Scientists used to think that calorie balance (i.e.: calories consumed minus calories burned) was the most important factor in weight loss. But scientists now widely accept that not all calories are the same. Factors such as macronutrient ratios, total amounts, how the nutrients are digested and absorbed, and molecular composition all have an impact on how the body processes food.
The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) and Nutrition Bar have been carefully engineered, extensively researched, and clinically tested to allow for the consumption of nutrients and calories but still keep cells in a fasting state. Our special patented formula effectively hides from the body’s nutrient sensors, preventing them from sending the hormone signal that typically is sent after eating. The cells respond to the decrease in this hormone signal by entering a fasting state.
