Dr. Berg talks about Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD). FMD, developed by Valter Longo, is a diet where you basically consume 800 calories for five days and then go back to regular eating for the rest of the month. This will be done for 3 months. Problems with the Fasting Mimicking Diet program will also be tackled.

Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) Macros:

• 9% Protein

• 44% Fat

• 47% Carbs

Diet Foods:

• Vegetables Soup

• Energy Drink

• Energy Bar

• Chip Snack

• Tea

• Supplement

Problem with Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD):

1. Overpriced

2. Contains sugar – low quality foods that stimulate insulin

3. Low-calorie diet – It is not fasting but it is a fasting mimicking program.

4. Very painful - People who are doing this are suffering because they are not going into a gradual adaptation process.

5. This does not teach healthy lifestyle.
