I am considering the protein sparing modified fast,but before i start I have a few questions.Firstly,do all my calories come from proteins alone? Um...doesn't the term 'protein-sparing' mean little to _no_ protein? Um... No. Then I'm confused. Clearly. 'Sparing' essentially means 'not' or 'little'. If I'm 'sparing the rod', I'm 'not' physically disciplining my child. If I'm eating 'sparingly' of fat, I'm eating 'little' fat. So it would follow that 'protein-sparing' means sparing protein Meaning not losing it during the diet. - not eating it or eating sparingly of it. But hey - exceptions and oxymorons are rampant in the English language anyway, so I guess it makes sense, g. -- Will Brink http://www.brinkzone.com/ http://musclebuildingnutrition.com/ http://www.aboutsupplements.com/ |

PSMF-Protein Sparing Modified Fast question!?!
Lyle McDonald wrote in message ...
You can do a PSMF with food just as easaily as with shakes. Probably better in a sense b/c the food will have vitamins and minerals that the shakes might not. So Lyle,tell me this,if i were to eat about 700-800 calories of chicken breast,tuna,or any other source of protein only from food,some high fiber veggies,it would be ok,just as if i'm doing the shake fast,but with more minerals/vitamins? I'd also be taking multivitamins daily,some pottasium and magnesium supplement,sugar free fiber supplement,and fish oil caps for EFA's.I'd also be medically supervised while doing this with bloodtests,electrolyte tests,etc.... weekly or bi-weekly. So will using this approach for about 5 months be ok if i can handle it? I'm about 250 pounds,5'10 male,25 years of age.I had already lost 64 pounds the last year following a keto diet,but i want something quicker to enjoy my summer and move on to start concentrating on building muscle. |

What about Medifast,or HMR,I hear they are similar. HMR is similar to Opti-fast.
