That fasting is not a diet.
It's not a fad.
It's a healing tool.
So when you pick that length fast, when you're like, what length fast should I do?
You need to ask yourself the next question, what am I trying to accomplish?
So when we look at the fast mimicking diet, which is what Prolon is, Walter Longo, who was the one that discovered the three-day water fast would reboot the whole immune system, he was like, I don't think people will go off food for three days.
So what's the most minimal amount of food I can give somebody to get a similar experience?
And what he discovered was the fast mimicking diet.
And it was keep a person under 800 calories, keep their carbohydrate down.
And he didn't, I haven't been able to figure out his, I tried to reverse engineer Prolon for many years.
You really?
It's just- Yeah, it works.
And I've been on Prolon a couple of times.
I watch my ketones go up.
The study he did on the fast mimicking diet is profound.
He found if you put people on the fast mimicking diet five days a month for three months, that he started to see type one diabetics.
He started to see their pancreas, actually those cells that weren't working to produce insulin, they started regrowing.
Wow.
So an injured pancreas started to heal itself on the fast mimicking diet.
Walter and his team get all the credit for that.
