I do follow your vegan macro guidelines and I'm doing well. Thank you. My question is more for knowledge

because I've never heard of this. Protein sparing modified fasting two days per week to start fat loss

and without losing muscle mass and also used as a maintenance tool to keep at your goal weight.

It's a low calorie, protein 150 grams, carbs less than 30 grams,

and fats 30 grams. I'm told it's harder for vegan to get this amount of protein and still keep

the carbs and fats at 30 grams. Your thoughts, please and thank you. Okay, so first of all, my thoughts on the whole

protein sparing, modified fasting, total and utter shite.

Sorry, you did ask for it, and I'm always going to just be honest with you, but genuinely,

Anne-Marie, I believe that these kinds of diets are made up by people who are very bored

or have nothing better to do with their time or are trying to think of

fun and interesting ways to entertain themselves because there is one way that somebody

loses body fat or keeps their body fat low and that is is eating less than they burn off. And that's the

bottom line. Now, are there outliers, are there caveats? Are there women with endometriosis with

PCOS? Women in menopause, women who store more fat around their belly, women whose hormones

are all out of whack. Yes, yes, yes, yes. There's lots and lots and lots of different edge cases

as to why the calories in,

calories outbalance is not applicable. But at the end of the day, if you are suffering from endometriosis or PCOS or you are menopausal and therefore your body is diverting more energy away

from fat store and into your belly to create more estrogen, a bigger form of estrogen,

it doesn't matter whether you are on

the keto diet, the fucking carb-free diet, the Atkins diet, the protein sparing, modified fasting diet.

It doesn't matter, right? None of it matters. If your body is insulin resistant, then it's

insulin resistant. And it will be resistant to every type of diet.
