I wish protein was much more satiating than fat. I could eat that pound of cod and my body will still want "something". Does it fill the hole? Yes, of course, but does it satiate? Unfortunately not. While on the other hand, I could eat maybe 1/4 of bacon and be completely satiated for that day or maybe even two days. Does the "hole" get empty, yes, and I could eat nothing but protein for several days and not over eat. But then, I have that need for a high fat day. A REALLY high fat day. I've heard that before, that protein is more satiating. Again, I wish this was true. I think the human body is far more diverse and complicated than what we know or can predict.

I'm so happy that I changed from high fat keto/carnivore to this. IT just makes sense. I've been on a 3-week stall. I lift weights about 4 times a week and walk, pus hikes every weekend. I haven't seen the scale move, but my muscles feel strong, and my pants fit better! Granted, I did just start PSMF a few days ago, so we'll see what happens.

After 1 1/2 year on keto I was stalled for 8 months. Started carnivore and for 65 days I went up and down the same 2 kilo's. 4 days ago I started with psmf and today already 1.4 kilo's down. Thank you so much, so thankful I found this channel!

This is what I needed to hear. I couldn't lose anyweight on carnivore...everyone said to eat more fat.. and while I didn't gain any weight thankfully... I never lost a SINGLE POUND. I thought my scale was broken. I cut down the fat for a week and tracked my calories and I got the scale moving. I would prefer not to have to obsessively track calories though.

O. M. G.!!!!! I've been a carnivore for a year, and I managed to lose 50 pounds... which is nice, but I think horribly slow. I tried PSMF a few days ago and it was AMAZING. Wow, I have to agree, I'm not hungry at all, and (so far) the fat is melting off (I want to lose another 60 pounds). Massive thanks to you, Maria!!!!!

no WONDER keto hasn't been working for me these past months! I have a lot of weight to lose....about 120 lbs. Today I am having an ONLY protein day. I am so excited!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

PSMF is a great tool for speeding up fat loss. Thanks everyone and please subscribe and share!

MY GAWD! You two nailed this! It was super succinct, simple, science-based (that's huge), and slashed all the fallacies and confusion. I LOVE you two for laying out all the details...your kids are super-cute too. Thank you for guiding those of us who have struggled with much of the science vs hype. I especially appreciated the short breakdown of autophagy. I'm a big fan of science and y'all slipped that into your presentation, seamlessly. Bravo! Rock-on!

I feel like I found the fountain of youth here or something. I lost 5.8 net lbs this week doing two days of PSMF and one 24 hour fast, eating keto according to your calculator. I did every other day, ending the week not counting my macros/calories the last day, eating as much as I wanted (keto foods) with in a 5/6 hour window. Week two, I'm going to try and find the right meals/recipes I want to have on my fasting days to make it as simple as possible. Thank you so much. I have been blind and closed off to this until now. I wish I had found this years ago, but I guess I just wasn't ready yet.

Great video! I am in a 3 month stall so I need to throw some psmf days into my routine. Both you and Craig have such great skin and muscle tone you really are a true example of what keto does for health and healing.

There is a difference between feeling full and feeling satiated. For me, adding fat ( or eating fattier foods) is what makes food satiating. How to deal with this contradiction is my challenge.

Maria your kids are beautiful❤️🥰 You guys are great parents. I truly respect your channel🌷🌸

Excellent advice...way too many in the low carb clan don’t want to hear this...

So wild how things have changed! We used to think we HAD to eat high fat and that mct oil was great etc Thank you for the info! :)

I made Maria's Protein sparing sweet n sour chicken. I added some zest from an orange. I could not believe I was eating low carb, low fat, low calorie,. Delicious!!!! Thank you Marie.

I don't understand. According to most keto experts, fat is what provides satiety. For me, the combination of animal protein and fat is the utmost in helping me feel satisfied and reducing cravings. I will have to try this and see what happens! 👍💪

Thanks, I’m going to try this. I was Keto/Carnivore for almost 3 years. I went down 50lbs then stopped. I did everything I could the scale wouldn’t move. I felt great and I shrank but I was still 262 lbs. I finally gave up during this covid garbage and I gained it back.

This sounds so much more logical than what you typically hear from keto proponents. I totally agree.

