ProLon is a 5 days only nutrition program that was designed and tested by 14 global universities to nourish you with premium quality plant based food, while inducing the cellular, metabolic, and emotional benefits of prolonged fasting.
It is a scientific breakthrough that took 2 decades, $48MM in research. and awarded 40+ patents — including the only patent in history on a nutrition program to enhance longevity and healthspan.
Prolonged fasting (>2-3 days) has unique benefits such as autophagy or cellular rejuvenation which was awarded the 2016 Nobel prize in Medicine.
Indeed, the first 2-3 days of fasting, the body burns fat to compensate this first stage of calorie deficit but thereafter fasting becomes a positive stress on each of your body’s cells which then goes through rejuvenation and autophagy, a key miracle of our human biology that is critical healthy aging and longevity.
You are as healthy (body, mind, and soul) and vibrant as your cells are. Add ProLon to your everyday lifestyle and rejuvenate your cells.

How does ProLon work?
ProLon provides the body with healthy, plant-based ingredients that have been scientifically demonstrated to proved the body with optimal nourishment while not activating the key pro-aging pathways, or food sensing pathways — pathways which are activated by normal diets.
This allows the body over the course of 5-days to transform into a fasting state and stay there, even though you are consuming food. You receive the benefits of a prolonged (>72 hour) water fast without the danger and exhaustion from a water only fast.
This nutritional breakthrough was scientifically developed, clinically tested at the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California, led by Dr. Valter Longo. It has now been tested by over 16 major publications & Universities and has over 40 patents across the world.
Get the benefits of fasting without getting exhausted...
Get the benefits of fasting without getting exhausted and burning off all the muscle. I resumed heavy weight lifting right after the fast. This really is a breakthrough.
I can’t recommend ProLon enough...
I discovered ProLon last January and I have been doing it consistently ever since then. It is a really great reset for your body, especially after holidays. It has so many different benefits, it curbs sugar cravings and helps me manage portion control.
I'm 50 years old with 2 small children...
I started ProLon and I'm telling you, it worked! I lost 6 pounds, I have no brain fog, I absolutely do not crave sugar right now which is insane and I actually feel amazing, I'm full of energy! I am so proud of myself, my husband did it with me, he lost 5 pounds, says he has never felt better.

★★★★★This is my third time trying the fast mimicking diet, and I have learned to go back to it whenever I need a reset. I tend to do great at watching what I eat for a period of time, but then start slipping back into old habits over time. At that point, I find that if I do the fast mimicking diet again, it really does reset my thinking about how much I need to eat.

FAQs
The amazing part about ProLon is it can easily fit into your lifestylle and is only a 5 day change to your normal life.
Suggested consumption by Dr. Valter Longo, head of the Longevity Institute at University of Southern California and Author of the Longevity Diet.
• If you have a health or metabolic objective in mind and want to achieve faster the metabolic and rejuvenative successes of ProLon, then you can do ProLon every month for 3 or 4 months and then do it once every 3 months to maintain the benefits.
• 2 times only per year for Healthy Aging (10 days out of 365 days!)
• 3 times per year for Healthy Aging and added Weight Loss (15 days out of 365 days!)
Some people do ProLon once a month for reasons that are in line with therapeutic effects of fasting that we are also researching and will launch under a dietitian guided program in 2023.
The diet should be used for five consecutive days, after which the individual will transition on the 6th day and then resume their normal diet. The program provides a meal card that recommends how to consume the items for each day, but each day’s items can be consumed in any order you wish, as long as you only eat each day’s items during that day (do not carry them over to the next).
While there are many different signaling factors in the “nutrient-sensing pathways” involved with cellular fasting, the 3 primary nutrient-sensing pathways that ProLon and fasting down-regulate are IGF-1, mTOR, and PKA. The process is complex, and each pathway can interact with other pathways, but in general, PKA responds primarily to sugar and carbohydrates, while IGF-1 is primarily responsive to protein (and more strongly triggered by animal protein), and mTOR is triggered by IGF-1 and amino acids. Sugar and carbohydrates (and to some extent caffeine) will activate PKA. These nutrient-sensing pathways all help regulate the cells’ growth cycles and stress-resistant “fasting” state.
ProLon provides the body with a scientifically developed, naturally occurring combination of macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates, proteins) and micronutrients (essential vitamins and minerals) designed to keep the body nourished while going through the rejuvenating process of the fasting state.
WHAT HAPPENS ON DAYS 1 TO 5 ON MY PROLON FAST?
Day 1: Transforming to a Fasting State: Your body is transitioning to a fasting state and fat- burning mode, and begins preparation for cellular clean-up.
Day 2: Fat Burning & Ketogenesis: Fast Burning & Ketogenesis: Fast-Burning ramps up, contributing to the initiation of ketogenesis (ketone production). By the end of this day (48 hours), ketosis may occur.
Day 3: Autophagy Clean Up State: Cellular clean-up (autophagy) Fat-burning and ketone production/utilization continues and increases.
Day 4: Cellular Rejuvenation:Cellular cleaning/renewal & fat-burning You’re in the final stretch.
Day 5: Renewal & Change: Fast completed, cellular renewal continues beyond Day 5.
While the purpose of the ProLon diet is to trigger rejuvenation, weight loss may occur. Everyone is different, and weight loss depends on a number of factors. In a clinical study of participants who completed a 5-day ProLon cycle once a month for three months, the average weight loss at the end of the study was about 5.7 pounds. This was primarily abdominal fat, while lean body mass was preserved.
Day 1 has about 1100 calories (kcals), while Days 2-5 have between 700 and 800 calories (kcals) per day.
