What Is "Fasting Transformation?"

Since 2019, fastingtransformation.com has been a website dedicated to promoting the annual Fasting Transformation Summit, a live in-person event which brought together world leaders in fasting protocols and current research in nutrition science.

How Can Fasting Transform Your Body?

Fasting is a practice that has been around for centuries. Only recently has the scientific community has begun to take an interest in its potential health benefits. Studies have shown that fasting can have a profound impact on the body, including decreased inflammation, improved brain function, and reduced risk of chronic disease.

While there are many different ways to fast, the most common is intermittent fasting, which involves cycles of fasting and eating. There are a variety of health benefits associated with intermittent fasting, including weight loss, and improved mental clarity.

There are other benefits to intermittent fasting beyond weight loss. These include improved insulin sensitivity and increased cellular repair through autophagy.

The Fasting Mimicking Diet

A new way of fasting that has shown remarkable results is the Fasting Mimicking Diet, first described by Dr. Valter Longo at U.S.C. This protocol provides all the benefits of a strict water fast without the uncomfortable side effects.

The concept is fairly simple: a five-day fasting protocol that provides just enough low-glycemic, plant-based food to stave off hunger, while still putting the body's metabolism in a state of ketosis, which stimulates the autophagy process. The results have demonstrated that all the benefits of fasting can be obtained while still eating real food.

What Is "Eat Like an Italian?"

Eat Like an Italian is a digital media platform that promotes the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet as it is practiced in Italy. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Rick Zullo, an American expat living in Italy at the time, Eat Like an Italian has engaged readers with a lively dialogue on how to best mimic the Italian way of eating (https://eatlikeanitalian.com/origins-of-the-mediterranean-diet/) when living outside of Italy.

The concept of fasting is not unfamiliar to the Mediterranean Italian lifestyle (https://eatlikeanitalian.com/what-is-the-italian-mediterranean-diet/). For centuries, fasting was part of life, both for religious reasons, and quite often throughout history, from the scarcity of food. Nowadays, this way of fasting transformation is evident when we observe when Italians eat (https://eatlikeanitalian.com/when-to-eat-according-to-italians/), which turns out to be as important as "what" they eat. This is one of the reasons that Italians have the longest life expectancies in the world.
