Thank you Craig for clarifying. So many on UA-cam advocating high fat carnivore for fast loss & it doesn’t work. At least for a lot of people. Makes total sense that if you have body fat to lose you need more protein to maintain muscles & less fat so that your body can access your own fat stores.
Fasting makes me obsess over food, whereas PSMF eating is easy and satisfying. I'm slowing trimming 300-500g of fat from my weight each week, which, after years of watching it climb in the opposite direction, is so satisfying. Thanks for the great info!
PSMF is the only weight loss tool that works for me and I feel great. Maria is a genius in keeping the food recipes delicious. Thank you so much Craig for all your work and explanation of how our wonderful bodies work.
Thank you so much for clarifying. If you are in maintenance, then you do well with increased fat intake. If you are not in maintenance & have weight to lose, increasing fat will cause weight gain. This is what happened to me. I did not hear any of the butter people caution of this possibility.
Much prefer PSMF than fasting! Love the recipes and the information you guys put out. It seems like you have really upped the instagram and UA-cam posts and I am loving it! Especially some of Maria’s more personnel videos about struggles. Thank you, both for all you do!
Hello Maria, Crieg just mentioned that he had Lyme disease autoimmune issues. PLEASE look up vids "Michelle Slater dry fasting Lyme disease. She went to Russia under doctors supervision and dry fasted for 8 & 9 days and healed her lyme. Dry Fasting is very common in russia. The doctor she went to has been dry fasting patients for 20+ years and other health issues with great success. he wrote a book (cant remember his name but Michelle mentions his name in most vids). he also has a clinic in Spain. he has a site (sorry cant remember that channel name) where people post their 9 day fast daily diary experience. Maybe this will help your husband. take care@@MariaEmmerich
I have been doing PSMF for past two weeks. 4 days PSMF and rest of the week feasting. I do follow your Calculator’s macros. I love it! Thank you so much for providing an awesome information. Keep up the great work and helping others.
Dr Berry saved my life, following his proper human diet I’ve reversed diabetes, no autoimmune issues,no more ibs, down 55lb ,previously I couldn’t get out of bed on my own now I can walk 8 miles a day , BUT not changing anything I was eating I stalled then started putting a few pounds on ,so I found you guys , I’ve already lost the 5lb I put on , i really think it’s just the evolution of listening to our own bodies and now I need to drop my fat because I’m not the weight I once was, I’m also surprised on my protein days I’m actually more full so thank you x
Thank you for this video! I too follow this doctor's social media channels and look up to him, but I have gotten so confused from all of this conflicting info considering that he advocates to eat all of the fatty red meat you can eat until you're comfortably stuffed, which didn't work for me. I did this exactly and got to my ideal body weight but then slowly gained 20lbs by eating as much as I could last year. Apparently, I can easily over eat on keto and carnivore. I'm on my second week doing PSMF and it's definitely easier than doing an extended fast. I did lose a pound after my first week so I'm pretty psyched to keep going.
I love your informative videos. I have tried other “Keto Dr.s” suggestions, and only the PSFM make sense to me. Your program , your macros, your advice is solid and it works. I would rather do PSFM instead of fasting, so much easier and I don’t feel deprived.
PSMF is so effective, and it's so much better than water fasting. Such an informative video - loved seeing all the macros of the animals. So informative. Thank you Craig and Maria!! You are the best.
I just want to say that the one thing that keeps me following your channel aside from your nutritional wisdom, is that you NEVER bash or call-out other people by name. I have recently unsubscribed to so many channels, because I find it so distracting and inappropriate to listen to people who sometimes are more interested in putting other people down than they are explaining their own recommendation. Keep up the great work--- you both have a gift to teach; and I appreciate that you sort through all the science and present it in an easy to understand way. You've convinced me to try PSMF♥
I prefer that they make reference to the information they are critiquing so I can investigate and come to my own conclusions. As opposed to just blindly following one string of information. One doesn't need to bash info or a person in order to promote critical thinking.
high fat ketovore worked great for me for a few years. But as my set point got lower, my body just loves to cling to the fat. My cortisol is high from my cr@ppy sleep schedule. Just comes with the territory of being a working mom. But the high cortisol made me SOOO hungry that I just couldn't fast anymore, not even OMAD. It was painful to try. I love PSMF because it's fasting but with food lol
So well explained, thanks! In many carnivore groups the advice is at least 200 g of fat, eat sticks of butter. The gurus that are proponents of overeating on fat wouldn't gain weight even if they were on SAD, but for the most ppl it is not the case and eating almost 2000 kcals of fat a day is a sure way to gaining weight even if carbs are low. Another nonsense they have been parroting around is saying that ppl are eating too much protein. Well, it is really not that easy to overeat on protein. I'd rather stick to advice and research and many years of work and experience of doc's like Ted Naiman, Bill Campbell, Lyle Mcdonald and you and Maria.
