PSMF is aggressive dieting

A protein sparing modified fast keeps you under 800 calories a day for weeks or months. Clinical programs that use it screen patients first, check an ECG and blood work, prescribe supplements, adjust medication, and follow patients closely. Doing it alone skips all of that. I recommend you only start a PSMF under medical supervision.

Stop and get medical help right away if you have chest pain, a racing or irregular heartbeat, fainting, confusion, or severe weakness.

Medications

If you take insulin, other diabetes drugs, blood pressure drugs or diuretics, your doses may need to change before you begin. Changing them without your doctor can cause low blood sugar or low blood pressure.

Calculators

The calculators give estimates from published formulas. They don't know your health history, and their results are not a prescription. Your doctor or dietitian should confirm any target you use.
