber if you get really hungry. And someone else said that the staff said you can have a stalk of celery and some apple slices if you feel weak. I'm finishing up day 4. I'm glad I did it because I needed a reset...I have insulin resistance...and will switch to 5/2 moving forward. So far, down 4.2 pounds and I confess, I cheated a bit. I had a lot more cucumber with my meals and some Benefiber in my decaff coffee. (like you, been decaff for a long while). Cheers!

@sumitagg1 2 года назад

@@FunAtico100 not really. I thought it was working because my weight was fine. But in September I found out my blood sugars had gone from 120 to 180. I then started 36 hour water fasts twice a week. In 2 months, my sugars became normal back to 110, I lost 10% weight, lost 2” on my waist. So FMD is great to get you started but it’s useless to reverse diabetes or restore your long term health

@vijayamaclean746 6 месяцев назад

I just finished Day 2 of Prolom. I felt quite energetic throughout both days. I did Intermittent fast for a couple of weeks before starting with an eating window of between noon and 7 pm and continued the same window for during the first 2 days of Prolong and will continue through day 5, which is probably why I didn’t feel hungry until noon. The intermittent fasting allows for larger Prlon meals for the rest of the day. I ate1/3 of my food ar noon, 3 pm and 7 pm and didn’t suffer energy wise either day. I look forward to day 3 tomorrow 😮.

Great review. I am on day 3 currently and I feel much the same way. Definitely not as hungry as I was expecting to be. I agree all the food tastes great, there just isn't much of it, especially on day 3. I was worried about how it would taste and was very pleasantly surprised. The daily coaching Zoom calls with ProLon and other participants has been tremendously helpful. Getting the tips has definitely made things easier, like today when I ate one cracker for a snack after my L-Bar, then another with my lunch soup, another for an afternoon snack and two with my dinner soup, which I also have about an hour before bed so I don't wake up hungry. Switching which soup you have for lunch and dinner is acceptable too. You can switch things around as long as it is in the same day. No switching different day foods.

The nut bar had to much sugar and on the 3rd day for breakfast put me into diabetic shock, I substitute it for 1 whole egg and the yoke of another for breakfast. I would do it again with my modifications. I lost 6lbs. It's a great way to jump back into a better eating habits that I fell out of. My stomach shank so I get full very fast now.

Great review and one of few people to be so positive about this plan. People have complained that it's powder food but at the end of the day they are trying to get this into hospitals to assist people who have chronic illness. Those people may have never heard of fasting and may struggle with the thought of it. Putting food in an easy to follow package form that's non gmo is a great way for them to start the healing process.

Patients in hospitals may also be on a liquid diet for reasons of illness. Like being tube fed. So, I am unsure whether I should be impressed that hospitals like it.

@AI-vs7sm 3 месяца назад

Seriously, people? This is Dr. Roy Taylor's low calorie protocol. But its only five days instead of 8-12 weeks,but same idea. Ironically, this is a keto , or low carb diet. You could also try carnivore ,but, keto is easier to start out with. Hunger will go away after 3-4 days, then intermittent fasting , which is what prolon is imitating, becomes much easier. And guess what? It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, just some discipline! The key is that less eating shuts down the hunger signals, carbs are what multiply hunger signals, that 2 hours and I am hungry again feeling!

Both fasting and Keto work through lowering insulin through reductions of carbs, producing ketone bodies that the body pulls from fat stores as a result. The worst part about this diet is that FASTING IS FREE, and keto can be CHEAP. They’re taking something that is beneficial and using it’s branding to sell junk that will make people fat and hungry after trying to live off of soup and granola bars. Stop eating, your body is made to survive. Add some salt so you don’t get the keto flu, eat some healthy fats and protein, and save your goddamn money and health people.
