What is the Prolon Meal Program?
[Promoting Health and Longevity]
ProLon is a scientifically proven and studied 5-day meal program which mimics fasting.
Researchers at the Longevity Institute of Southern California have been studying the effects of intermittent fasting for two decades through grants funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
A recently completed randomized trial involved consumption of a low calorie, low protein, low carbohydrate, high nourishment meal program. The actual fasting – mimicking diet [FMD™] program was only 5 days. Each participant underwent 3-cycles (one per month) with final measurements carried out one week after the last cycle and return to the subject’s normal diet.
The meal plan is plant-based and formulated in a way to induce your body to self-repair.
Benefits included:
- Lower body weight
- Lowered abdominal fat [visceral fat]
- Smaller waist circumference
- Higher lean body mass
- Improved energy levels
- Softer, healthier-looking skin
- Lower systolic BP
- Lower diastolic BP
- Improvements in total cholesterol, LDL, c-reactive protein [lower inflammation] and glucose
- Improvement in stem cell counts
- Healthy levels of insulin like growth factor
What does ProLon do?
This 5-day meal plan enables the body to enter a state that is protective and resistant to stress.
This then allows the body to remove damaged cells thus stimulating a mechanism that enables cells to regenerate (grow), resulting in tissue rejuvenation. In short, this process can delay the aging process and increase longevity.
What Can You Expect?
- Improvements in energy levels
- Healthier looking skin
- Positive impact on lifestyle
- Feelings of empowerment to make healthier choices and eat less
Who is it for?
Anyone who has any of the factors that need to be improved – excess body weight, abdominal fat, elevated glucose, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, and elevated blood pressure.
Anyone who wishes to maintain healthy levels of stem cells and insulin-like growth factor.
How does the Program work?
- For wellness and longevity – one cycle per month for three months. Cycles may be repeated every 2-4 months (3-6 times per year) or a minimum of 2 cycles annually.
- For weight loss – one cycle per month (minimum time between cycles is 15 days) until weight loss goals are achieved [for a maximum of 12 cycles] and then 2-3 cycles per year for health maintenance and longevity.
