“It’s highly recommended that you consult with Dr. Litwin prior to using ProLon.”
The ProLon® 5 Day Fasting Mimicking Diet is a powerful method for achieving long term, meaningful weight loss. It also provides many other incredible health benefits.
At KLMD Wellness, we take a science-based, comprehensive approach to helping you to feel healthier, look healthier and be healthier. One of the ways we help our patients is by recommending safe, effective and easy detox and weight loss programs. We don’t use risky medications that have only temporary benefits. We believe in using cutting edge, safe, well-researched methods to achieving weight loss with long term benefits.
Fasting for several days is an extremely effective way to improve metabolism and lose weight, but it’s unrealistic for most people. ProLon® makes fasting something that almost anyone can do.
One of the most important tools for changing metabolism and losing weight is fasting. However, fasting can be both difficult and has some negative side effects, such as loss of muscle. This is why we are so excited to be able to offer our patients a safer, easier way to do a fast, using the ProLon® 5 Day Fasting Mimicking Diet. This program has been shown to provide exceptional health benefits to those trying to maintain their body weight as well as those trying to look slimmer and healthier.
What is the ProLon® Fasting Mimicking Diet?
ProLon® is a specific dietary program that provides the body with healthy, plant-based, good-tasting foods (soups, olives, teas and nut bars) that have been scientifically selected to supply the body with a specific number of calories per day in a specific ratio of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The total calories and ratio of macronutrients is such that it minimizes the unpleasant side effects from fasting such as fatigue, severe hunger and irritability.
ProLon® tricks your body into thinking it is fasting and prevents muscle loss usually seen with water-only fasts
At the same time, unlike a water-only or similar type of fast, it prevents the loss of muscle that normally occurs with water-only fasts. ProLon® therefore tricks the body into thinking it is fasting while still allowing for food. By doing this, it is possible to continue going to work and doing most of your usual activities (other than a limitation on exercise) during the 5 days, which would be very difficult with a water-only fast.
ProLon® induces a fasting state which leads to ketosis, autophagy, cellular repair and stem cell production
Scientifically speaking, ProLon® achieves its amazing benefits through several biological processes that occur as a result of fasting. These include ketosis, autophagy, cellular repair, and the production of stem cells. Ketosis is a metabolic state where the body uses fat to make energy instead of carbohydrates. During ketosis, there is weight loss due to fat burning. During fasting and ketosis, another crucial state occurs called autophagy.
Autophagy
During autophagy, certain genes responsible for cellular clean up and repair are turned on. As a result, damaged or poorly functioning cells are removed by the immune system.
Stem Cell production and Rejuvenation Effects
Stem-cell based regeneration is another incredible benefit of fasting and ProLon®. Stem cells are progenitor cells that can develop into new cells in multiple areas of the body including the brain, skin, and immune system. As a result of fasting, increased stem cells are produced at the same time old, damaged cells are removed, thus creating a state of rejuvenation all over the body for up to 5 days after finishing the fasting period.
ProLon® Health Benefits
ProLon® has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits.
Watch Dr. Longo, the creator of ProLon explain the benefits of a fasting-mimicking diet:
Dr. Valter Longo, the creator of ProLon, explains the benefits of a fasting-mimicking diet here and here (with Dr. Mark Hyman)
Studies have shown that you can expect to see:
- Decreased body fat: both subcutaneously (where you can see it) and viscerally (the type of fat inside your abdomen that is associated with chronic health issues like diabetes). Expect to lose fat quite noticeably in key areas, such as the face, abdomen, flanks, thighs, “love handles” and under the chin.
- Weight loss: reduction in weight will continue to occur gradually even after you have finished a ProLon cycle.
- Improved glucose and insulin levels: reduced risk for diabetes and heart disease
- Reduced inflammation as measured by C-Reactive Protein
- Improved blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
- Reduced IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) which is associated with reduced risk of cancer and diabetes
- Reduced biological age (as measured by telomere length).
“It’s more exciting and motivating when you see key health markers such as glucose, insulin, IGF-1, blood pressure, high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, weight, waist circumference, and cholesterol improve as a result of ProLon and all your effort. “
Benefits of Combining ProLon® with SculpSure™ and TempSure™
In Dr. Litwin’s experience, he has also seen a noticeable improvement in skin appearance with ProLon®: his patients have reported having younger-looking, “glowing” skin. Combining ProLon® with TempSure, which helps to rejuvenate skin through enhanced collagen production, is a great way to get even better results for your skin.
When used in conjunction with our SculpSure fat reduction treatment, ProLon® may accelerate the body’s natural ability to remove the treated fat cells through the process of autophagy. This may result in even better, faster results of the SculpSure treatment and a leaner, healthier appearance than if the SculpSure was used alone.
Please inquire about our Comprehensive Wellness Medicine and Streamlined Wellness Medicine Packages if you’re interested in combining the ProLon® 5 Day Fasting Mimicking Diet with our other treatment options.
