The Psmf Diet or Protein Sparing Modified Fast is a ketosis-based way of eating designed to invoke rapid and significant weight loss in just weeks with minimal exercise.
This modified fast is set up so that your body reaches ketosis or a state in which your body is forced to use your own fat for fuel.
Technically, the PSMF will be ketogenic because a significant amount of body fat will be burned due to a restricted energy intake.
Apart from the very low calories, this diet follows a very important principle that many might be familiar with in our day and time. That little magic trick is called Ketosis and it’s what Protein-Sparing is all about.
