/ Fast Mimicking

Combining ketosis, calorie reduction and intermittent fasting

/ A Double Fountain of Youth Effect

Can we rediscover the cleansing power of fasting? Science suggests we can. Research on nutrition and health confirms that how we fast is important. Particularly revealing are insights from Blue Zone studies – regions where people consistently live long, healthy lives. Data indicates that targeted calorie reduction and intermittent fasting not only promote longevity but also help prevent age-related diseases. Could fast mimicking be the key to sustainable health?

Recent studies show that a low-carbohydrate diet high in healthy fats offers significant health benefits. It can support weight loss, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Building on these insights, the evidence-based Mylife Changer® metabolic programme was developed following over a decade of research by Papp & Papp, in collaboration with medical experts and scientists. It combines two scientifically proven nutritional principles to promote health and longevity.

1. Reducing carbohydrates

By dramatically reducing carbohydrates, the body shifts into a specialised form of fat metabolism known as ketosis. When combined with controlled calorie reduction, this process activates fast mimicking, delivering the benefits of fasting – without complete food abstinence. Quite the opposite! The Mylife Changer® metabolic programme includes three daily meals, plus two protein snacks to prevent muscle loss and promote satiety by suppressing the hunger hormone ghrelin.

2. Intermittent fasting

Additionally, the programme incorporates intermittent fasting, ensuring a minimum 12-hour break between dinner and breakfast. This amplifies the fasting effect, enhancing overall metabolic health.

/ What Happens During Ketosis?

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body switches from burning glucose to using fat for energy. Normally, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, but these reserves are depleted within 24–48 hours. When this happens, the body begins breaking down dietary fat or stored fat into free fatty acids. In the liver, these fatty acids are converted into ketone bodies, which circulate in the bloodstream and serve as an alternative energy source – especially for the brain, which typically depends on glucose. Research suggests that ketones may play a role in neurological health. Studies indicate that they help stabilise gamma brainwave activity, which is associated with memory, focus and neuroprotection. This shows promise for the potential of ketosis in preventing and managing conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

‘Through ketosis and the fast-mimicking state, the body reduces inflammation, regulates blood sugar and insulin levels, and activates autophagy, the natural cell renewal process.’ Dr Alexander Papp

/ What Does Autophagy Mean?

Autophagy is a vital cellular self-cleaning process that supports overall health, cellular recovery and disease prevention. It helps eliminate pathogens such as bacteria and viruses within cells while removing damaged components, preventing deterioration and promoting regeneration. At the same time, it recycles cellular waste into energy, ensuring optimal function. Autophagy also plays a crucial role in preventing the accumulation of harmful proteins – particularly important in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia. The Mylife Changer® metabolic programme actively stimulates autophagy, initiating a deep cellular cleansing process with far-reaching health benefits.

/ Mylife Changer® Study – Clinically Tested on 4,000 Patients

A recent study confirmed the effectiveness of the MLC® programme in supporting weight loss for overweight patients preparing for bariatric surgery, such as a gastric bypass.

Weight Loss: Participants lost an average of 7.8 kg, primarily from fat mass.
Liver Health: The left lobe of the liver reduced in size by 22.3%, improving conditions for safer surgical procedures.
Metabolic Improvements: Significant reductions in blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides and HbA1c were observed.
