The Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD) and Cancer: What Is the Evidence?

The fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) is a short-term eating plan that creates some of the effects of fasting while still giving the body some calories and important nutrients. The FMD is being studied as a possible therapy to use alongside cancer treatment. Early research shows it may lower some side effects from chemotherapy and help the body respond better to treatment.
