Part 6/10:
The fasting mimicking diet involves a carefully controlled 5-day protocol that significantly reduces calorie intake—around 600 calories on day one, then 300 calories daily for the next four days. Its composition is low in protein and moderate to high in carbohydrates and fats, promoting cellular stress that preferentially affects cancer cells harboring the KRAS mutation.
When combined with high-dose vitamin C, this diet creates a hostile environment for these specific cancer cells, leading to their death while sparing healthy cells. The diet is typically plant-based and is repeated monthly, emphasizing its practicality and safety for ongoing use.