This was a good video, some truth nuggets in there. I lose just as much fat on the days l have high protein fasts as l do on dry/water fasts. I think what’s becoming slowly evident adding more protein is just as if not more needed for the average person than daily fasting is....or at least should be done in that order as you mentioned. Fix protein first and let the body naturally naturally do a daily fast if it wants to. I’m on the same page though - protein every day

WOW! I have adopted a keto lifestyle years ago, and over the years I noticed that my body responded so much better with lower fat and more protein than a traditional Keto diet. Thank you so much for explaining this and I am now doing even more research. I really appreciate the guidance and recipes. I am excited to explore this even more! (I had gastric bypass back in 1999 when the procedure was brand new. At that time there was no follow-up diets or guidelines on how to eat, it was just expected that you eat less. Fat, dairy and sugar also causes dumping syndrome, which feels like I have had morning sickness for 22 years! When I eat higher protein this doesn't happen.)

Cant recalll how I found you but glad I did - thank you!

You had me at big whoop!! Great video and so informative and it explains soooo much!! Thank you

Can’t wait to start this, makes sense and the cookbook is beautiful

Thank you so much for the info. I've been on carnivore 1.5 months now... Advised by many to eat tons of fat. Weight hasn't moved an inch. I was keto before. Going to give this a try. Even though I'm a size 14...and 5'7"...my body fat percentage is 47! Wayyyy too high. I'm also showing fasting glucose as 125-140 in the mornings. Hoping this works ♥

Loved this!! I’ve been stalled for 9 mos and am going to give this a whirl! Thanks so much for all that you do! 💕

I wish I had found this years ago , ty

Great video and excellent advice ❤️!!! Thanks for sharing and lots of blessings to you guys !!! Be Well

please do a video on carnivore diet PSMF. carnivores are SO fat focused, and mentioning keto confuses them. Thanks!

Interesting concept. If I fast for more than 24 hours, I often feel very sick. I'm going to have to delve more deeply into your materials, thank you. I'm not keto-adapted though. I've tried to reduce my carb intake, but I still eat carbs pretty much every day.

Thank you for this video! Makes so much sense!!

PSMF cookbook is my Maria FAVORITE!

I'm learning so much from your videos!

Thank you guys!! ❤

Fabulous information. Thank you both!!

Thank you I don't have to eat or drink more fat byebye oils. Nutrition science just keeps getting better and better and more efficient for weight loss. I have a very low BMR ~1500 and I don't want it to slow down anymore so I'm upping the protein and turning down the fats hope it helps 🙏 I have about 30lbs to lose

Love this!! Thank you 🙏 & love your boys!! They are so cute!!

This is interesting. I think I did this diet accidentally. I’m 5’4 so I always thought while on keto to cut my fat and I loss a ton of weight quickly. My diet was still balanced.

This is awesome! I am going to look into this! I am the one that can't lose the fat - it all makes sense!

You two are awesome, thanks a million 🌟

@Maria Emmerich: Your thoughts on these people that are doing Carnivore for years? Is it really safe?

so excited to try this! Ive been stuck!!!

I've been doing this instinctively. I'm on the carnivore diet and I've had a lot of lectures about 80/20 fat/protein ratios and how I have to increase my fat. But I have a good 30 lbs of usable fat on my frame at the moment and it makes zero sense to me to eat a high fat diet while I have fat to lose. I prefer eating higher protein anyway, so my ratio is about 70/30 protein/fat, zero carbs. Feeling good on it, feeling satiated, currently doing OMAD, though, so it can be difficult to eat all the protein I need in one sitting, but I'm getting at least 100g. My ideal weight is about 120, so I think 100g should be enough. I'm just eating BBBE at the moment.

This was great, thanks!!

Dr Ken berry, says eat fat to loose fat you say eat less to loose fat iam confused 😕

That’s why I wasn’t losing weight with keto-eating too much fat when I already have a lot of it

I have metabolic syndrome and was told that the only way to burn fat was to eat more fat than protein…lest the high protein drive up sugar, thus insulin…thus stalling fat loss..l ill have to try this!

I love my bullet proof coffee ☕️

Fat fasts…you gain it back pretty quick too! What I take away from keto are the low carb recipes and substituting better fats only. Low carb - high protein is so much better. Keto fails are people thinking they can have as many calories as they want as long as they take in all that fat. :p

Thank you so much! Amazing video. I have tried bullet proof homemade coffee MULTIPLE times, I get sick EVERY time. Pain in upper left side under breast. Very uncomfortable. As soon as I eliminate it it goes away. Happens every time if so eat to much fat.

Maria I am so thankfull I stumbled on your channel. Thank you for sharing such important info. How do I figure out how much proteins do I need per day?

