| Protein Sparing Modified Fast |
* |
* |
| Fasting is the quickest possible way to lose weight. However, there are safe and unsafe ways to fast. Some patients with certain medical problems should not use fasting programs of any type. Further, they should be used for individuals requiring at least 15 pounds (Modified Fast) to 30 pounds (Nutrifast) of weight loss or more. We will be happy to provide additional information if you have questions regarding either of the fasting programs. As the name suggests, the Protein Sparing Modified Fast eating plan was modified from a total fast in which no food was permitted, to one that includes enough high quality protein to maximize fat loss and minimize the loss of muscle tissue. Protein may be eaten in the form of either small portions of lean meat, fish and poultry, or as a high quality protein formula or drink. |
Although it is a major departure from normal eating, most patients experience little hunger after the first few days of a
Modified Fast. This program will appeal to the person who wishes to minimize food decisions and preparation, but
prefers to eat real food versus protein supplements. Small portions of lean meat, fish, or poultry provide daily protein.
A few salad items are included for variety and texture. You may occasionally substitute a protein supplement for added
flavor and convenience. In addition to water, you may have low calorie beverages including coffee, tea and sugar-free
soft drinks. You will also need a daily vitamin and mineral supplement, which we will supply. The Modified Fast may
safely be used until the goal weight is reached, or as a quick jump start (average 14 pounds in the first month) before
switching to an Advanced Program or an Exchange Program. People who follow the Modified Fast maintain good
energy levels and generally feel well.
