I am using a PSMF to lose weight. It stands for Protein Sparing Modified Fast. I am on Lyle McDonald's version called Rapid Fat Loss. (RFL)
He is honestly the nutrition and fitness GOAT and OG of the evidence based industry. I have a hard time listening to anyone else as they all seem to want to sell some BS or they change their videos and opinions based on what is popular week by week. I say this because my question isn't about whether or not to do this diet, I am doing it no matter what. I am doing it because it is the fastest and safest way to get down to a healthy weight.
Here is an awesome video on the diet with Lyle McDonald himself.

I started PSMF/RFL on October 5th and I made it 26 days. Last Saturday I gave myself a free meal which for me is way too early. I need to do 10 weeks straight to reset habits before allowing anything off plan. Each day since then I start off with PSMF/RFL foods, then I end up eating something sugary and tell myself my real restart is tomorrow. I have tomorrowed myself into 1 week of inaction.
Encourage me to start again.
I am male and I started at 257 pounds. 5 feet 7 inches tall. During the 26 days I lost about 2.5 waist inches. Don’t know how much weight I lost as I haven't checked again.
