I’ve been implementing Maria and Craig’s style of PSMF now for some months and my health, cravings and stamina have only improved from doing so. I appreciate the ongoing tips and deeper insights that Maria freely shares which serve as a support for my efforts as almost no one in my circle of friends are practicing keto or PSMF. I feel less lonely on this journey from being able to hear and watch Maria and Craig’s insights and examples.

I am so happy to have found you I need to start eating agsin and do your type of fasts and get off my water fast/ detox/cleanse just dont have a keto or carnivore stocked kitchen, pantry, fridge or freezer have plenty of food bank foods stocked everywhere. I am on a survivors benefits low fixed income atm. I am still babystepping off of carbs but plan on doing keto or carnivore soon. I hope so many bills due and property house taxes, etc. I thought calorie restriction was worse than water fasting. I do have some issues yhat keto carnivore can Improve.

[@AnneFallible]

I thank God for yall because I fasted so much last year that now if I see or hear the word Fast I cringe. I would totally give up if metabolic health and weight loss/maintenance meant more fasting. At least with PSMF I don't have to starve myself. Nothing makes me obsess about food more than fasting.Thanks again for providing a healthy, doable alternative to Bulletproof coffee (roll of eyes) and 24, 36, 48, 72 hour fasts. Shudder.

[@ravenswoods177]

Hi Maria, I have been told that water fasting does not cause muscle loss...but not sure that that is correct. I'm sure the body does break down amino acids during that period. The argument is that any muscle lost will be replenished once protein intake returns. I have been wanting to try water fasting, since I have done a psmf before but I trust your advice to ease into fasting of any kind, especially if active.

[@MariaEmmerich]

As you can see, we added studies linked below showing you will lose muscle.

what is the percentages of protein, fat and carbohydrates in a PSMF diet?

[@MariaEmmerich]

We do not go by percentages as there is no real good way to quantify that. Get your macros right and be sure to track. You can do that here for free (PLEASE read the notes at the top of the calculator regarding height, age, protein requirements and body fat % and adjust accordingly until you are within target range)

[@gloriaceresoli314]

Where is the calculator so I can figure out my macros!!?? Thanks

[@MariaEmmerich]

Right here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/ :)

[@astrocross180]

I usually do long fasting day for the reason that I am a diabetic I do not like high sugar spikes and I eat protein salads and green vegetables but I only eat one meal a day I hope that's does not get me sick. cuz it does fill me up but I don't eat like breakfast or lunch at all. and then I eat at 4:00 because if I eat later than that my sugar goes really high even if I eat protein and salads I think I messed up my metabolic system. And thank God I don't need any medication. Although they wanted me to take metformin and I said no way I changed my eating habits took all carbs away from my diet and I dance everyday pretty much that's my exercise and I check my blood with the meter to make sure my sugar is not too high but that's what I do.

[@MariaEmmerich]

I would make sure you are getting in protein macros, as far as your other comment about nuts helping with digestion, I think you would be better off taking a digestive enzyme. :)

[@laelosun]

I calculated my PSMF macros using the assistance of the helpful calculator on your website. I only eat lean red meat and eggs on my PSMF days, though use whole eggs. Is that okay as long as my fat intake is below 30 grams? I heard you mention to eat only egg whites, though I so love whole eggs! Thank you.

[@MariaEmmerich]

It depends on your goals.... if you want to maximize your fat loss, I would skip some of the yolks and save them for a delicious sauce in the future. You can freeze yolks.

[@laelosun]

@@MariaEmmerich Thank you for your insight with this. As I write I'm experimenting with an egg free (lean meat only) PSMF day to see if I shed a bit more weight than when I included the whole eggs. Tweaking this little bit might be just what is required to shed the stubborn 2 kg that keeps me just a bit above my ideal weight.

[@laelosun]

The verdict is in! Eliminating eggs and eating only lean meat for my PSMF day made all the difference! I wasn't at all hungry (as good as the eggs taste, they don't fill me up like equal calories of red meat), I felt and slept better. Shed a pound so am happy.

Hi Maria! So I was able to figure out my day tomorrow so I consume approx 70gr protein, 34fat and 5gr carb...my plan is 3 egg white/sardine/panela cheese omelette, then smoked salmon sprinkled with dill and lime juice, then two slices of organic ham with another oz of panela mixed with boiled chicken bits. Now, I got my gram targets as you suggest but not all my meats are lean such as the salmon...is that ok anyway bcs I still meet the grams?

[@aliciadiaz131]

Also...I have been doing keto for a month...I’m finally starting to understand it...but there are is so much misinfo out there. I never thought I would want to do this long term, I thought it was unhealthy, but I have never been able to last more than a few days without sugar, I was always thinking about food...this is changing how I think about food (or how I just don’t!) and I want to maybe switch to this long term BUT in a healthy way. Which one of your books do you recommend for me to start? I still need to lose about 35 pounds, get my reflux under control. I no longer have issues with energy! I do have constipation since keto (I can’t imagine giving up cheese and cream though? Almond flour?). The rest is just watching for rheumatoid arthritis and heart issues as they run in the family.

And now my menstrual cycle is late and I am losing lots of hair Please advise me

No more than 3 PSMF days per week for accelerating weight loss. Follow your other keto weight loss macros the other days.

I go up and down the same couple lbs when i do. i do not consume alcohol and am a big water drinker as well as tea and coffee. But to to be stuck is getting frustrating.

Awesome!!! Have you seen the new meal plans for those books? mariamindbodyhealth.com/protein-sparing-modified-fast-meal-plans/ 😊💖😊💖😊💖

[@marianking1379]

I do omad, and feel fantastic . No pain!

