This is the clinically tested, revolutionary and straightforward diet to help you slow-down ageing, fight disease and lose weight.
Following 30 years of research, Professor Valter Longo - a biochemist and one of the world's leading researchers into ageing - discovered that the secret of longevity lies in cellular regeneration triggered by a special diet.
And that by adhering to his fasting-mimicking diet, we can heal ourselves through food.

· An easy-to-adopt lifetime plan
· Fasting-mimicking diet 3-4 times a year, just 5 days at a time
· 30 easy and delicious recipes based on Longo's 'Five Pillars of Longevity'
In this lifelong, health-boosting plan, you will feel the benefits of fasting without the hunger and live a longer, healthier and more fulfilled life.
And you'll get to try easy, plant-and-fish based recipes . . .
· Great for the heart and rich in antioxidants: black rice with courgette and shrimp
