Essentially, during the fast, the body cannibalizes a significant percentage 30%? (IIRC) of immune cells. Once the fast completes, the refeeding cycle regenerates brand new cells from stem cells which results in resetting auto-immune symptoms.
For serious cases of necessary therapy, they do this on a 25 day (normal) /5 (fast) cycle.
Reviews say that the book that Dr Valter Longo promotes is a big ad for his fasting-mimicking diet kit, but they have a brief screen shot of the fasting-mimicking diet protocol which is:
day 1 - 1100 calories (11/46/43% protein/fat/carb)
day 2-5 - 720 calories (9/44/47% protein/fat/carb) macronutrient breakdown.
This works out to:
day 1 - 30g protein, 56g fat, 118g carb
day 2-5 - 16g protein, 35g fat, 85g carb
