Figured I'd log this, just because I rarely see finished PSMF logs on forums. And it's not surprising, as it's a pretty difficult diet for most to stay on. PSMF stands for "Protein Spared Modified Fast", it's a crash diet that consists almost solely of protein. It's used to get down in weight very quickly, for the morbidly obese, or anyone looking to drop a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
I'm currently taking in roughly 1100-1300 calories a day, I'm being a bit less strict on getting absolute exact numbers simply because it really doesn't matter whether I get 1100 or 1300 calories at my current weight. And I'm not going to obsess over exact numbers and lose motivation when I don't 100% hit them every day. I learned of the diet from Lyle McDonald's forums, and then his book.
I'm 6'3" and currently 369lbs. I started 5 days ago at 379lbs, so I'm already down 10lbs in the first 5 days. As most of you probably known, a bit of it is water weight. My goal for the end of the month is to be down to 349lbs.
I have R.A. that started flaring up when I was 17 (22 now), and that's been a severe hindrance in my life since. I've always been a big guy, but it's really prevented me from doing a lot of things and I've only put on more weight due to it. I'm tired of letting it control my life, however. I plan on moving in a month to Arizona, where I'll finally be able to join an MMA/MT/BJJ gym. It's hard to get the motivation to go to a normal gym due to the R.A., but it'll be less difficult with this. I do have experience training, and there's really nothing I enjoy more. It's partially a reason why I want to drop this 30lbs, so I'm not so out of shape when I start.
After the month I'll switch to a more low carb paleo approach, with some carbs thrown in post-training.
I'll throw today's meals in a reply.