Geez. You are amazing. I ran from protein because my glucose kept rising after eating a good bit. I felt great eating it but no weight loss due to all the fat as well. But the glucose rise and ketones gone made me give it up. 50. Female. Lifting weights. Plateaued for a year. 15 to lose

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the information, guys. Much appreciated! One question: Dr Jason Fung mentioned in one his appearances that for weight loss a 36 hrs fast will help prevent loose skin. Is there a way to prevent it on PSMF as well? Best regards!

I make my own bone broth. How to figure out how much protein is in there approximately? I remove the fat that solidifies on top in a fridge.

It took me entirely too long to figure out that was your arm behind him and not someone behind you lol. Also I have been stalled for a year so going to try this. And I’ve started cutting back on coffee just recently which I never thought I would.

Thank you SO much !!! Can you do a video on types of protein and how often you should eat when psmf

“If your body is already high fat you don’t need to eat high fat.” Brilliant!

Is the PSMF meant to replace regular fasting or to be used as the meal plan during the non-fasting window. ie. doing a 16-4 fast and following the PSMF plan during that 4 hour window?

Aloha! I'm new! TY

Love this!

Can't eat a pound and a half of cod? I just ate a pound and a half of tuna while listening to this lol. And I ate 3.5lbs of steak last night and was still hungry... Seriously though, I appreciate the common sense approach to keto and weight loss. I'm so tired of hearing from the insulin police that just think you need to eat hundreds of grams of fat every day. If your problem is too much fat on your body you probably shouldn't be taking in a whole lot of exogenous fat, even if you are low carb.

I've quite enjoyed egg fast in the past, but it's just not cutting it for me anymore. I'm down to 196 from my highest weight of 320 and I've been stuck at 196 for nearly 3 months. I do at least 20 hr IF daily. I've done a week of carnivore and still didn't budge. i think it's time for some PSMF. I sure will miss the cream in my coffee but at least that should save me a few bucks 😅😩

I just purchased the PSMF a few days ago. I have not started yet but after looking at some of the recipes I noticed there were a lot of egg whites used in the recipes. Is it ok to use store bought egg whites in the carton rather than separating eggs? Thank you.

great content

Is it safe to do PSMF daily until you've got rid of surplus stored fat - as long as you're having the suggested 30 gm of fat daily? I'd rather do it that way rather than cycle. 😀

I’ve just made your bread; I’m a Type 2 Diabetic and followed Therapeutic Keto to reverse it with just food but it’s sooo restrictive! LOVE YOUR BREAD!! But was taught moderate protein or it turns to glucose… ARE LEAN DAYS OKAY FOR TYPE 2 diabetics, not for weight loss?? I’d appreciate more info…. Thanks for your work

I agree with most of what you're saying but the part about ingested fat becoming fat stored seems a little problematic to me. Maybe it's just a semantic difference, but the problem is when you're taking in more energy than your body can use, whether in the form of fat or carbohydrates, it's going to get stored. Fat though offers a big does of energy but not a lot of nutrition so on a keto diet if one is in a stall, apart from hormonal differences between men and women, the fat is probably the culprit, so we're on the same page there. I'm mentioning this because for years people have been taught that "fat makes you fat" and carbohydrates were given a pass to a large extent. Fat is much better for our bodies with respect to metabolic issues and hyperinsulinemia and other stuff. I get what you're saying that we've gone overboard on the fat thing, like we did with carbs at one time. I've heard so many positive things about your channel and hoping to learn more from you about PMSF. Your recipes are legendary as well.

What meats do you recommend that are high protein and low fat? I just had some lamb Shoulder smoked with only salt and pepper. The macros on it is 72% fat. Even when I eat carnivore, it seems there is way too much fat in the meat. I have been on a nearly one year stall eating keto/carnivore. I need to try something different.

What if you do fat MCt oil to prevent Alzheimer’s? Low carb Carnivore doing MCt though to keep my brain. 78 years 8-12 mile /day (one jogging). Bought the book. Light weights 3X/week. I do Fast 3 days week not fat.

Hi Maria, I'm interested in trying this for a quick and efficient cut. I feel good on high protein but I fear that based on the results of the calculator protein of 90 grams may just be way too low for me. What are your thoughts on protein intake for more muscled individuals? Would you up the protein at all or just use the Calculator macros as is? Thanks!