There is so much misinformation across social media. I was super confused for a long time. I bought one of Maria's PSMF books and took the time to read ALL the information in the beginning of the cookbook. I even highlighted parts! I now understand PSMF and I am excited to use it properly and not often. I'm only wanting to lose last 5 pds.
Thanks Craig for the information. I love listening to lots of information and this is great clarification. I have started experimenting with psmf days and love it.
Thank you for all that you do. Your books have helped me get healthy and lose weight. Then.....I heard that butter was going to balance hormones and help me lose more weight......I am 61, with 40lbs to lose, and have now proven to myself that too much butter/fat in my diet makes me fat. I have 5 of your books, one of which is "The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse". I am back on track, getting the butter under control, and for now doing one PSMF day per week. I feel great!!!!! Thank you!
I don't know why people complain about it either. If you eat alternate days, you eat your same calories and protein amounts one day and then don't eat for 36 hours. If you do PSMF, you are almost eating the same amount as the one day just doing it in two. Some of those people eat two or three pounds of meat a day on top of the fat. I can't do that. I struggle with hitting my calories and can't eat the PSMF bread. Too bad because it is good.
We generally say 1-3 days a week for PSMF days. More than that we only recommend for someone with a lot of weight to lose (over 100 pounds or so). And if doing 4 days a week every week, make sure to add overfeeding days each week too. :)
@@craigemmerich I have an additional 15lb fat to lose, but I do eat higher far carnivore on the 3 days off. That "eat butter" info got me in a bad way and totally messed up, lost most of my muscles( I'm 63 ) The psmf finally made sense and I'm feeling great. Thanks for all you and Maria do for us!
@@christyconatser2680 Yes, those low protein, high fat, eat a stick of butter a day recommendations are especially harmful to people over 50-55. As we get older we need even more protein just to maintain.Thanks! :)
@@bles4618 I could probably put something like that together. I am usually so busy with work, homeschooling, etc that eating just happens and I dont' think of recording it. Lately I am having a fillet mignon and 3-4 eggs for breakfast. Then 2 burgers (1/3 pound or so) with cheese, onion and mushrooms for lunch/dinner (cooked in tallow). Then typically a snack of pork rinds with cheese and carnivore crisps in evening. Somewhere around 170 gram protein (I'm about 5'5" and 140 pounds) and maybe 150g fat (2100 calories). Something like that. But I am not very active due to my Ankylosing Spondylitis pain (and have lost a lot of muscle due to the AS). :)
I hoarded pork belly sliced into bacon strips, butter, chuck roast, medium ground beef, eggs... Because of the high fat carnivore. I have lost all MSK symptoms and GERD. But I need to lose weight/belly, so I'm incorporating PSMF. Thank you. I'm taking 2 tspns blackstrap molasses as a treat with electrolytes and minerals that help with sleep, restless legs, muscle cramps and bowels. Total carbs under 15g.
There's actually a sardine fast. Usually they do it for 3 to 5 days at I think 2 cans a day or more if you want. I did it for 4 days, 4 cans a day and honestly I felt better in that short time than I have been for years. Idk if it's supposed to help with chronic pain and whatnot, but it sure helped mine enough to give me a few decent days. I'm definitely going to be attempting carnivore soon. I'm tired of being sick, feeling like I'm dying every day
Yes! I tell my husband that these Keto people are crazy when they say animals in the first human diet were high fat. Lamb and Cows for example are domesticated animals. All animals from original man were quite lean, and it is proven they ate plants, and even used plants as medicine. The reason why people have a difficult time with plants is because they have damaged their bodies to such an unhealthy state, so it can't appropriately digest and have changed their intestinal enzymes. Fat has very little nutrition, so if you eat a typical 80/20 keto diet, you deprive yourself of the truly body healing that occurs from the amino acids, found only in meat , poultry and fish. As a former vegan, I personally discovered how detrimental plant protein is. Even if you are able to get enough protein, this has to be modified in some way and is ultimately going to make you sick. The importance of protein is the most important macro....when you add fat or carbs in any form (a veg is a carb).....that is a source of energy. Again...fats and carbs are only energy. Fat is important to absorb the nutrients found in protein; however, too much fat, is energy. You just need enough for energy if you truly want to burn the existing fat on your body. I am so thankful you posted this video....❤❤❤
Craig, can you tell us why protein substrates are only talked about to make glucose through gluconeogenesis when several substrates can be used, including some obtained from fat stores. Is it quality over quantity or simply a matter of efficiency?
