Experience fasting for 5 days while you keep eating delicious food. reSET is a plant-based fasting-mimicking program based on the nutritional protocol Prof. Valter Longo studied in clinical trials at the University of Southern California. You enjoy ready-to-eat meals, soups and snacks with a targeted balance of nutrients: about 1,000 kcal on day 1, then 750 kcal on days 2 to 5.
reSET is a Swiss alternative to other fasting-mimicking diets (FMD): every box is chef-created and made by hand in the canton of Zurich, and the program has been reviewed by a registered dietitian (BSc BFH SVDE) at Peak Nutrition GmbH.
Included: Pilates, yoga, breathwork and sound bath sessions, a mineral bath experience to unwind, botanical tablets for your evening ritual, to take before sleep, and 1:1 WhatsApp support throughout your 5 days.

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.
KEVIN HOF – MAVEN HEALTH
A fasting-mimicking program made in Switzerland
Fasting-mimicking is a way of fasting for 5 days while you keep eating. Instead of a water or juice fast, you follow a set menu of plant-based meals, soups and snacks that is low in calories, carbohydrates and protein, and higher in fat.
reSET was developed in Zurich by chef and founder Alex, who created every recipe. Each box is made by hand in the canton of Zurich and contains your meals, snacks, guide booklet and extras for all 5 days, so you don’t need to shop or cook.
We ship across Switzerland with Swiss PostPac Priority, from Zurich, Basel and Bern to Geneva, Lausanne and Ticino. The box needs no refrigeration, so you can start when it suits you, at home, at work or while travelling. If you have questions during your 5 days, you can message us on WhatsApp for 1:1 support.

No, pick-up is no longer possible.
You can start any time. Your program has a best-before date 9 months from production. It comes in a dry format and needs no special storage, so you can take it anywhere. You only need hot water to prepare your breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
A juice cleanse is mostly liquid. It usually provides mainly carbohydrates from fruit, with little protein, fat or fibre. reSET includes warm meals, crunchy nuts and snacks, with a fibre-focused menu in which fat is the main source of calories.
A water fast means no food at all. With reSET, you eat meals and snacks every day, at about 1,000 kcal on day 1 and 750 kcal on days 2 to 5. It is a different approach and does not replace medical advice on fasting.
The fasting-mimicking diet is a concept studied by Prof. Valter Longo at the University of Southern California. It involves 5 days of reduced calories, with low protein, low carbohydrates and a higher share of fat. reSET is inspired by this concept, with our own recipes and ingredients. You can read more in Prof. Longo's book, “The Longevity Diet”.
reSET has the following macronutrient breakdown:
Fats: 53-60% of daily calories
- The primary source of fats are monounsaturated fats (from nuts, and seeds) and polyunsaturated fats.
- Trans fats and highly processed oils are not found in reSET.
Carbohydrates: 25-34% of daily calories
- Carbohydrates come from whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and seeds.
- Processed and refined carbs (e.g., white bread, pasta) are not found in reSET.
Proteins: 13-16% of daily calories
- Protein sources include nuts and seeds
Additionally ,reSET provides 21–29 g of fibre a day, depending on the day.
You can order reSET directly from Eat by Alex. It is made in the canton of Zurich and shipped across Switzerland with Swiss PostPac Priority. It is also available in pharmacies and drugstores across Zurich.
One reSET program costs CHF 319, including tax. Packages of 2 or 3 cycles cost CHF 309 or CHF 289 per cycle. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
No. You only need hot water from a kettle for your breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and the snacks are ready to eat.
The reSET menu is 100% plant-based. It is produced in a facility that also processes milk, nuts, sesame, mustard, soy and gluten, so please check the ingredient list if you have an allergy.
You can take reSET to work, as the meals only need hot water and travel easily. Keep movement light to moderate and avoid high-intensity training. You may feel tired or hungry, so choose your 5 days with that in mind.
Yes, the reSET program was reviewed in January 2026 by a registered dietitian (BSc BFH SVDE) at Peak Nutrition GmbH.

- an athlete in training or competition
- allergic to nuts, seeds or grains
or if you have:
- liver or kidney disease

You may feel weak, have flu-like symptoms, nausea, dry mouth, constipation or diarrhoea, bloating or gas, feel cold or hungry, or be irritable. Headaches, from mild to strong migraines, are also very common in the first 2 to 3 days, especially when you cut out caffeinated drinks and refined sugars.
Clinical studies have identified potential risks and discomfort associated with low-calorie, low-protein diets such as reSET, including anxiety, depression, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache, hunger, irritability, muscle aches, nausea or spinal pain.
Drink plenty of water, and leave at least 12 hours between your last meal and the next day's first meal. If symptoms are severe or you feel unwell, stop the program and contact your doctor.
