Fast Bar - Intermittent Fasting Bars

Fast Bar® is an intermittent fasting bar that can help curb your hunger without breaking your fast, so you can fast for longer. It has been clinically shown to keep your body in a fasting state even after eating. You can eat it in the morning after your overnight fast to help curb your hunger and extend your fast until your next meal. A clinical trial showed that eating a Fast Bar after an overnight fast has a similar impact on ketones and a nearly identical impact on blood glucose as drinking water*.

* Benefits seen in a randomized, controlled study in 105 adults after a 15-hour overnight fast comparing the glucose and ketone results every hour for 4 hours in the Fast Bar group, breakfast group and water-fast group. Data on file.

You should eat Fast Bar once a day, as we want people to follow a healthy, balanced diet including regular meals during the day.

You can eat it in the morning after your overnight fast or as a healthy snack anytime during the day, in addition to meals, to help curb your hunger.

The impact and safety of consuming more than one Fast Bar per day hasn’t been studied, and we recommend that you eat only one Fast Bar in the morning or evening, along with a healthy, balanced diet for your other meals.

Fast Bar is great for supporting Time Restricted Eating and other short fasts. If you seek the benefits of Prolonged Periodic Fasting, our 5-Day ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) has been extensively tested, has been safely used by hundreds of thousands of generally healthy consumers, and has been clinically tested to provide many benefits, and support overall metabolic health when used in multiple consecutive cycles.

The Fast Bar study tested the effects of eating a Fast Bar at breakfast time (after a 15-hour overnight fast), compared to either skipping breakfast or eating a standardized breakfast bar. The study looked at blood glucose and ketone levels over the 4-hour period after breakfast time and showed that blood glucose levels in patients eating Fast Bar were nearly identical to blood glucose levels in patients who skipped breakfast.

Ketone levels over the 4 hours were also very similar in both groups. These results showed that eating a Fast Bar doesn’t interfere with key physiological markers of fasting. The study also showed that Fast Bar gave people a feeling of being fuller and curbed the desire to eat for up to 3 hours after consumption. In other words, you can eat a Fast Bar to help make fasting easier and more pleasant, and maintain similar ketone and blood glucose levels as a water-only fast.

Yes! Fast Bar is designed with the same technology as the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet®. Our technology is the result of over 20 years of preclinical and clinical testing with over 36 million US dollars in research and development funding from the National Institutes of Health and the European Union.

You can repeat the program once a month. You do the program for 5 days, then have a rest period of 25 days, then you can do it again. During the rest period, you may eat healthy food and exercise!