Yes, glycerol from the breakdown of fat can be used to make glucose too. But it is a pretty small amount compared to the body's daily needs. In the study linked in the description (which I included a full pdf copy) it shows that in the first 2-3 days of water fasting they lost 1 1/3 pounds lean mass per day. Then it went down to like 1/3 pound per day after that. That is due to them eating the standard American diet before the fast meaning it took 2-3 days to switch to burn fat as fuel (keto adapt). So you can assume that someone starting the fast keto would lose 1/3 pound lean mass per day.
To not get kickback on this popular doctors group, I call it my lean fat days. No one has lost their 🤯 yet when I say PSMF...however i think you're correct, they don't understand. I also keep driving the point, protein makes lean body mass, fat makes fat. Keep spreading the truth.
Yes. But if you look at the bodies proteins, muscle is the easiest to sacrifice. Your body is replacing tons of skin every day and not having enough is a problem. You don’t want to take any protein from organs or bones. Losing a little from muscle is the least detrimental.
I think PSMF may be what I need.... I've been doing some form of Atkins, Keto, Low Carb, Carnivore since 2007 and I was never been able to lose all the weight I needed because I have constantly been loading the fats because that is what everyone says to do... add fat, add fat, buy fatty meats, eat butter, use cream etc etc. I just kept going, "Trust the process." everyone says... but I have struggled for the past 13 years losing and gaining the same few pounds when i still need to lose like 60 pounds! Ughhhh.... if this works for me, I am just going to break down and cry.
PSMF is definitely an excellent tool you can use 1-3 days a week to help accelerate your results when significant weight loss is the goal. But just following proper macros and avoiding all the bad advice with all the sticks of butter, fatty meat, etc will help you out. I have tons of resources, coaching support, packages, macros and more at KetoMaria.com🙏
@@hacoogan Heather, I use ground turkey breast, patted out thin and fried in a non stick pan sprayed with duck fat when I want "bread," It is great spread with mashed avocado (not for PSMF) or used as the base for a pizza.
Just started on Sunday and down 3 lbs with 2 more days to go. Amazing. Unfortunately I listened to the carnivores and ate way too much fat and calories. UGH. I feel great!!!!!!
Great informative video. I lost 25kg on my first keto HFLC IF diet and most of my muscle too, people thought I was wasting away. I'm now up to 97kg, and health issues returned. My goal is 84kg but have been hesitant to go keto again. I was always conscious that eating excessive protein would just be. Stored as glucose and I would stall. Thank you I'm now set to try your recommended macro to achieve my ideal weight.
I know this is an older video, and Im late to this. BUT, everyone should watch the show ALONE!!! That show 100% proves this information. The cast was desperately trying to survive and last the longest on fish, rabbit and squirrel and lost too much weight and had to be pulled out, time and time again. But the ones that kept what little body fat left and stayed the longest was the ones that caught and ate the fatty animals.
Yes, but even in that case, many animals like squirrels, rabbits, etc are still quite lean. That is all we are pointing out in this video, that it is not unheard of to have lean protein in nature.
Your not mentioning carbs. I’m one that don’t need to eat much fat. I’m 20 to 25 lbs fat overweight. So as you say I need 125 G protein and less fat and I’m thinking low if any carbs ? I’m trying to understand. But is this 125 G protein daily or per meal ?
Hi Craig, a question. When you talk about rabbit starvation you say that it happens when you're "not having a lot of energy on your own body". What do you mean? 10% bodyfat? 15% bodyfat? 20% bodyfat? I'm a man at 25% bodyfat and i was wondering if PSMF could be an option in my case. Thanks.
As a male with your % body fat you could do some PSMF to accelerate your results. But do not exceed 2-3 days PSMF per week, and if you should add in a maintenance macro day (add 400-600 additional calories in fat to your weight loss keto macros, not carbs) to help keep the metabolism guessing :)
@@MariaEmmerich Hi Maria. As i train with weights what about adding some carbs as fruit (... INSTEAD OF FAT) just in the evening the days of workouts? It seems that Ted Naiman recommends some carbs in the diet especially if you do some weight training.
