5 days of Fasting-Mimicking

Your Program Journey Step by Step

DAY 1 - ACTIVATION

You have reduced your calories from a regular diet to about 1100 kcal. Your body may now start entering into fasting mode. This is also when you may start the process of cellular clean-up, called autophagy. For some, fat burning starts right away.

DAY 2 - KETOGENESIS

As you further restrict your daily calories to 800 kcal, your body may start to produce ketones. By the end of the day, ketosis may start. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body uses fat, rather than glucose (sugar), as its primary source of energy.

DAY 3 - CLEANSE

Research shows that when the food intake is reduced, such as today with 800 kcal again, the energy levels of cells drop. This stress signals cells to initiate autophagy as a way to recycle existing components and maintain cellular function. Fat burning and ketosis may also increase today.

DAY 4 - REJUVENATION

Today you will eat 800 kcal again. Autophagy should reach its peak, and you may feel a boost of energy and positive mood. Fat-burning might continue, and feelings of hunger might also be further reduced.

DAY 5 - ENERGY

Today is your last day on 800 calories and your body is freshly energised and reset. Cellular renewal may continue beyond day 5, with lasting results of fat burning, increased mental clarity, and energy.

The science of fasting-mimicking

View full research

BURNS ABDOMINAL FAT

Like other restricted calorie diets, the Fasting-Mimicking Diet can help in weight loss and abdominal fat burning by reducing calorie intake and promoting the body’s fat-burning mechanisms.

Burns abdominal fat

The Fasting-Mimicking Diet, like other calorie-restricted diets, offers a potent tool for weight loss by strategically curbing calorie consumption and promoting the body's fat-burning mechanisms. This high fat, low carbohydrate dietary approach involves periods of reduced calorie intake designed to mimic the effects of fasting, leading to a calorie deficit. By consuming fewer calories than the body needs, the body is prompted to turn to fat stores for energy, effectively promoting weight loss. Studies have shown that three cycles of Fasting-Mimicking diets significantly reduced body weight and body fat.

IMPROVES METABOLIC HEALTH

Fasting-Mimicking Diets can induce metabolic switching, whereby the body undergoes a transition in fuel utilisation from glucose to ketones. This process is believed to contribute to the improvements in metabolic markers such as blood sugar levels, cholesterol and triglycerides. 

Improves metabolic health

Fasting-Mimicking Diets have been shown to improve various metabolic markers which are closely linked with aging, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Valter Longo’s landmark study of the Fasting-Mimicking Diet showed participants experienced lower blood pressure, decreased insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Research indicates that Fasting-Mimicking Diets can induce metabolic switching, the process by which the body undergoes a transition in fuel utilisation from glucose to ketones. This process is believed to contribute to the improvements in metabolic markers. 

ENHANCES MENTAL CLARITY

Fasting and Fasting-Mimicking Diets can increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein that supports brain Function and reduces the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

Enhances mental clarity

The Fasting-Mimicking Diet can promote brain health by increasing levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF is a crucial protein that supports brain function and reduces the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. BDNF promotes the growth, development, and survival of neurons in the brain. High levels of BDNF are associated with good cognitive performance including learning and memory. Decreased BDNF expression is seen in many neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s. BDF is a critical protein that supports brain function and has a broad influence on various aspects of brain health and well-being.

STIMULATES CELLULAR REJUVENATION

Fasting stimulates autophagy, a process whereby cells clean out damaged components. The Fasting-Mimicking Diet has been shown to promote the regeneration of stem cells, especially in the immune system.

Stimulates cellular rejuvenation

Fasting triggers a cellular process called autophagy, a process whereby cells eliminate damaged components. Autophagy can help to maintain cellular health and function.  A Fasting Mimicking Diet, which is designed to replicate the effects of fasting, has been shown to promote the regeneration of new stem cells, particularly within the immune system. Fostering the regeneration of immune stem cells can potentially boost the body’s immune function and enhance its ability to repair and rejuvenate tissues.

reSET promotes metabolic flexibility and supports “cellular clean-up.” It is long enough to generate lasting positive effects, yet short enough to avoid overburdening the body. More from Peak Nutrition.

The findings of our study with reSET indicate that FMDs can promote weight loss - largely due to fat burn, alter bioenergetic substrate utilization, and enhance gut microbiome activity. Learn more about the study.

