Dr. Longo's research and development at The Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California have only solidified the benefits of fasting that was discovered so many years ago. For more than 20 years he developed his breakthrough nutri-technology that has now grown into ProLon.

Today, the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet®(FMD) is a 5-day dietary program designed to nourish and rejuvenate your body while supporting metabolic balance. FMD allows you to eat specially designed food that provides essential nutrition without activating the body's food-recognizing sensors, also known as Nutrient-Sensing Pathways. It keeps these sensors below a certain threshold. Put simply it's a fast with food - zero starvation with many of the benefits of a fast.

The program has been clinically tested at the University of Southern California and shown to trim the waistline, and when used in multiple consecutive cycles it does this while protecting lean body mass. The goal for many of us on a diet is to lose weight, which is achievable with ProLon, but it is not the only benefit. Completion of the 5-days can also lead to enhanced mental clarity, focus, and energy. It also helps cellular renewal which supports healthy aging. As the program reduces your cravings, it is also teaching you about portion control, and helps you to develop a positive relationship with food.

But how does ProLon do this? FMD works by unlocking the deepest level of fasting and triggering "autophagy." This is the natural way our cells clean damaged intracellular components out and get rid of cellular debris, resulting in cellular rejuvenation throughout the entire body.

Sign up is easy with three options to choose from; " Enhanced Fasting", "Perfect for First Time Fasters", and "Ultimate Fasting". The "Enhanced Fasting" plan is their on-going metabolic health and healthy aging maintenance plan that you subscribe to and receive the ProLon box once a month, you can cancel any time before shipping and it is for advanced fasters. The "Perfect for First Time Fasters" is what it says and is a once off box for beginners to try out.

It's great they offer so many options for everyone to try out their program. The program works best with it being done for 5-days a month for three consecutive months so you get all of the benefits they found in the clinical study. The " Ultimate Fasting" offering gives you all three boxes for a discounted price for people who know they want to give it their best shot, while the "Perfect for First Time Fasters" ($249) is just one box for 5-days for those who just want to give it a trial go.

Fasting Mimicking Diet

A Special Offer For Our Readers
Get 20 Free Fast Bars® with Your ProLon® Purchase!

Once you sign up, your ProLon box is delivered to your door with everything you will need for the 5 days. There is only minor food prep required such as heating water, and inside are 5 individual boxes organized for each day.

ProLon'sfood is plant-based and contains the right amount of macro and micronutrients you need while still mimicking the fasting state. The meal program includes a nut bar for breakfast, a plant-based soup for lunch, and a second plant-based soup for dinner.

There are also snacks throughout the day, such as olives and kale crackers. Some nights there's even a Choco Crisp bar. You also get herbal tea bags, supplements, and an energy drink that you add to water on days 2 through 5. You can add herbs to the soups in small quantities, to taste if you'd like, and of course, coffee is allowed (up to 8 oz per day, with nothing added). Everything is designed by a Michelin Star chef, too.

Day 1 on the program has the highest number of calories and the most food. This day, your body starts to move into a fasting and fat-burning state. The second day, fat-burning ramps up and ketogenesis usually begins. By day three your body is fully in the process of autophagy and clean-up stage, while ketogenesis continues. Day 4 you will possibly start feeling the benefits, feeling less bloated and fully in the groove, while also happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel as cellular rejuvenation and ketogenesis continues. By Day 5 you will likely be abundantly proud, along with all the other amazing benefits, as cellular renewal and ketogenesis continue.

After the 5 days, it is recommended to ease yourself back into a normal (preferably healthy diet) and try not to binge. But after 5-days of drinking so much liquid, understanding the healthy food and nutrition your body needs, it's likely you are already in the flow of mindfully eating healthy.

It is very clear that the ProLon FMD is backed by years of research and clinically-tested science. The program, with the box delivered to your door with literally everything you need to complete the full 5-days, is a super convenient fool-proof way for anyone who wants to give a fasting diet a go. Plus, over 95% of those who have used ProLon's Fasting Mimicking Diet® for the 1st time said they successfully completed the 5-day fast. In a survey of real ProLon users, the majority reported that they experienced weight loss, greater energy, mental clarity, and focus.

"Jesus Is King" Will Never Come Out: A List of Hip-Hop Albums That Never Dropped

With Jesus Is King's release date changed once again to this Friday, let's take a look at hip-hop's other infamous releases that never materialized.

