The Chenot Diet ®

Chenot Diet,
Edible Science

Created by a team of talented chefs and nutritional scientists, the Chenot Diet ® is where haute gastronomy meets cutting-edge science. Informed by decades of ongoing research, it is designed to support the body’s natural detoxification processes and provoke a metabolic and hormonal reset without compromising the pleasure of taste.

A Dietary Intervention Designed to Reset Your Health Wellness

In essence, the Chenot Diet ® is a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) that delivers 850 calories across three meals a day, for a period of seven days. It is a plant-based intervention that activates the body’s fasting mode whilst providing sufficient nourishment and minimising the negative side effects of a traditional fast, such as muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies.

Transition into a Fasting State

Consuming fewer calories than the body needs for maintenance, reduces the available glucose, forcing your body to find alternative energy sources.

Day 1

Increased Fat Utilisation and Ketogenesis

As the available glucose supplies are reduced, the body starts to shift its metabolic processes to breaking down adipose tissue (fat cells). The body enters a state of ketogenesis, a metabolic state that encourages fat burning, preserves lean body mass, and supports cognitive function.

From day 2

Enhanced Autophagy and Cellular Rejuvenation

In this state, the body initiates an enhanced and more efficient rate of autophagy, a cellular cleaning process where old, damaged cell components are broken down and recycled. Autophagy reaches a peak by day 4 improving metabolic efficiency and cellular fitness.

From day 3

Cellular Renewal with Chenot Diet

Once you start refeeding, your body shifts back to using glucose as its primary fuel source. This stage is critical for rebuilding and regenerating new, healthy cells, aided by the growth factors stimulated by nutrient-rich foods.

After day 7

Periodic Detox and Reset with Chenot Diet

The Chenot Diet ® was originally designed as a pivotal intervention in the Chenot Method® as part of our award-winning detox and reset programmes, available at our Chenot Palaces. Our new ‘Detox at Home’ Cookbook enables you to continue your journey towards optimal health with specially formulated recipes that can be woven individually into health lifestyles, or used as a seven-day reset in the comfort of your own home.

Longevity Benefits of the Chenot Diet ®

Dr. George Gaitanos explains the benefits of the Chenot Diet ®, from cleansing the body at the cellular level, reducing inflammation and strengthening the immune system, to producing fresh energy and new cells that keep us biologically young.