I just found your videos (gratefully), and looking forward to your PSMF cookbook. Only days ago discovered info about Histamine overload... turns out symptoms I’ve had for years correlate to having a combination of Leaky Gut, Histamine Overload and possibly SIBO. I did KETO for 2 years (poorly I realize now as I listen to you Maria & Craig). Today, Sunday 5/31, is my 34th day doing Carnivore-ish. No weight loss on either, beyond the initial 25 lbs of water weight released. So question: Can I do PSMF with a low Histamine 7-14 days to recalibrate my system?

Great video

How do you know when you are fat adapted and what do you have to do to get fat adapted? I’ve always been confused with this. Ty

So your calculator returned that I should eat 86g of fat per day and 96g protein. I would have thought a lot less fat and more protein during psmf days?

Why don't you subtract fiber from carbs?

What about protien powder?

Thank you

What do you consider a healthy body fat goal? I'm thinking I would like to be about 25% I'm 50 years old 😊 thank you!

Thank you for the video ! Maria Greg please explain I just went to calculator and gives me 159 gram protein for PSMF days I don’t know why this so high to height for 5.1 68 years senior 195 pounds! How do you eat this amount protein in 2 meals please help ! I do have the Art of fat loss Book ! Thank you ,

Wow I use the calculator for PSMF , thank you for making it available. So I weight 250 and according to the calculator I need 3210 calories, 222 fat, 273 protein and 30 carbs. Is it correct? I can barely eat over 1200 calories a day.

This is probably why all gastric bypass diets are high liquid protein diets.🤷🏻‍♀️

Moby looking great

Awesome info thank you! I've seen books on Amazon for sale and am very interested. Question: I have hashimotos (no meds yet as tsh "normal"), endometriosis stage 4, & SLE 😬 I worry about triggering inflammation (so no red meat, soy, or gluten for me) & estrogen dominance etc - would a modified PSMF be doable and advisable? I see you have a paleo PSMF book - would that be the best one for me? P.s my doctor is not helpful and seems to know nothing or be unwilling to advise. In Canada getting a doctor is almost impossible 😪

Good video

So no dairy ?

Maria, l have a problem, in UK l can't get ingredients, some things that you mention l don't even know what they are. What is a snow cone?? Toast porridge!!!??

So no veggies at all just protein and minimal fat ?

Thank you Maria and Craig! When I did the calculator, it says 73 grams of fat? I thought 30 grams was limit?

Thanks for sharing! Do you suggest any supplements for people who lack sufficient enzymes to break down fat and protein? I believe in this way if eating, my recent labs say enzymes for breaking down short chain fatty acids, fiber and protein are all low which aligns with my digestive issues on this diet. How do you suggest resolving this?

so do protein sparing instead of fasting?

How would someone who gets gout from high protein and fasting be able to get the benefits of this program without the gout.

I don't have a thyroid except for what I get from a T4 only replacement. Does this method work better for someone in my situation?

I've noticed in many of your recipe videos that you depend heavily on egg whites. I am sensitive to them though it's a little bit better when they are hard-cooked like with hard-boiled eggs or in baked goods. My allergist brother said that egg white has two proteins that can trigger difficulties. One denatures with heat and long cooking times; the other doesn't. What do you suggest as a replacement?

I still don't understand how it's done ? 😋 do you eat keto with fat.. then, every other day you eat psmf ? Or it this every day ?

Maria, would sardines (in water or even in olive oil) be good for this type of fast? TY!

Is there a sure fire way to tell when you’re fat adapted? Is it mainly your glucose and ketone numbers? A feeling? I consistently measure 2.0-3.0 mmol/L on my blood ketone strips but I also measure dark purple on urine ketone strips which makes me think 6 months in, I’m maybe still not able to use ketones well and just wasting them. Thanks so much!

Where do I go to get you as one on one Ty

I keep hearing eat more fat for energy … sluggish feeling on keto ??

What you’re saying about weight lose and fat intake makes a lot of sense to me because in my mind it’s logical. However with fat still on the body it makes no sense for the body to use lean muscle mass for anything in my mind it’s not logical. That being said there are only three macro nutrients. So in order to get what the body needs if you reduce one, you have to increase another. I think you’re saying increase the protein and not the fat if fat loss is the goal and don’t worry about the small stuff. I don’t get why you call it a fast when you’re eating protein. Won’t that cause the body to use the dietary protein instead of clearing damaged or older proteins(amino acids)? What do you recommend for maintenance once fat lost is achieved?

Thanks for the video. At 6:50 you mention being dairy free for a reason. Can you elaborate on this? Tks
