Why would I knowingly eat high histamine foods for a week?

Fasting Mimicking Diet. What is it and does it work?

Why would I knowingly have high histamine foods for a week? Why would I inflict that pain on myself?

We’ve just finished Dr. Valter Longo’s challenging ProLon experience. 5 days of near starvation - but my goodness, my energy levels are through the roof now.

The picture above shows our ‘his-n-hers’ Prolon boxes.

How romantic! 😂

You get a safe amount of calories to keep going through the week.

But would I recommend it for histamine intolerance sufferers? Probably not.

TIME Magazine nominated Dr. Longo to be among the top 50 most influential people in health, so this is really worth considering, but histamine intolerance brings its own challenges.

The idea of ProLon is your body gets a big clear-out and a reset. So far so good, right?

The problems come because the menu is somewhat high histamine - so I was nervous. It’s been a long time since i’ve knowingly had tomato soup, for example. Yes there are definitely some suspect histamine ingredients.

All that said, many people in the histamine intolerance community still think it’s a worthwhile idea.

Here is an interesting article on ProLon and histamine intolerance on the Healing Histamine website.

On balance I enjoyed it, and I feel really energized after it.

I found it a worthwhile experience but I did react a bit to some of the meals and couldn’t honestly recommend it for everybody with histamine intolerance as I know from your messages how some people suffer from this condition.

I like to let you know about the stuff I try that works as well as those I don’t recommend. ProLon clearly has benefits for many but not all people. Please do consult with your practitioner if you are interested in trying it.

BiOptimizers: We all cheat sometimes. So it just makes sense to have a way to maintain healthy blood sugar day in, day out, even if you have an “off” day.

That’s why I recommend a product called Blood Sugar Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. This easy to take supplement is the result of numerous tests to find the absolute best formula for maintaining healthy blood sugar. In fact, BiOptimizers went through 5 different formulations before landing on this one.

Blood Sugar Breakthrough works to safely lower blood sugar after meals so that you can maintain a healthy weight and redirect carbs to your muscles where they can be burned for energy. This means you’ll avoid the worst effects of high blood sugar — like weight gain — while enjoying more stable energy, mental clarity, and fewer cravings.

For an exclusive offer for my listeners just go to www.bloodsugarbreakthrough.health/zestology and save 10 percent with code ZESTOLOGY10 then you try Blood Sugar Breakthrough.

Oh, and if you use that link www.bloodsugarbreakthrough.health/zestology your exclusive 10% discount will already be applied.
