Found this interesting.

Explains some fat gain I’ve experienced

This says your protein sources should be low in non-protein energy.
Eat fat to satiety on top of that; I.e fat that doesn’t include protein!

The PSMF portion looks like the most insulinogenic proteins you can find. If you know you are very insulin sensitive you might be able to tolerate a reasonable amount of these protein sources for “cutting”.

Personally, I stay with the foods like those listed in the middle two sections and if I’m having a lean cut of meat, I’ll add extra fat to make it more balanced. I’m still fairly insulin resistant at this point, and I feel “off” if I overindulge in protein.

I’ve lost a ton of weight doing the opposite of this…I live in opposite land.

Like on Seinfeld? Just do the opposite of whatever George would normally do. :laughing:

I don’t favor a way of eating that mostly eliminates dietary energy sources, or promotes the fear of dietary fat.

My first thought was “Dang, ribeyes are bad for weight loss? I love ribeyes.” Then I looked at the chart again. This looks like it is from the perspective of the Protein Sparing Modified Fast in which you severely reduce calories but eat lean protein in an effort to avoid muscle catabolism. It definitely works for some people. But I prefer doing keto feast/fast cycles.

What he was saying was that the more you dilute protein with non-protein energy (low protein foods) the more likely you are to overeat non-protein energy and gain fat.

So you dial the protein:non-protein ratio of your diet to hit your goals! :slight_smile:

This is an interesting idea but doesn’t really take fasting insulin into consideration. So as with a lot of Ted’s ideas lately will probably work well for some people while others eating in the top 2 tiers will have a satiety problem.
