Fasting-mimicking diets. FMD differs from IF [intermittent fasting] in that it allows for reduced calorie intake instead of complete abstinence of food... FMD constitutes periodic cycles of consecutive days consuming a reduced-calorie diet followed by eating "ad libitum"... FMD could be a plant-based diet, low in protein and sugar content. 4, record 2, English, - fasting%2Dmimicking%20diet
