This post will be a little different than what I usually write here, and that's because I have had a recent personal health discovery, namely, fasting with food (you heard that right) with Prolon. #prolonpartner #ad
I'm very excited to share more with you going forward and I was so inspired by these beneficial foods, the science behind them (that is supported by 20 years and $36M in research and development), and the results I've felt with my first fast that I became a Prolon partner. (That means if you make a purchase through my links or using my discount code, I could earn a small commission. But rest assured, I would never get behind a health product I didn't truly believe in it.)
I'm about to do my second round of fasting (with delicious FOOD! -I bet you didn't know you could fast WITH food?!) in a week or so, and I'd love to bring you with me on the adventure. I'm especially excited because subsequent rounds are generally even easier that the first...bring it on!
So be sure you're following me on Instagram especially if you'd like to see how it's going, but you'll also see me sharing on Facebook.

More about Prolon
Prolon has been designed to mimic a water fast, but WITH perfectly studied and balanced macro and micro nutrients that your body needs to get the benefits of being in a fasted state.
What are some of the benefits you might see while completing a 5 day restricted calorie diet (in combination with your healthy lifestyle)?
Weight Loss (typically about 5lbs in 5 days)
Reduced abdominal fat
Support for your body's natural process of intracellular clean-up and renewal (which supports healthier aging...including for your skin)
Support for your body's detoxification process
Support for your metabolic balance
Support for your cardiovascular health
Reduced cravings
Boosted clarity and focus
Those are just a FEW of the most impressive effects from the scientific standpoint.
Here are a few of my personal anecdotes from my first fast (some of which are directly supported by Prolon literature): during the fast, my hunger was reduced a bit each day; by day 4 I was feeling energized and had a sharp increase in mental clarity; my resting heart rate, which is firmly in a healthy range, went down a few beats each day; even from my starting point of an already healthy relationship with food, I really did look at food as fuel more than ever.
Since the fast: I've kept off the few lost pounds after almost 6 weeks; my acid reflux was drastically reduced during the fast and for weeks after; my sugar cravings are nearly nonexistent; my snacking calories are down by about half the amount I used to consume every week; I'm more mindful than ever of portion sizes; my energy levels have been fantastic in the weeks since completing my first round.
I'll be blogging and talking about my second round quite a bit, so I hope you'll watch for that and comment/question anything you'd like to hear more about! And if I feel the way I did after my first round...I'm sure I'll continue to talk about ProLon for a long time (and probably in better health for that long time!).
They also have one-day resets and other fasting mimicking foods, so check out the full offering here!
