The ProLon fasting program is a scientifically formulated 5-day dietary plan designed to nourish your body while promoting cellular regeneration and metabolic health. AtFoundationMED in Raleigh, NC, we offer the ProLon fast as a safe, effective way to experience the benefits of fasting without the risks of prolonged water-only fasting.

What Is the ProLon Fast?

The ProLon fasting mimicking diet (FMD) is a structured meal program that provides essential nutrients while triggering the body’s natural cellular repair and metabolic reset.Unlike traditional fasting, ProLon allows you to eat specially designed plant-based meals while still achieving fasting benefits.

Each 5-day ProLon kit includes:

  • Plant-based energy bars
  • Soups and nutrient-dense snack
  • Specially formulated drinks and supplements
  • A step-by-step meal plan to guide your fast

With caloric intake between 770 and 1100 calories per day, ProLon supports fat loss, cellular autophagy, and metabolic rejuvenation without requiring drastic lifestyle changes.

Benefits of the ProLon Fast

ProLon is backed by 15 years of clinical research and has been studied at the University of Southern California’s Longevity Institute. Studies have shown that the fasting mimicking diet offers multiple health benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Cellular Repair – Triggers autophagy, removing damaged cells and regenerating new ones.
  • Metabolic Health Support – Helps regulate cholesterol, blood sugar, and inflammation markers.
  • Healthy Aging – Reduces oxidative stress and promotes long-term wellness.
  • Weight Loss and Fat Reduction – Encourages the body to use stored fat for energy

ProLon vs. Traditional Fasting

Traditional fasting methods, such as water-only fasts, can lead to nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and muscle loss. The ProLon fast offers a safer, more nutrient-supported alternative by providing essential vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients while still promoting fasting benefits.

ProLon Fast vs. Fad Diets

Many commercial diets promise quick weight loss but lack scientific backing. ProLon is clinically tested and developed by leading researchers in fasting and metabolic health. Unlike restrictive diet trends, ProLon supports cellular health, metabolism, and long-term weight management without harmful side effects.

Is ProLon Right for You?

ProLon is designed for individuals looking to improve overall metabolic health, weight loss, and cellular rejuvenation. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting the program, a FoundationMED physician will evaluate your health status to ensure that ProLonis the right fit for your goals.

At FoundationMED, we provide our patients with discounted ProLon kits and expert medical guidance to optimize the fasting experience.
