5 day Reset FMD Menu - available Sunday 13th September
Want a healthy food reset, a detox after a summer of excess and too much wine and food? Plus a week off cooking and shopping? Then this could be the answer...
This five day food program (based on the Fast Mimicking Diet/FMD) was developed by Professor Valter Longo. I have based the recipes and ingredients on his principles.
The 'rules' for the FMD week, according to Valter Longo, are:
- Day One – 1100 calories
- Days two to five – 800 calories
- You should confine eating to a 12-hour period e.g start after 8am, end before 8pm
- Don't eat within three hours of bedtime
- Drink plenty of water and can also have black tea, coffee, herbal teas etc.
