The Amen Regimen is the result of two decades of rigorous research and systematic self-experimentation. The Protocol has a pentavalent nature, consisting of 5 principal parts: (I) a Fasting component, (II) a dietetic component, (III) an exercise component, (IV) an informational/educational component, and (V) a psycho-ascetic/meditative component. Essential elements of the Regimen include the following:

- A daily, diurnal Fast, 23 hours in duration, wherein no calorie-containing foods or beverages are partaken [Incipient Amen Adherents may initially fast for 21 hours/day]
- An aerobic exercise session executed in the morning; a resistance exercise session executed in the evening
- A single nocturnal meal not exceeding an hour in duration [for Inveterate Amenites]
- Intellectual assimilation of the extensive information and practical principles that undergird the Regimen
- Intervals of Amenistic Meditation interspersed at opportune junctures throughout the day
Defining features of the Amen Diet are the following:
- Calorically restricted, with a mean caloric content of roughly 1500 [range 1000-1750 kilocalories, with muscular males and particularly active persons warranting relatively greater intakes to meet energy demands]
- Thoroughly vegetal, devoid of meat
- Low in glycotoxins (i.e. advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) produced by the chemical combination of simple sugars and proteins both inside and outside the body)
- Antioxidant rich, adequate in essential micronutrients (i.e. minerals and vitamins)
- Inclusive of select supplemental or nutraceutical agents known to exert inhibitory effects on the aging process and/or age-related diseases
