ouch that is cold. SO whats this diet you are starting dare i ask?
It's a modified version of a protein sparing modified fast (PSMF). If you research it, it's basically a *gem* the medical community conjured up to make people lose the most amount of fat in the least amount of time, while negating one of the biggest downsides of 'starvation type' dieting.... that being muscle catabolism.
The modification comes per Lyle McDonald.... the best nutrition author out there right now in my mind.
It's probably the simplest diet ever. One of the toughest too. The last thing I'd want is everyone here running out and doing it b/c a) it can screw with your head and there are a lot of teeny boppers running around here already with borderline eating-disorders if you ask me and b) if you don't do things right, there's a real chance for a nasty rebound in weight gain.
But back to it being simple.....
Basically the docs said, the only thing someone really *needs* to eat in order to stay alive and healthy is essential nutrients (amino acids, EFAs, water, micronutrients (veggies)). Beyond that, you don't need much.
Really it's just eating 1.5-2 grams of lean protein per pound of lean bodies mass, veggies, and omega 3 fats.
So for me, my diet will look something like 4 meals per day. Each meal will have a handful of fish oil capsules, some fibrous veggies, and enough lean protein to total about 83 grams per meal (65ish grams per meal if I eat 5 meals per day).
That comes to roughly 1400 calories, not including the veggies. I'm actually lucky that I'm carrying around all the muscle I am. Small women I know who do this diet on occasion who aren't carrying that sort of muscle only eat around 400-500 calories per day!
Basically I'll be eating a ton of fish, chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, egg whites, protein powder, fish oil caps (10 per day), broccoli, celery, spinach, peppers, mushrooms, cucumbers, lettuce, asparagus, green beans, etc.
Boring, ya.
But it will get the job done quickly, which I'm looking for. Plus, I like screwing around with stuff like this.
Probably more than you were asking for.... but it's good for me to think it out on paper now since I've only been thinking about fishing the last couple of days and when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'm going to have to figure out what I'm doing.
Oh yea, and this will only last for 2 weeks or so. Anything more and too much 'bad stuff' would happen metabolically.
