The Protein-Sparing Modified Fast Method

Looking to accelerate your weight loss or break out of the diet plateau without losing lean mass?  Bestselling authors Maria and Craig Emmerich bring the solution to you in their new book, The Protein-Sparing Modified Fast Method.

A Protein-Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) is a tool designed to kick-start rapid weight loss by minimizing carbs and fat while supplying the body with adequate protein. This approach mimics the rapid weight loss benefits of fasting while preventing the loss of lean mass. Essentially, you "spare" your body's protein (your muscle) while rapidly losing weight. PSMF leverages the protein-to-energy (P:E) ratio of foods to induce fast fat loss. It’s an extremely effective way to improve insulin sensitivity and break stalls.

In The Protein-Sparing Modified Fast Method, bestselling authors and low-carb advocates Craig and Maria Emmerich give you the science to support this method, along with recipes that are incredibly satiating even though they are very low in energy. You will be amazed at how good they taste, too! The book offers over 120 recipes from comforting breakfast dishes to family dinners to snacks and sweet treats, covering a broad range of global flavors. They are as quick and easy to prepare as they are satisfying.

Sample recipes include:

• Soufflé Omelet with Ham and Chives
• French Toast Porridge
• Steak and Eggs
• Dutch Baby Apple Pancakes
• Basil Shrimp Ceviche
• Grilled Pork Chops with Truffle Mustard