I run 6+ miles a day, plus I hike, kayak, paddleboard, and more and I never do carb ups. We love Ted, but we definitely have opposing views about carbs.ua-cam.com/video/FGuw4axhM0c/v-deo.html
@@MariaEmmerich Maria, i just don't understand why you're answering with a video on "chasing ketones". For what i know Ted Naiman would absolutely agree about the opinion that you don't want to chase ketones.
Currently undertaking a PSMF cycle as we speak. I'm making sure I get enough electrolytes and supplements so I do not experience the dreaded brain fog. I'm following Lyle McDonald's PSMF calculator and it puts me around 660 calories.
Use our calculator here (just be sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator regarding body fat%, height and protein needs) mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
I have 95 lbs to lose I have done many fast but wind up binging later. How many days a week should someone incorporate PSMF days per week in my situation and is there a specific book of yours you'd recommend for someone just starting this. Also my PCOS is horrible right now.
Limit PSMF to 2-3 days per week, and follow your fat loss keto macros the other days. You will LOVE my Ultimate Fat Loss Cookbook! keto-adapted.com/product/the-ultimate-fat-loss-cookbook/
PSMF is a fasting tool you can incorporate into your well formulated ketogenic or carnivore diet 1-3 days a week when large amounts of fat loss is a goal. It is not to be done exclusively or in maintenance or when less than 10-15 pounds of fat loss is needed.
@@christieanderson1330 k. I'd love for someone to scrounge up enough itty bitty wild eggs and make a psmf bread. Without a kitchen aid. Over a wood fire. No bread pans or dutch ovens either b/c you can't find those in the wild. You can never win with the natural argument but I appreciate and understand the sentiment. It's a pain to make butter, I do it all the time. But it's still a "natural" byproduct, isn't it? Like egg whites?
Hi! My goals are to get back down below 10% bodyfat. I was very lean a few months ago but lost discipline in the gym and the kitchen. I want to get back to lean as soon as possible, because I don't enjoy being in a deficit. I have chosen pea protein over ore complete proteins because this is the cheapest option. I bought 5 pounds for only $25!@@MariaEmmerich
I would just focus on proper macros and weight training to build lean mass as you lose fat. You'll know once you've achieved a physique you are happy with. It's pretty incredible what transformations can be achieved especially when people focus less on the number on the scale and more with their body composition: www.insider.com/photos-women-look-different-same-weight-2018-3
I don't do well counting and measuring. But your calculator says I need just over 1,000 kcal per day, 70 g protein. So maybe I can just eat cod and shrimps on PSMF and keep it simple. I only need to lose 10 stubborn and annoying pounds. I also have SIBO/IBS, my gut bloats with food, even when I'm essentially carnivore... So it's probably all the fat I was eating! Lol. Now I understand how the bulletproof coffee perpetuated my weight gain from less than 10% body fat to 30%.
What is your height? The minimum daily protein requirement for a 5ft tall women is 80g, so your protein is too low. Be sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
Macros are based on individual circumstances. You can figure out your macros free right here (just be sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator): mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/ Remember that fat is a limit, not a goal. It is used as a lever depending on your goals. Dial up for maintenance, dial down for weight loss :)
That's okay! It is just a tool that can be utilized to speed up results. I have plenty of clients who are able to lose the weight and keep it off without ever doing PSMF :)
Craig, you are AMAZING ❤❤❤

In the study linked in the description (which I included a full pdf copy) it shows that in the first 2-3 days of water fasting they lost 1 1/3 pounds lean mass per day. Then it went down to like 1/3 pound per day after that. That is due to them eating the standard American diet before the fast meaning it took 2-3 days to switch to burn fat as fuel (keto adapt). So you can assume that someone starting the fast keto would lose 1/3 pound lean mass per day.
Great talk thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
To not get kickback on this popular doctors group, I call it my lean fat days. No one has lost their 🤯 yet when I say PSMF...however i think you're correct, they don't understand. I also keep driving the point, protein makes lean body mass, fat makes fat. Keep spreading the truth.
Good idea! Yes, the term has gotten a bad name for some reason.
"...fat makes fat"...ok
@@keekeejenkins6162 Yes, it can.
Great explanation.
Which one of the Emmerich books would you recommend for learning the science of carnivore?