Chances are October 25 will come and go without a new album from Kanye West.

We've come to expect being disappointed by Kanye. And despite his recent official "announcement" about the release of his album Jesus Is King via Twitter, fans were quick to troll and dismiss the tweet as a false promise. It's been a rough road for Kanye fans in the last year. His recent "Sunday Service" performances have disturbed the masses. Some believe they affirm Kanye's long-held God complex, while others view his latest post-MAGA obsession to be more of a manic episode. Some believe he's simply spreading the gospel and that he's truly been "saved." Regardless, it's all cast Jesus Is King in a puzzling light, and fans truly don't know what to expect, or whether to expect anything at all. The one thing we know for certain is that the guy is a total pr*ck to his wife these days.

Will Jesus Is King become the next Fear Inoculum? Probably. It would be quite like Kanye to be his own hype beast. In the meantime, let's take a look back at a few of hip-hop's other notorious unreleased projects, all of which are, honestly, more likely to be released in 2019 than Jesus Is King.

MC Hammer and 2Pac's ​"Too Tight​"

MC Hammer signed with Death Row in 1995, but his highly-anticipated label debut, Too Tight, never saw the light of day. The project was much anticipated because of Hammer's alleged collaborations with Tupac Shakur on the project. The former left the record company shortly after the death of the latter. He later explained in an interview his concerns over the circumstances surrounding Tupac's death. He spoke to the rapper right before he died, and he was in Las Vegas the night of the shooting. Hammer later released "Too Late Playa," which featured the late Shakur as well as Big Daddy Kane and Danny Boy.Too Tight probably would have been amazing.

Every year, as soon as swimsuit season starts to wind down, I can't resist indulging in my cravings. Essentially, after months of depriving myself of pasta in the name of looking good on the beach, the second the temperature starts to drop, it is carb overload time!

However, after just a few weeks of "treating myself," I'm already feeling (and seeing) the difference. My jeans are hardly closing, and I'm super lethargic all the time. My girlfriends and I have a Miami winter vacation planned in a couple of weeks, so I'm determined to get my body and mind back to a place I'm happy with.

In the past, I've attempted juice cleansing but could never manage to stick to a full day. I've never found one that worked for me. This time, I wanted to find something that could really help me kickstart a healthy eating plan and actually stick to it, long term. I wanted to feel less bloated, so I could get back to my cycling and dance classes a few times a week as well.

A coworker of mine mentioned that she had just recently reset her eating habits with a cleanse from Lemonkind, a brand that sells pressed juices to help reboot your body. She said that they make non-GMO natural juice blends that are gluten-free and are designed to debloat and boost your metabolism while providing the right nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day.

I did more research to learn more about the juices, and I came across their 3 Day Super Detox Me Juice Cleanse. The cleanse has 24 juices in total—8 per day for 3 days. Although it sounded a little intimidating at first, what really convinced me to give it a try was the fact that the juices can be stored unrefrigerated for a while before opening. That really took the pressure off the entire experience—I could go at my own pace, and I really liked the sound of that.

After debating between the 1-day and 3-day cleanses, I decided to try the latter. And if I couldn't commit all 3 days, I knew that I'd just have extra juice cleanses to use as quick 1-day cleanses in the future.

The experience was nothing like anything I had tried in the past. LemonKind lays out a sustainable schedule, telling you when and why to drink each juice throughout the day. I liked knowing that I was grabbing an energizing juice in the morning, and one with more calming properties before bed at night. It felt personalized to my needs. We all know that juice cleanses can be really hard, but with LemonKind, I stayed full the whole time.

By the end of Day 3, I was over the moon because I experienced things I wasn't expecting. I felt refreshed. I slept like a baby, my skin was glowing, and I noticed my jeans buttoned easier because my stomach was a little flatter. But more importantly, this time around, I felt motivated to continue making better health choices—I've started ordering the half turkey sandwich/half green salad combo at work instead of the mac'n'cheese with the Cobb salad. I even went to the supermarket to buy ingredients to prep meals for the week, so I could stop ordering takeout so often.

Now that our trip is just around the corner, I'm feeling good about myself, and I can't wait to relax at the beach. I know that even if I indulge a little on vacay, a Lemonkind cleanse is only a click away and ready to help get my health back on track.