What makes the reSET program different?

reSET is a unique fasting-mimicking program that:

  • requires no cooking - we have done it all for you, everything is individually portioned, fully cooked and delivered to your door. All you have to do is follow the meal plan.
  • is delicious - each recipe (from the nuts to the soups) has been carefully created by Alex, a trained chef, so you can be certain it is not only healthy but delicious
  • is full of fibre - this is not a juice fast where you only drink liquid for a week, it is a fibre rich menu where you get to enjoy crunchy nuts, flavourful soups, and even a brownie bite bar! Your digestion will thank you.
  • is low in sugar - instead of a fruit overload seen in some fasts, enjoy a balanced menu of savoury soups, and both sweet and savoury snacks. Any natural sugar you get is paired with fibre to reduce blood sugar spikes.
  • includes fitness & mindfulness - we don't underestimate the power of a holistic approach to health. That's why you get free and unlimited access to online fitness and mindfulness sessions as part of the program. Gentle exercise supports the detox process, and mindfulness will reduce your stress and help you get good sleep as your body transforms.
How often can you do reSET?

No more than one week every month if you are healthy with a normal weight and if you are regularly exercising.

Fasting-mimicking vs juice cleanse (sometimes also referred as a juice fast)

We explain how a juice cleanse compares to fasting-mimicking in this blog post. To summarize, our reSET fasting mimicking program is science-based unlike any of the juice cleanses, it is more convenient, easier to finish, and more nutrient rich due to a high content in fibres.

Fasting-mimicking vs water fast

Water fasting, known for its potential stress on the body, can be challenging to maintain. Research conducted by Dr. Valter Longo revealed that most individuals struggled to complete water fasts due to the difficulty of sustaining such a regimen without any food. Good news - obtaining the same results as water fasting is entirely achievable without putting your body into stress-mode due to prolonged deprivation. That's why we created reSET.

How does fasting-mimicking work?

reSET is a 5-day program inspired by the fasting-mimicking diet created by Dr. Valter Longo. He has dedicated years of research to achieving longevity, slow aging, reducing disease and weight management through plant-based and whole food nutrition. You can read more about it in his book “The Longevity Diet” which we highly recommend. Eat by Alex created this program using the concept of fasting-mimicking which puts your body into a fasting mode while still providing the right nutrients and supplements to your body. The restricted calorie diet makes your body think you are fasting and therefore reset and cleanse. The package includes all your meals as well as supplements for 5 days.

What are the macronutrients in reSET?

In reSET, we follow the fasting-mimicking diet approach by Dr. Valter Longo. reSET has the following macronutrient breakdown:


Fats: 50-55% of daily calories

  • The primary source of fats is healthy fats, mainly monounsaturated fats (from olive oil, nuts, and seeds) and polyunsaturated fats
  • Saturated fats, found in foods like dairy, are not found in reSET.
  • Trans fats and highly processed oils are not found in reSET.

Carbohydrates: 35-40% of daily calories

  • Carbohydrates come from whole grains (like whole wheat, farro, quinoa, and brown rice), fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
  • Processed and refined carbs (e.g., white bread, pasta, sugary foods) are not found in reSET.

Proteins: 10-15% of daily calories

  • Protein sources include legumes, nuts, seeds
Is it approved by a nutritionist?

Yes, the reSET program has been reviewed and approved by the team at Peak Nutrition GmbH.

Who is it not for?

If you are:

  • pregnant or breastfeeding
  • underweight (BMI less than 18.5)
  • taking medications
  • feeling weak
  • sick
  • an athlete in training or competition
  • allergic to nuts, seeds, or grains

or if you have:

  • diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune or neurodegenerative disease - please consult your physician for advice, permission and approval
  • liver or kidney disease
  • low blood pressure or high blood pressure
  • history of eating disorders
  • thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism

Consult and seek approval from your doctor or nutritionist before signing up for reSET.

Are there any possible side effects to reSET?

Many people experience few, if any, symptoms during the reSET program. However, some symptoms are indicative of toxins leaving your body. In fact, the more toxins there are to be eliminated, the more symptoms you can experience. These feelings typically pass within the first 3 days.

You may feel weak, flu like symptoms, nausea, dry mouth, constipation or diarrhea, bloating and/or gas, feeling cold, feeling hungry, and irritability. Headaches, ranging from mild to strong migraines, are also very common during the first 2 to 3 days especially when you eliminate caffeinated drinks and refined sugars. Headaches can be relieved by drinking additional water or one black coffee.

Clinical studies have identified potential risks and discomfort associated with low calorie and low protein diets such as reSET, including anxiety, depression, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache, hunger, irritability, muscle aches, nausea or spinal pain. You may also feel kidney and liver pain as your body works very hard to detoxify.

The hungry feeling comes from the hunger hormone called Ghrelin which spikes around mealtimes. The reSET program will help you stabilise Ghrelin, and we recommend you leave at least 12 hours between your last meal and the next day’s first meal.
