摘要

My bitterness peaked midway through day four of the "Fast-Mimicking Diet," when a parent arrived at my daughter's soft-ball game with doughnuts. As little girls and fellow coaches crowded around the box, I stood apart, glumly sipping out of my special water bottle with its "proprietary" blend of nutrients.For breakfast, I'd consumed a nut bar the size of a small cracker and a couple of vitamins. Lunch was five olives from Seville.Frankly, I'd begun to resent Valter Longo, the inventor of Prolon, the five-day, $250 fad diet causing my misery. True, the Italian-born biochemist had seemed perfectly nice when I'd reached him at his office at the University of Southern California's Longevity Institute a few days before to speak with him about the science behind the diet and what it might do for my general health and longevity. He had patiently explained how the diet would temporarily shift my body into a starvation state that would prompt my cells to consume years of accumulated cellular garbage before unleashing a surge of restorative regeneration. Getting rid of garbage had sounded like just what I needed. But now I blamed him for my predicament. I wanted a doughnut.My Prolon "meal kit" had arrived in a white cardboard container a little bigger than a shoebox. Inside I'd found a meal program card spelling out the menu, a large empty water bottle emblazoned with the word "Prolon," and five smaller cardboard boxes, each labeled with a corresponding day. I opened the box for day one, billed as a higher-calorie "transition day," and was pleasantly surprised. It didn't look so bad. I'd be sampling many of the diet's highlights: a small packet of kale crackers, powdered tomato soup blend, algae oil supplements, a bag of olives, herbal tea, and not one but two nut-based bars (albeit distressingly small).
