I like psmf but why not have say 2 eating events a day it’s not that hard to get the required protein in those 2 eating windows, I would not thing we want chronic glucose events throughout the day obviously it’s not a carb spike but why raise our glucose with high protein 4 times a day versus 1 or 2 the muscles will still get the protein and your limiting glucose spikes
1.Why alcohol? Your pancreas makes it. And drinking it weakens pancreas and dehydrates/ages the brain. See Dr Amen's research.
2. Protein is made of amino acids which are broken down and reassembled in the liver. All foods are composed of amino acids. See Dr Zach Bush research

No watermelon 🍉 ?
This is the first of your videos that I watched. Trying to learn a little bit about this type of diet. I was curious, though I didn’t see that you ate any vegetables, but you have a garden?
I've just binge watched about 8 of your videos. Thank you for all the info. I feel like there's hope for me, following your advice.
Thank you! I love your fridge! My goal is to get our life so simplified. Noted that you do not change how much protein you are eating on off days from your PSMFing days. Cool
Lift weights just eating protein won’t make muscle and can raise blood sugar I’ve experienced it personally !
Why do I get constipated on psmf?
Dr Karl, I am sorry but you look very old and weathered. Where are your fruits and vegetables? sorry, you arent eating well at all.
Where are your vegetables???
What about fruits and veggies?
That bread is called cloud bread ☁️
Are you able to eat the chicken breast with lettuce and lime juice to make an almost “salad”? Lol
I've made many iterations of egg white protein bread and can't fathom eating it plain. I can't even eat them smothered with butter, etc.!
Love and light
Wow ! You are a great teacher ! Thanks for the information.
What do you need a garden for, then? 🤔 food for chickens, maybe?
Would gelatin or collagen be included in our total protein count?…since it's not a complete protein?
Can I eat extra lean ground beef on psmf? 93% lean?
So funny that fat lady missed the bus!
I guess i have lots to throw out of my fridge since i am a diabetic. Dr mcdougal swears we are carnovores, but it does not work for me
Hello there. Are you suppose to count calories or fat while doing the 30 grams protein every 4 hrs? Im 5'5 female and goal weight is 120
Very helpful! No organ meats? No ghee? Tallow? Pork? Thanks!
You didn’t say how much fat on your off days that you need to take in
This was helpful but i wonder if on your psmf days, how you eat the egg white bread. Ive heard that it tasted like cardboard. It seems like it would be dry
Hi Karl..great biedo..do yiu eqt any veggirs
Happy I have found you, as there are so many so called experts on keto/carnivore diet but almost all recipes contain dairy, and I get that because when there would be a healthy dairy diet I would be on it, but I can't as my weight will creep up and my inflammation will be through the roof and even if I use a little, it is my trigger food so I can't moderate it.
