Other than the "Geez, this is a boring diet" factor, how are you feeling?



Wondering where to start? Confused? This will get you started.

I feel pretty good so far. I had complained about sore joints last weekend, but I think that was more of a function of trying to make up for lost gym time and get back to where I used to be too quickly

The lower volume associated with PSMF has helped. My knees and elbows are starting to feel better. ( Also, the re-education on the going to failure articles have helped )

The only down side is I seem to be suffering from is cold hands. I keep the house at 18 degrees and am usually warm but my hands are often cold. I read that this is normal though and indicates that I am in deficit.

I am down a belt loop and will soon be comfortably back to my "skinny belt".

I have a canoe trip planned for the first week of July. My plan was to PSMF for 4-6 weeks to drop a bunch of fat then to use the next 4-6 weeks to stabalize my diet at a maintenance level and work on over all conditioning as we have between 3-6km of portaging and 30-40 km of paddling depending on the route we take. With the progress I think that I am making on the PSMF so far, I don't know if I will need to run this for the full 6 weeks to get me where I want to be

Yeah, the cold hands part is pretty normal. Nice that you'll be ahead of schedule for your cut!

Impressive, you actually managed to fit in stuff like cottage cheese and tuna on the refeed

The first refeed I ever did on my PSMF I almost threw up from all of the food and I still missed my target carb levels by like almost 80-100g.

What worked for me yesterday was that I had my Tuna and CC around 1:30 and didn't start the refeed until about 7:00 pm at the restaurant. I was so hungry everything went down pretty well. By midnight when the refeed was ending I was pretty bloated. It took me a bit to fall asleep

How long do you plan to continue to PSMF?

I was planning a 6 week stint so I am at the half way mark. So if things keep progressing the way they are, I should drop another 9 lbs which would put me at 173 lbs then when I move to a maintenance plan I will put on a few pounds due to water and glycogen.

I am thinking my first stab at maint will be about 2400 cals, 270 P 110 C and 98 F. There will be some trial and error.

Wow 6 weeks is quite the stint at PMSF.

Did you consider maybe breaking it up with a week at maint?

I might re-evaluate at 4 weeks, but right now I am feeling like I am in a bit of groove. My lifting is still going well and I have been increasing weight so I was thinking that if I stall or notice a strength loss I may end it early.

I had originally planned the 6 week PSMF run so that it would give me 6 weeks at maint prior to a canoe trip I am taking this summer.

Either way good work. I have tried PSMF previously and the thought of being at 3 weeks continuously scare me
