What is the Fast Mimicking Diet?
The exact details of what the Fast Mimicking Diet is in terms of food breakdown aren’t available publicly. Which in part, can be explained by the fact that the main researcher behind the fast mimicking diet, Valter Longo, owns a patent on the FMD (published January 2015) and a company which has designed a comprehensive packaged FMD dietary product ProLon.
For our purposes though there is enough information available to put together our own version of it. The Fast Mimicking Diet I used and the other versions below, are based on some very specific FMD design points found in Longo’s January 2015 patent and the June 2015 study (the macro and micronutrient do’s and don’ts).
The nutrition rules established for the Fast Mimicking Diet are:
Each month (3 / 4 cycles in studies): 25 days eat normally, 5 days FMD
High micronutrient content (i.e. greater than 50 percent by weight) from natural sources
Ketogenic: Restricted protein and a high percentage of calories from fat
In practice this translates to:
Day 1: 54% norm caloric intake 1,090 kcal (10% protein, 56% fat, 34% carb)
Days 2–5: 34% norm caloric intake 725 kcal (9% protein, 44% fat, 47% carb)
