"I tried the ProLon FMD® on the encouragement of a friend who was familiar with the company. I had been routinely using intermittent fasting (IF) for weight loss, but wasn’t haven’t much luck shedding a few stubborn pounds. As a scientist, I was curious why a Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) was different than IF, and I read the clinical studies on the ProLon website. I was encouraged to read that a FMD can not only help a person lose weight but more significantly, promote cellular clean-up for rejuvenation from within. I just finished participating in my first ProLon FMD, and I found it much easier to stick with a 5-day fast than I anticipated. The food was really tasty and filling, and the FMD kit came with clear instructions on how to properly eat it. I had plenty of energy during the FMD, and never felt an urge to veer from the fast and eat extra food. At the end of five days, I lost those stubborn three pounds! I plan on continuing to use the FMD for the next few months." JOAN B.
