I think God graced me with this knowledge when I was looking up fasting on Grok,
But it’s a protein-sparing modified fast…
Basically you only eat lean protein enough for 0.7-1g per lb of body weight and maybe some veggies.
But what this does is it uses the thermic effect of protein plus a severe caloric deficit to lose fat FASTER than fasting alone with no risk of losing muscle.
TLDR restrict your calories to below 1000 and only eat lean protein,
Im going to eat a 500 calorie diet of protein.
There is virtually no risk of losing muscle or being skinny fat because you preserve all your muscle.
