THE PROLON PUSH

THE PROLON PUSH

Long time readers know I’ve had great success with ProLon FMD. I began my first round in 2019 and felt the results both physically and mentally. The FMD kick started my journey to a healthier me I didn’t think was possible at my age. But recently, life and stress interfered with my focus and I needed a “push” to get back on track. That’s a key reason I return to the FMD a couple of times a year. I refer to these subsequent rounds as my ProLon Push. They help me regain my focus and motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle.

In previous posts, all linked below, I talk in detail about my experience with the FMD, plus some tips that helped me along the way.

I want to add here one thing I’ve noticed that makes a big difference for me in maintaining any weight loss and good eating habits. Although the FMD is a five day program, if I use Day Six and the following few days as a transitional continuation of the program, the results from the FMD stick. This may sound obvious and is part of ProLon’s recommendation, but some people ignore this detail and jump right back into their old ways.

One of my favorite benefits from ProLon is a renewed approach to eating and recognition of how much I actually need to feel satisfied. Treating the days following the FMD equally as important as the five day fast is key for me to ensure long lasting results.

The last couple of years, I’ve done a round of ProLon at the end of summer. It sets the tone and pushes me both mentally and physically to maintain good habits as we approach the upcoming holiday season.

updated: Please use code SUMMER20 for 20% OFF from September 14-September 21,  plus you’ll receive a free box of 20 Fast Bars. I like to keep at least one kit on hand so it’s available for me or my family when we’re ready for another round.

    Just finished my 3rd round. It has truly been a game changer for me as well.

    May I ask what you eat on day six and seven ?how long do you maintain an 800 calorie diet after the 5 day fast? I’ve done 4-5 rounds over the past 2 years , but haven’t done what you’re recommending with extending it. I’m about to start a FMD next week. Thank you for the recommendation

      I bump up the calorie consumption starting day 6 but I choose highly nutritious food. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats and greek yogurt make up the bulk of my diet. I should add I avoid alcohol the week after ProLon too. My appetite and cravings are reduced considerably.

    Karima, I’m about to start a program. Did it once before and didn’t get great results, appreciate your pointers on keeping it going. Question, do you stop taking things like protein powders, collagen, etc. during the plan?

My weekend plans involve a lot of relaxing. I’m My weekend plans involve a lot of relaxing. I’m still playing catch up from my trip so the idea of poking around the house is very appealing. I want to tidy things up for the season now that we’re already in July. Fresh table linens, raffia accents, and new candles will be brought into rotation. 
.
I’m sure you’ve seen the images this week of Nancy Meyers’s @markdsikes_interiors designed home as published in Architectural Digest. I can’t wait to curl up on a lounge chair and read the full story. Every photo I’ve seen so far is simply stunning. Such talent.
.
I’ve obsessed about this Tory Burch printed tablecloth (scroll forward) since I saw it in the New York store last September. It’s time to bring it home. It’s beautiful and will pair nicely with pinks, blues and greens now or warmer tones in the fall. A raffia placemat will add texture and interest peaking out from under a charger or plate. For a complete splurge, I’d select hand painted plates from the Picardie collection created by Zoe de Givenchy for @zdgofficial So lovely.
.
Meanwhile, part of my lounging around means wearing relaxed clothes. My favorite pull on shorts from @cosstores have been getting lots of play. Same with a poplin shirt I’ll tie at the waist or layer over a tank.
.
Two other favorite pieces I’ve been wearing a lot lately are a pair of @fendi silver slides and a @sophiebuhai black knotted pearl necklace. I’ll layer it with other pearls, chains, diamonds or enjoy it simply on its own. Both pieces involve minimal effort in producing a splash of style.
.
The @frenchgirlorganics Rose Lip Polish has been a staple in my beauty cabinet for a long time. My latest discovery is to use it on my cuticles. Seriously the best thing ever. I’m stocking up! This is a must try and savior for anyone with dry cuticles.
.
Enjoy the long weekend and have a happy Fourth!
My wardrobe is fairly consistent with classic piec My wardrobe is fairly consistent with classic pieces so I’ll add fresh, seasonal accessories to bring a little flair to my looks. In collaboration with #Mytheresa I handpicked items that would boost my summer outfits while still staying true to my style. Think raffia bags, bucket hats and flat sandals – summer staples with a twist.

Warm summer days mean baring a bit more skin wearing sleeveless tops, shorter hems, and beachwear. I have an arsenal of products I use to prep for the extra exposure. From self tanning products and bronzers to a strong sunscreen, I’ve got my favorites.

Working with an annual budget of over one million dollars, Jeff Leatham designs new arrangements every three works with stems refreshed daily. That's roughly 15,000 stems a week.
