In this week’s podcast episode, we dive into the hot topic of protein sparing modified fasting (PSMF) and why short, strategic “3-day sprints” can be a powerful metabolic reset. I share how I’ve been using these brief hypocaloric phases to help accelerate body fat loss while supporting anti-inflammatory processes and increasing autophagy, the body’s natural cellular cleanup system.
By using this exact approach, I was able to successfully lose 18 pounds and just seven weeks well most importantly, retaining lean body mass and improving metabolic function along with mental health.
The literature consistently shows that most diets fail long term, with weight regain common within five years, and often much sooner with more aggressive interventions like GLP-1 medications or surgical approaches. In this conversation we explore who may benefit from protein sparing fasts, who should avoid them, where supplements fit in and how to implement this strategy. We also discuss research on autophagy.
Check out my top supplements to support your PSMF as you swipe along with a my fitness pal snapshot of how this all comes together 💪
