ProGen offers scientifically backed Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) designed for rapid fat loss while preserving muscle mass. It follows a two-stage approach:
Achieve your target weight through a protein-rich, low-carb diet that induces controlled ketosis, burning fat for energy. This is additionally supported by Mitochondrial Activation Training (MAT) to enhance metabolism and burn intramuscular fat.
A personalized nutrition plan based on your genetic profile, ensuring long-term weight maintenance and a healthy lifestyle transformation.
The first stage of treatment is based on a Very Low-Calorie Keto Diet plan. During this stage; you will reach your target weight thanks to a diet combining ProGen products containing high biological value proteins, and a selected list of vegetables.
During this stage, owing to the low intake of carbohydrates and fats, your body will enter into a state of controlled ketosis and start to draw on its energy reserves (fat). This ensures that the weight you lose will be primarily stored fat, preserving your muscle mass.
All this will be accompanied by the Mitochondrial Activation Training Session (MAT). The mitochondria are the cell’s powerhouse. Trillions of mitochondria are distributed throughout our bodies. Depending upon the number of mitochondria and their functionality, our health status and life expectancy are determined. Your 30-minute sessions of specific exercises will functionally activate the existing mitochondria and also generate new mitochondrial cells.
The second stage of treatment is when you adapt to the new situation, and it’s just as important as the first one. During the first stage, your body will adjust to the physiological changes that will stabilize your hormonal system and basal metabolism rate.
According to the results of your genetic test, different types of food will be progressively introduced into your diet to maintain your ideal weight. The diet is adapted to your individual needs and specific energy characteristics. During this stage of the treatment, you can enjoy a broad range of ProGen Lifestyle products, which provide high biological value protein and will help you to consolidate the healthy dietary habits you have acquired.
With ProGen, you can typically start seeing weight loss as early as the first 3 days, with more noticeable results within 15 days. This depends on factors like your adherence to the program, your starting point, and how your body responds. Significant changes usually become evident within 6 to 8 weeks. The program is designed to promote steady and sustainable fat loss while preserving muscle mass, ensuring long-term success. Remember, consistency is crucial in achieving your goals!
With ProGen, especially after three days, you enter ketosis—a state where research shows that fatigue is significantly minimized, keeping you energized throughout your journey.
