PSMF-Protein Sparing Modified Fast question!?!
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? Do i have to make sure i get zero carbs and zero fats? or is a little bit of fat ok? and how much? As i understand,i can only get 600-800 calories daily on this diet.Is it ok to get them from lean meats, or do i have to do the shakes? I also hear that using this approach will yield about 2/3lbs fat loss daily.Is this correct? Is excercise essential when following such a regimen? or optional...and how much should i do? Before I start this regimen,i will make an appointment with my doctor and make sure that I be medically supervised for the entire time(blood checkups,electrolyte checkups,etc...) to make sure everything is going smoothly. And i also understand i will need potassium,magenesium supplements,and also about 4-5g of salt daily+some sort of sugar-free fiber supplement.But how long is it safe to stay on this diet for? After I get to my goal weight,is it advisable to go onto maintenace using a low-carb diet approach?I have been on low-carb before and I don't mind it at all,I actually didn't get annoyed or felt sick(and please don't tell me why did i stop,I just want to try the PSMF because it's a more aggresive fat-loss regimen). Is there anything else I should know that I maybe have missed to address? Please I don't want anyone telling me i won't learn anything using this diet,or give me another healthier approach,etc...I just came here to get some answers and not a lecture.I don't mean to sound mean,but sometimes i get annoyed when posting questions then people waste your time with something that you didn't even want to hear.Your feedback will be greatly appreciated,thanks. By the way,I am 5"10, 250 pounds, 25 years of age |

Sorry. You are going to get a lecture in hopes that you will learn something from it. But I doubt it. Your attitude is "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with facts." We deal only in facts here. Start an exercise program and eat moderate amounts of a wide variety of high-fiber low fat foods.

PSMF-Protein Sparing Modified Fast question!?!
You would have to reduce your intake by 7000 calories per day to lose 2
pounds in a day. Make that 10,500 to lose 3 pounds per day. That is just out of the realm of possibility unless you are eating 20,000 calories per day, which is also very unlikely. Eating so little, 600-800 calories per day is just plain NOT good for your heart either. Eat 10x your current weight, and safely lose 2-3 pounds per week (depending on your current weight and how much you have to lose) Why not make permenant sensble changes in your eating and in your exercise habits? People who do such drastic low calorie type "diets" almost ALWAYS gain back what they lose and more. You have to do something forever. Melissa 140/132/125 "Mack" wrote in message om...

PSMF-Protein Sparing Modified Fast question!?!
Thanks Harold for that information.I just have a few
questions.Firstly,I checked the opti-fast website and there are no clinics in my area or anywhere close,i live in Canada.Anyways,how would I be able to find a doctor who I can see regarding this? What method should i use finding one? Also,since the opti-fast shakes are so expensive,do you know of any other alternatives that are just as effective? What about Medifast,or HMR,I hear they are similar. For excercise,can I do half hour cardio per day,and weight lift for half hour like 5 times a week,or is that too much? Thanks again Harold for all that info.Greatly appreciated. |