This one: keto-adapted.com/product/carnivore-ebook/
What video / which doctors video prompted this response? I would like to listen to it for myself.
There are proteins in the body that are not muscle correct?
Yes. But if you look at the bodies proteins, muscle is the easiest to sacrifice. Your body is replacing tons of skin every day and not having enough is a problem. You don’t want to take any protein from organs or bones. Losing a little from muscle is the least detrimental.
I think PSMF may be what I need.... I've been doing some form of Atkins, Keto, Low Carb, Carnivore since 2007 and I was never been able to lose all the weight I needed because I have constantly been loading the fats because that is what everyone says to do... add fat, add fat, buy fatty meats, eat butter, use cream etc etc. I just kept going, "Trust the process." everyone says... but I have struggled for the past 13 years losing and gaining the same few pounds when i still need to lose like 60 pounds! Ughhhh.... if this works for me, I am just going to break down and cry.
PSMF is definitely an excellent tool you can use 1-3 days a week to help accelerate your results when significant weight loss is the goal. But just following proper macros and avoiding all the bad advice with all the sticks of butter, fatty meat, etc will help you out. I have tons of resources, coaching support, packages, macros and more at KetoMaria.com🙏
Is there any options for PMF bread. I am allergic to egg whites. I bloat up and have stomach issues when I eat them or the bread.
For the bread, not really. But we have lots of PSMF recipe without egg whites. :)
@@craigemmerich Thanks, I love the option of bread but I guess it is out. I love your recipes. I will try it.
@@hacoogan Heather, I use ground turkey breast, patted out thin and fried in a non stick pan sprayed with duck fat when I want "bread," It is great spread with mashed avocado (not for PSMF) or used as the base for a pizza.
Just started on Sunday and down 3 lbs with 2 more days to go. Amazing. Unfortunately I listened to the carnivores and ate way too much fat and calories. UGH. I feel great!!!!!!
Way to go!
Are you guys eating keto or carnivore? I have been keto on and off, but need to get more strict. Thanks.
Maria eats keto. I eat mostly carnivore due to my AS.
Great informative video. I lost 25kg on my first keto HFLC IF diet and most of my muscle too, people thought I was wasting away. I'm now up to 97kg, and health issues returned. My goal is 84kg but have been hesitant to go keto again. I was always conscious that eating excessive protein would just be. Stored as glucose and I would stall. Thank you I'm now set to try your recommended macro to achieve my ideal weight.
You've got this!
I know this is an older video, and Im late to this. BUT, everyone should watch the show ALONE!!! That show 100% proves this information. The cast was desperately trying to survive and last the longest on fish, rabbit and squirrel and lost too much weight and had to be pulled out, time and time again. But the ones that kept what little body fat left and stayed the longest was the ones that caught and ate the fatty animals.
Yes 🙌
To get the most nutrition from game, you focus on brain, eyeballs, organs and bone marrow first, then muscle meat afterwards.
Yes, but even in that case, many animals like squirrels, rabbits, etc are still quite lean. That is all we are pointing out in this video, that it is not unheard of to have lean protein in nature.
Most wild caught animals are very lean
Fish is actually closer to 400 cals sometimes less raw weight
Your not mentioning carbs. I’m one that don’t need to eat much fat. I’m 20 to 25 lbs fat overweight. So as you say I need 125 G protein and less fat and I’m thinking low if any carbs ? I’m trying to understand. But is this 125 G protein daily or per meal ?
Keep carbs at or under 20g total per day :)
Hi Craig, a question.
When you talk about rabbit starvation you say that it happens when you're "not having a lot of energy on your own body". What do you mean? 10% bodyfat? 15% bodyfat? 20% bodyfat? I'm a man at 25% bodyfat and i was wondering if PSMF could be an option in my case. Thanks.
As a male with your % body fat you could do some PSMF to accelerate your results. But do not exceed 2-3 days PSMF per week, and if you should add in a maintenance macro day (add 400-600 additional calories in fat to your weight loss keto macros, not carbs) to help keep the metabolism guessing :)
@@MariaEmmerich Hi Maria. As i train with weights what about adding some carbs as fruit (... INSTEAD OF FAT) just in the evening the days of workouts? It seems that Ted Naiman recommends some carbs in the diet especially if you do some weight training.
