What’s the fake-fasting diet? And can it help you ‘age backwards’?

Fake fasting, or fasting mimicking diet (FMD), allows you to reap fasting benefits without going hungry by consuming small nutrient-dense meals. Developed by Professor Valter Longo, FMD supports cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and lowers insulin, promoting fat loss while preserving lean muscle. The diet includes plant-based soups, energy bars, and low-glycemic fruits, and can reduce diabetes risk factors and age-related illnesses.