[@MariaEmmerich]

Awesome!

[@doesnotFempute]

you're right, it is hard to get all the protein in because I'm full. I've been keto for 4 years. I've done intermittent fasting, fat fasts, egg fasts and carnivore. NOTHING has curbed my appetite like PSMF. I'm on day 2 and I feel amazing. My goal was to start adding 2-3 PSMF days per week as I've been stalled for a long time. I think my culprit was cream in my coffee and snacking on cheese or adding just way too much cheese to everything. This is my first couple of days without cheese (besides fasting) for a long time. I've probably been consuming 1000 cal per day just in cheese and cream. it's a wonder I didn't start gaining back. I know calories in vs calories out isn't exactly a perfect science, but eating lots of calories every day is obviously not going to help me lose more fat. I just felt compelled to eat fat whenever I'm hungry.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Ditching the coffee and dairy will definitely help :)

[@wheelofcheese100]

😂 I can totally relate. I keep taking little sips of my heavy creamer. Adds up fast

[@mcreighton1980]

What changes should I make if I don't have a gallbladder?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Here you go: mariamindbodyhealth.com/ketogenic-diets-for-gallbladder-health/

[@hopetogether]

I had my gall bladder removed in April. I began eating keto and carnivore with no digestive issues less than 6 weeks later. I used bile salts initially but I find I don't really need them now.

[@gino3711]

Hello Maria, is there a limit on the amount of protein one should have per meal? Thank you and keep up the good work!!! 😁

[@MariaEmmerich]

I would make sure you hit your protein goal: mariamindbodyhealth.com/new-keto-calculator/

[@dianejones4276]

Sorry, but I just don't understand! Tried the link and got nowhere. How to learn more? I really want to try this. Is it possible to do it wrong?

[@anir8023]

Wow so confusing, so much info, one keto lady says to eat 150-200g of fat and 60g of protein for lady, another says fasting is good but according to cycle

[@MariaEmmerich]

I have been working with clients and do keto for over 20 years. Everything we teach is rooted in science. 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@anir8023]

@@MariaEmmerich thank you !!!

[@tinusunit]

So technically, it’s like the 5:2 diet but with pure protein instead on fast days. Cool I can do this Is it best to do psmf on rest days since only 800 calories?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Yes, probably a good idea.

[@queenmom01]

I have been on the carnivore diet, eating BBB & E lost 13 pounds and now I stalled and it’s been almost 2 months… Gotta do something different or else!!! I have 30 more pounds to lose! Please give me an idea on what to do

[@MariaEmmerich]

BBB&E is often too high fat to sustain consistent weight loss. Get your macros right and be sure to track. You can do that here for free (PLEASE read the notes at the top of the calculator regarding height, age, protein requirements and body fat % and adjust accordingly until you are within target range) mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/

[@Gnsgrashus]

For sweetener, what about erythritol?

[@MariaEmmerich]

I would stick to stevia glycerine on PSMF. Or monk fruit.

[@nancycy9039]

What are you referring to when you say you “do better” eating 2x/day vs OMAD?

[@MariaEmmerich]

I am able to meet my protein goal more easily eating 2-3 meals a day vs OMAD :)

[@sherandrews5475]

Just found you...have had a horrible time with carnivore..hopefully finding u can help

[@MariaEmmerich]

I am here for you! 🙏

[@Beebleish]

My daughter is allergic to dairy. (not just lactose intolerent). She loves the taste of butter. Right now, we use the Smart Balance, which, of course, is vegetable oils. But now I just watched your video on bad oils and how dangerous they are, so can you suggest something we can use instead?

[@MariaEmmerich]

I would try this. :) amzn.to/3vlds7q

[@CM-sf9bc]

I've been trying to find the information , but so far haven't, so... In this, if I stop eating at 6pm and only eating 2x a day. Do I divide the macros between the two meals? Or what happens if I only eat one meal?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Make sure you have correct macros like form here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/ Then read notes at top to confirm protein macro, protein is your only macro goal. As long as you meet your protein and minimum of 30-40 grams of fat a day you can eat 1-3 times a day. :)

[@barbaranelson5177]

I weigh 200 lbs I’m 5’2” and I do keto I have lost weight about 60 lbs but I have been in a stall and I would like to try this but really cannot figure out how much protein to eat, and how long can I do this at a time

[@MariaEmmerich]

Find your macros here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/ Read notes at top to confirm your protein macro. :)

[@cindymcguire442]

I ruined 2 dozen egg whites making bread. What can I do with all the eggs-whites and yolks?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Scramble them, make egg salad, use the yolks for my ice cream, hollandaise, mayo, lemon curd…😋

[@susanriley9135]

I was carnivore for about 8-9 months and did nothing but gain. I became insulin and leptin resistant. I didn’t cut protein and add extra fat till towards the end. I definitely slept better with lower protein and higher fat. I’m going to try this a couple days a week and see how I do.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Many people think that with carnivore they don’t have to track macros and just eat what they want. You still have to track and adjust fat down if weight loss is the goal. :)

[@haileyvanilla8688]

hello can we use sucralose that are in drinks for psmf?like the sparkling pezh ice drink

[@MariaEmmerich]

I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners like sucralose. It is hard on the thyroid. Here are my favorites: mariamindbodyhealth.com/guide-to-natural-sweeteners/

[@kdwestrup]

Is there a psmf food list to choose from?

[@MariaEmmerich]

I have that information in this new book: keto-adapted.com/product/the-art-of-fat-loss/ Thank you!
