Super Soldier Program
So I’ve dubbed the PSMF diet the Super Soldier Program. 
“What the holy hell is that?”
Well, my non-geeky reader (Geeks are very familiar with said program), the Super Soldier program is what created the mythical Marvel Superheros “Captain America” and “Wolverine” if I remember correctly (Do you like how I pretended that I don’t know this crap like the back of my hand?) Caps super power (or what it should be when written by writers who pay attention the past) is that he is at the peak of human conditioning. This is currently whats keeping me going on this ridiculous, ridiculous regimen.
Not that PSMF is ridiculous, but give the details to the average person and they will stare at you like you have 3 heads. It’s possible they may stare at you harder than they would if you said you were on Atkins (and we ALL know how hard people stare at that.)
“How does it work?”
Oh, I just completely cut out carbs and fats and eat my body weight in grams of protein supplimented by whey protein, multvitamins, fish oil and fiber tablets.
Yeah, play that over in your head. It SOUNDS nuts.
Hence why I like the term Super Soldier program way more. It sounds like I’m signing up for missions to save the country or something. I have a friend who has actually decided to do this WITH me (I think he liked the “Super Soldier” idea as well.) I assume after watching me drop 15 percent of my body weight in a few months has made him a believer. Plus my ability to rattle off statistics, studies and facts like I was Rain Man.
I won’t lie to you folks, I think I may have unreasonable expectations of the Super Sold…er…PSMF. In my mind, at the end of this I will be 190 pounds and I might, just might be able to jump off of roof tops and fight crime.
“Elon that’s silly.”
I know its silly. But I believe it or better yet, I WANT to believe it. I’m doing weights (nothing crazy) plus I plan to run and bike. I’m really trying to keep as much muscle mass as possible. I’ve heard of people losing 30 pounds in a month. It was most likely a large amount of water weight, but I genuinely want to believe with diet, exercise and a severe enough calorie deficit, all while keeping ketosis and plenty of protein I can do 20 to 25 pounds in a month and a half. Theoretically I should lose AT LEAST 12 pounds in that time. Following the whole 2 pounds a week thing. Going down to 202 would be one of the most amazing things for me I’ve experienced in my life.
But I like to think of myself as someone with logic. If I use Lyle McDonald’s information on calories released from fat, which states that you can have a caloric deficit of 31 calories multiplied by each pound of fat. I can have about 1813.5 deficit per day.
So Pounds of Fat (mine is 58.5) x 31 calories x 7(days of the week) x 6 (weeks I’ll be PSMF) /3500 (calories in a pound of fat) = 21.7 pounds of Fat.
But that’s only if everything went perfectly. Oh, and that I also kept 58.5 pounds of fat at me at all times. When I drop to, lets say, 40 pounds of fat I’d only have the ability to sustain a 1240 calorie deficit.
Remind me once I get thin to never, ever, ever-ever-ever allow myself to gain this much weight. No man should be doing these calculations while just chilling out on a Wednesday afternoon.
