What is the Fasting Mimicking Diet?

After 20 years of extensive research, the Longevity Institute discovered a nutrition formulation, known as the Fasting Mimicking Diet® , that supplies the body with specific foods while also allowing it to remain in a fasted state for a host of positive health effects that extend well beyond weight loss and fat reduction.

Fast Bar™ was clinically tested as part of the Fasting Mimicking Diet and is the only nutrition bar that may mimic fasting. It’s a nourishing source to satisfy food cravings while extending an intermittent fast until the next meal.

What is tapioca fiber syrup?

It is a prebiotic vegetable fiber that has a sweet syrup taste with only 1 gram of net carbs (and 5 grams of fiber!) per serving.

What can I substitute for the tapioca fiber syrup?

If you substitute anything in this recipe, you will alter the nutritional profile. However, if you must substitute the tapioca fiber syrup, you can use sugar-free maple syrup or honey.

What is the nutritional profile for each bar?

Each bar will weigh 40 grams and contain 195 calories, 17 grams of fat, 13 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

What if my bars seem to soft?

You can always pulse in some additional coconut flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture begins to bind together.

Can I use roasted and salted nuts?

You can use roasted and salted nuts but I would suggest eliminating the salt in the recipe. Also, you may need to add a little more honey or tapioca fiber syrup as the mixutre may be more dry when using roasted nuts.

When should I eat these bars during a fast?

These bars are actually meant to be eaten daily to help prolong your fast. So, if you are trying to only eat in an 8-hour window, you can eat this bar 2-4 hours before and still remain in a fasting state until you actually want to break your fast.
