> I’m not any sort of expert but that sounds frankly, dangerous. I don’t see how you do something like that without damaging your liver.

I haven’t seen any credible research that a healthy person can damage their liver from excessive protein intake. Someone suffering from liver disease needs to be careful, sure, but evidence that it would harm a healthy liver is practically nonexistent.

That said, PSMF is explicitly not a sustainable diet and proponents generally don’t claim it to be. It’s a short term diet meant to preserve muscle mass under extreme caloric restriction (under 1.2k calories).

If it were as simple as that, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

It pretty much is that simple. The problem is that simple is not easy.
