you have pics from that time? I am trying to hit a similar end weight and always wondered what 140ish pounds would look like?PSMF is the ultimate to truly shred
Easiest way of doing it for me was just having plenty of cooked, lean protein available and eating only when I couldn't take it anymore
Mind you, this was the last stage of transitioning from a 320lb fatass to my lowest body weight of 147lbs

The intent of this thread was not about PSMF, it was about leveraging protein higher than energy sources depending on how rapid you want to lose weight, right now I'm on 285 grams of protein, 130 grams of fat and 30 grams of net carbs, im only going this extreme cause i want to get rid of the vacation chub I have put on, weight got up to 223 and in 2 days I'm down to 218. I will do this diet for about a week and then relax some. If I wanted to lose slower I would add more energy into my diet (in the form of carbs). I just leverage the protein to energy ratio. I don't even really stress over calories anymore, I'm on TRT plus right now so no need to eat a shit ton of food for me right now.Bboy, I always thought you were a fan of having a coach and taking a slower more calculated approach? Is this just for a very short period of time or is this for a more sustained contest prep diet?
I like psmf, has worked well in the past but I don't look nearly the same as when I have a coach and go the old school contest prep slow and steady approach.
As a naturally fat guy I have learned my way to stay lean is to make most of my food lean proteins and only occasionally eat carbs/fats in a significant amountThe more protein to energy ratio given toward protein will result in the most rapid fatloss. This is why the Protein Sparing Modified Fast - PSMF diet is the most extreme weighloss diet. You do not have to be that extreme but just know that the higher the protein to energy ratio the more rapid the fat loss. Now a days I do not do a PSMF as I just don't enjoy the diet, but I always keep my protein higher than my carb + fat total, thus losing fat is just too easy now a days and how I stay pretty lean most of the year. I let myself pig out and enjoy myself for a few weeks then dial down the energy ratio and fat melts right off.
Thoughts?
As long as it lean protein your good to go, a PSMF diet is boring as fuck but very effective.As someone who can’t tolerate seafood to save their life, man being able to eat tuna would be so nice, what do you guys suggest for a PSMF?
Lots of dairy, eggs, steak, chicken and veggies? Anything obvious I missed?
Damn your a Spartan! No way I could eat like that day in and day out, I can barely stand chicken breast now.As a naturally fat guy I have learned my way to stay lean is to make most of my food lean proteins and only occasionally eat carbs/fats in a significant amount
This is true on the micro level =
Breakfast ... 10 ounce chicken breast (no carbs no fats)
Lunch ... 10 ounce chicken breast (no carbs no fats)
Dinner ... A normal dinner containing carbs, fats, etc... Still try to keep protein high...
Late night snacks ... Watermelon, sunflower seeds..
Before bed ... 10 ounce chicken breast (no carbs no fats)
^^^ that's my usual daily intake... I don't gain or lose weight, but just maintain
This is also the guy that drinks chocolate milk while cool sculpting so I’m not sure how long he’s been doing this for lolDamn your a Spartan! No way I could eat like that day in and day out, I can barely stand chicken breast now.
You still do KETO B-Boy?Damn your a Spartan! No way I could eat like that day in and day out, I can barely stand chicken breast now.
Yep!!!!You still do KETO B-Boy?
Have you found any ways through seasoning or sauces where any of these meals are consistently enjoyable?As long as it lean protein your good to go, a PSMF diet is boring as fuck but very effective.
Chicken breast
Lean ground turkey
Lean turkey breast
Egg whites
Whey isolate
0 fat Greek yogurt
These are some of the things I eat ^^ after 11 days of this I'm sooooo ready to get off this diet..LOL
Chocolate milk while coolsculpting?This is also the guy that drinks chocolate milk while cool sculpting so I’m not sure how long he’s been doing this for lol
When I'm at home I'll do lean beef egg whites etc but when I'm working I just bring a can of chicken breast for lunch and eat a can of chicken breast in the car on my way. It's not for flavor. It's just protein. I don't get hungry during the day so it's easy.Damn your a Spartan! No way I could eat like that day in and day out, I can barely stand chicken breast now.
I'm not sure what you are referring to but I've been doing this general diet, with rare exceptions, for a decadeThis is also the guy that drinks chocolate milk while cool sculpting so I’m not sure how long he’s been doing this for lol

If so can you give 2-3 examples of your favorite 'meals'?
Guess that’s what I read. Idk man. Kind of just pokin fun at your anyways because I remember you mentioning wanting to do cool sculpting so you didn’t have to dietChocolate milk while coolsculpting?

Yes but you don't have to do a PSMF, you just have to have more protein to energy ratio. The further the ratio is skewed toward protein the more extreme the fat loss.it’s not sustainable; I can’t just eat protein to lose weight; it’s mentally draining and I won’t follow it more than 2-3 weeks.
but I agree; since protein increases thermogenesis and its the hardest to convert to fat; it works.
usually when I crash diet someone for quick fat loss; I increase their protein to 1.5 body weight.. then give them a diet break every 4 weeks to psychologically repair them..
