Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, August 31, 2022 4:30 PM There are some crazy crash diets out there. You've got the cabbage diet, where people live (or try to live) off of cabbage soup for weeks at a time. You've got the gelatin diet of the 70s, where people would try to lose weight by eating only gelatin (it didn't work and some people got really, really sick). There are dozens of variations of crash diets, and most of them are unsustainable, unhealthy, and ineffective. There's one that's a little different: the protein sparing modified fast. No less extreme but far more reasonable and effective than the others, the protein sparing modified fast, or PSMF, is an ultra high protein, low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie diet. It's intended to accelerate fat loss and minimize muscle loss. It is not intended to be a long term way of eating, but rather a short term intervention that can springboard a person into greater sustained weight loss and healthy living. Why Do a Protein Sparing Modified Fast? Because "weight loss" doesn't tell you anything. Weight is a non-specific measurement of mass that's comprised of fat, muscle, connective tissue, bone, and water. To "lose weight" can mean you've lost mostly muscle. It can mean you lost a bit of fat and lot of muscle, or a lot of fat and bit of muscle. It can mean reduced bone mineral density. It can mean your tendons and ligaments are losing strength. It can mean you just lost a bunch of water weight. But when the average person wants to "lose weight," they want to lose body fat and keep their muscles. The protein sparing modified fast "spares" protein (muscle) and accelerates fat loss. It aims (and mostly succeeds) at creating the kind of weight loss people are looking for. How Do You Do a Protein Sparing Modified Fast? Emphasize lean protein. Lean protein is the basis of the protein sparing modified fast. In order to be "protein sparing" and accelerate the loss of fat and limit the amount of muscle ams you lose, the PSMF emphasizes high protein intakes. By increasing protein relative to calories, your diet provides the amino acids your body needs to convert to energy instead of your body taking those amino acids from your own muscle tissue. Eat at least 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. If you're lifting weights (which you should be to get the most benefit out of the diet), up that to 2 grams protein per kilogram. I'd actually suggest going as high as 2.6 grams per kg, as a recent study showed that this level of protein intake during aggressive dieting minimized muscle loss. The protective effect of including adequate amino acid intake when dieting is so profound that even infusing starvation patients—people who aren't eating anything at all—with isolated amino acids can stave off the worst of muscle loss. Lean protein sources include: Lean cuts of beef and pork: top round, 95% lean ground beef, filet, loin Chicken and turkey breast Lean white fish: cod, haddock, halibut, tilapia, … Continue reading "What is the Protein Sparing Modified Fast Diet?"
