Since my husband passed in February 2018, the world has been anything but ordinary. And without the rhythm I was accustomed to, things began to feel disconnected.
As you can imagine, my low-carb lifestyle took a hit as well. Emotions play a significant role in how our bodies function, especially if one's body is battle-weary.
I met author Maria Emmerich many years ago at a Boise book signing. I have featured many of her books on Everlovin' Low Carb. On a solid foundation of low-carb and keto, Maria consistently offers inspiration for managing the ruts we get stuck in.
PSMF, or a Protein-Sparing Modified Fast, is another tool to keep our bodies on course. I have experienced how too much healthy fat on a low-carb diet can slow progress. According to the back cover of The Protein-Sparing Modified Fast Method, PSMF provides "enough protein to sustain lean mass while keeping fat and carb intake low so that weight loss can be achieved. It's an incredibly effective way to break a stall. It also improves insulin resistance, making your body more efficient at utilizing the energy you take in."
So, here we are, three days past Thanksgiving, and I'm grabbing my survival tools. I test-drove this PSMF plan, and my weight immediately began to drop! With recipes such as Salmon Jerky, Broiled Shrimp with Cilantro Lime Sauce, Protein Sparing Bread, Baked Pork Tenderloins, and Chocolate Breakfast Pudding, boredom is not an option.
