I would hesitate to say its too good to be true. From my understanding of pfsm, you are taking your body to the brink of starvation. This is no picnick, and yes you will drop fat quickly, but you need to understand the chance for rebounding after such a diet is great. your body wont be used to breaking down carbs, and they will need to be added back very slowly. you will also see a drastic drop in energy levels, endurance, and mental clarity. Its not for everyone, and if you have a decent amount of muscle i dont think its the best choice. But if your severely overweight, and can live with those side effects ... the fat loss is unmistakeable.

If I do decide to do pfsm and drop fat quickly, will i be able to take some type of muscle supp to preserve the little muscle I do have? Or even use it in aid to firm up. I did a low carb diet last summer and I lost 30 lbs, but I realize that i did lose muscle as well. I really want a diet that's low carb based because It works for me better than a low fat. Thats why I drink low carb pro shakes. Can anyone give me a sample HST workout given my gender and my body description listed above? One more thing what is the difference between the catabolic diet and pfsm? and which one would you all prefer for me?
