Of coursh it is if you do things right. It's about 45% complex carbohydrates from starch-poor vegetables and 45% polyunsaturated fats from seeds, nuts and oils with very little protein. It has a similar effect on ketone body production as a water-only diet but you can still eat a reasonable amount of food. That's the neat thing about fasting mimicking diet.

But ketosis not the main goal. The goal is autophagy - Auschwitz mode. You vill lose muscle mass and you vill be happy about it! Well I am not a fan of this Valter Longo guy who came up with this as I'm allergic to self-proclaimed gurus but you gotta acknowledge stuff that works. 

Now tell me more about metabolic pathways, it's quite entertaining!
