The 5-Day Fast Mimicking diet offers all the benefits of a cleanse, or fast, without the hunger.
Dr. Longo describes how the diets in the book are designed to slow down brain aging, regenerate stem cells, prevent disease, and reduce weight.

Dr. Valter Longo is the director of the Longevity Institute at USC in Los Angeles, and of the Program on Longevity and Cancer at IFOM (Molecular Oncology FIRC Institute) in Milan. His studies focus on the fundamental mechanisms of aging in simple organisms and mice and on how they can be translated to humans. Not coincidentally, Longo is from a town in Italy that is home to some of the longest- lived people in the world.
