                                Studies have repeatedly shown that the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) is specifically formulated to help mitigate the risk of muscle loss, a concern often associated with traditional water-only fasting. Unlike severe caloric restriction, FMD provides controlled, plant-based nutrition to trigger cellular repair while preserving lean muscle mass.