I run 6+ miles a day, plus I hike, kayak, paddleboard, and more and I never do carb ups. We love Ted, but we definitely have opposing views about carbs.ua-cam.com/video/FGuw4axhM0c/v-deo.html
@@MariaEmmerich Maria, i just don't understand why you're answering with a video on "chasing ketones". For what i know Ted Naiman would absolutely agree about the opinion that you don't want to chase ketones.
Currently undertaking a PSMF cycle as we speak. I'm making sure I get enough electrolytes and supplements so I do not experience the dreaded brain fog. I'm following Lyle McDonald's PSMF calculator and it puts me around 660 calories.

I have 95 lbs to lose I have done many fast but wind up binging later. How many days a week should someone incorporate PSMF days per week in my situation and is there a specific book of yours you'd recommend for someone just starting this. Also my PCOS is horrible right now.
Limit PSMF to 2-3 days per week, and follow your fat loss keto macros the other days. You will LOVE my Ultimate Fat Loss Cookbook! keto-adapted.com/product/the-ultimate-fat-loss-cookbook/
It works
I watched again today. Yes wild animals are lean.
So shouldn't be intermittent psmf(IPSMF)?
PSMF is a fasting tool you can incorporate into your well formulated ketogenic or carnivore diet 1-3 days a week when large amounts of fat loss is a goal. It is not to be done exclusively or in maintenance or when less than 10-15 pounds of fat loss is needed.
I agree with Craig. Also, you can't find sticks of butter in the wild.
Exactly!
I mean yeah but you don't find egg white powder in the wild either...worst analogy that people love to use.
@@keekeejenkins6162 but do find eggs and can just use the whites
@@christieanderson1330 k. I'd love for someone to scrounge up enough itty bitty wild eggs and make a psmf bread. Without a kitchen aid. Over a wood fire. No bread pans or dutch ovens either b/c you can't find those in the wild. You can never win with the natural argument but I appreciate and understand the sentiment. It's a pain to make butter, I do it all the time. But it's still a "natural" byproduct, isn't it? Like egg whites?
@@keekeejenkins6162 you don't have to do what Craig and Maria recommends, go follow another Channel. They're trying to help people lose fat.
I’m drinking only pea protein isolate at 90% protein by calories. I’m around 17% body fat and cutting. Am I going to get sick of rabbit starvation?
What are your goals? What are your macros? Is there a reason you are choosing pea protein over a complete protein like beef protein isolate? :)
Hi! My goals are to get back down below 10% bodyfat. I was very lean a few months ago but lost discipline in the gym and the kitchen. I want to get back to lean as soon as possible, because I don't enjoy being in a deficit. I have chosen pea protein over ore complete proteins because this is the cheapest option. I bought 5 pounds for only $25!@@MariaEmmerich
Are you a competitive athlete of some kind? Are you male or female? That is a very low body fat % to try to maintain long term 🙏
@@MariaEmmerich I am a male, and no, I’m not a competitive athlete. I just want to look good.
I would just focus on proper macros and weight training to build lean mass as you lose fat. You'll know once you've achieved a physique you are happy with. It's pretty incredible what transformations can be achieved especially when people focus less on the number on the scale and more with their body composition: www.insider.com/photos-women-look-different-same-weight-2018-3
I don't do well counting and measuring. But your calculator says I need just over 1,000 kcal per day, 70 g protein. So maybe I can just eat cod and shrimps on PSMF and keep it simple. I only need to lose 10 stubborn and annoying pounds. I also have SIBO/IBS, my gut bloats with food, even when I'm essentially carnivore... So it's probably all the fat I was eating! Lol.
Now I understand how the bulletproof coffee perpetuated my weight gain from less than 10% body fat to 30%.
What is your height? The minimum daily protein requirement for a 5ft tall women is 80g, so your protein is too low. Be sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
@@MariaEmmerich I'm just under 5 ft.
I would shoot for at least 80g protein in your case. 85-90g would be better.
@@MariaEmmerich okay! I started today. No more blackstrap molasses too. :) Thank you.
This was perfectly explained when I watched a video about the real story is so much worse about Moby Dick. Ask a mortician.
How much fat on a non Psmf day?
40garm
50?

Remember that fat is a limit, not a goal. It is used as a lever depending on your goals. Dial up for maintenance, dial down for weight loss :)

Hi
Hello 👋
PSMF was way too hard and I had to quit. I do better with 25-50% energy deficit, at least 100g protein
That's okay! It is just a tool that can be utilized to speed up results. I have plenty of clients who are able to lose the weight and keep it off without ever doing PSMF :)
