"When your stomach is full， it is easy to talk about fasting" - Hieronymus Two things brought us （the five authors） to this book: On the one hand， great books like "The Longevity Diet" by Valter Longo。 On the other hand， first fasting experiences we had personally experienced。 Whether it was juice fasting， intermittent fasting， therapeutic fasting， water fasting or base fasting， each of us had already tried at least one of them。
In the end， it seemed evident to us: According to the current state of science and respective studies， "mimic fasting" with its five-day fasting program is the most promising method。 This rather new fasting method seems to allow you to eat more than you would with the classic fasting methods and their diet plans， but you still get all the advantages / health benefits of those fasting programs。 Be it in the context of diabetes， weight loss， anti-aging， or stem cell activation。 Our conclusion is that the Mimic Fasting Recipes: The Fasting Mimicking Diet （FMD） is an experience that everyone should have once in their life。
