ProLon

I've just finished my five-day ProLon Dietary plan.

Pros:

- Feeling lighter (lost 2 pounds).

- Food tasted much better than expected.

- No constipation (which I would've expected on such a low cal diet).

Cons:

- Lost of energy.

- Felt hungry.

- Fatigue during the day.

- Expensive.

- Not feeling a huge difference.

- Felt dizzy during the day (not in the morning though!).

If it would've been cheaper, I probably would like to try it again in three weeks to see if I would feel differently, but it's way too expensive for what it is!

Best!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I just finished and it didn't really live up to my expectations. I look thinner and lost a couple of pounds, but of course, that's going to happen when you restrict calories and don't eat sugar for five days. The food was OK...bars are bars, dinner soups were decent, lunch soups eh.

On days 4 and 5 ProLon says most people feel less hungry, an energy surge and increase and mental clarity...I did not experience this, and in fact felt extra hungry and tired on day 5 and could not focus on anything!

On top of that, customer service told me originally that I could get a replacement for the tomato soup if I wrote it in the order notes (which I did). The box came with three tomato soup packages. I emailed customer service and they said they would overnight them. However, that was three days ago and they're still not here.

I didn't get blood work or anything to measure results other than how I look and feel, and this is also being written right after completing the diet, so I don't have an opinion on any lasting effects yet. But after looking more into the allowed substitutions and calorie and nutrient breakdowns, I think you could recreate this yourself without wasting the money and have better food.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I routinely recommend various forms of fasting to my patients for the many health benefits. I manage patients with high risk for heart disease and diabetes. The concept is right, the price and product are extremely overpriced. I cannot honorably recommend my patients spend this money. I would rather they spend it on advanced lab tests to better understand their disease process. If this was priced <$100 it may be worth trying for patients but even then would be expensive for what you are getting, at almost $300 I will never recommend it. I will also never spend the money again myself. My husband and I and a few patients tried it and results were unimpressive. I did labs before and after and no significant changes in any of us that would justify the cost. They do a good job marketing and it is good they are educating on the benefits of fasting.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sustainable and easy to do, but no health benefits noticed. Felt lighter on day 4-5, slept well, but did not experience an increase in energy or mental sharpness.

Pros: Saves you time to count calories and makes life easier for 5 days.

Cons: Not sure if there are any health benefits, any other fasting or simply 5 days of veggies and gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free will do it.

You are eating processed foods like bars and artificial powder soups, instead of having fresh and raw crunchy veggies.

Would not repeat.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I really like the approach (I'm on day 4) but there are things I don't like about the program.

First, I am a large guy with a physical job and this is a one-size-fits-all program. My girlfriend (also on the diet) weighs 80 pounds less and has the same meal plan. I was literally out in the heat with a chainsaw while she worked in an office.

Secondly, the bars provided seem too sweet to my tastes. I generally don't eat such things. The challenges of being hungry might be easier with meals comprised of real food.

Lastly, the price is ridiculous. I wish he just put out a second book (in addition to the Longevity Diet) for the FMD with real food options. I will put together my own program next time.

I'm a 71-year-old female who completed R1. D2 was hardest for me due to headaches and the beginning of bowel discomfort. D3 felt great, good sleep, but over the course of 5D, diarrhea worsened.

Results: lost 2.5 lbs, "reset" my awareness of eating habits to motivate better nutrition; however, doubt I'd retry due to the bowel hassle. Don't see how that can be good for the body. Is that a cleanse?

Some of the food is tasty, e.g. tomato soup. Some of the other soups were NOT (for my taste buds). Appreciated the "reset" the most, although pricey.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have completed my ProLon cycle yesterday, and it ended very well. I was already fit enough but lost 2 kgs while maintaining my lifestyle and keeping my lean mass. I will repeat it again after three months also to encourage companies to invest in anti-aging, however, I think it would be impossible to achieve the same results without the strict guidance and psychological commitment of the food in the 5 boxes.

It is 5:00 on Wednesday afternoon. My brother gave me a box of Prolon on Sunday afternoon and didn't say anything. He just told me to do it. I was 255 and even though knew a lot about losing weight from wrestling in college, just didn't seem to be able to lose weight anymore. On top of that, at 255 I was getting all of the pre-diabetes issues and injuries that you get from being overweight.

Along comes Prolon. I am halfway through and have had no cravings and have lost 8 pounds. I cannot wait to see where this ends up because I feel like I have already won.

An additional note. You might be losing weight, but health and longevity are really the goals here. Weight loss is a very wonderful byproduct. You feel good, and you think clearly.

One of my friends has already got a new package coming.

I have tried many products for weight loss and this is way far beyond! They use clean ingredients and it detoxed my system in the blood level! People who are writing negative reviews because they probably didn't have health providers to guide them through!

ProLon was easy to do for me. I knew going in this is not for weight loss. This is to put your body into autophagy in order to stimulate growth factors. The name ProLon is prolonging your life. You may lose weight, but I wouldn't say do it only for that. You should do this if you have inflammation for sure and it is ideal to do a series of three. The diet is mimicked from blue zones.

I had been struggling with losing my stubborn visceral fat for some time. I'm active and eat relatively healthy foods, but I somehow couldn't get rid of these last few inches from my stomach.

I found out ProLon from a friend of mine who said she had success with it. She did the meal plan for about three months and she's at her goal weight now. She told me that she even feels healthier, more productive, happier, and just generally better.

So I too have used ProLon now once a month for two months and I'm happy to report that I'm doing very well with it. Not only have I trimmed down the hard-to-lose fat, but I also just feel better overall. I can tell that my mood and energy level have increased, and even on my non-fasting days, I feel fuller on less food. The fasting mimicking diet has really changed my life and I'm so grateful for what it has done for me.

I highly recommend this for anyone who's struggling with a diet and needs some discipline and guidance to achieve their goals. I, too, was wary about the idea of a prolonged fast, but the ProLon team and community have provided so much support through this.

Thank you again, and I can't wait for my next month's kit!
