What is MPF?
MPF (formerly) WPF stands for More Protein Fasting and is an improved fasting method from our founder Christian Wolf. What is behind it, how it differs from conventional interval fasting and how it works you can learn here.
The optimal amount of protein
So what is the optimal amount of protein? We recommend that you consume 2g of protein per kg of body weight per day to: maintain your muscles, reduce body fat and support your health. Of course we didn't make this up, but follow the recommendations of numerous experts such as Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Layne Norton, Prof. Dr. Stuart Phillips, Dr. Eric Helms.
One MPF example day
So how does the MPF actually work in everyday life and how do you best get started with it?
- determine the optimal protein intake: We remember: 2g of protein per kg of body weight, so multiply your own body weight by 2. We then divide the value by 4: for four servings of protein, two servings of protein in and two outside the eating window. In this way, we have distributed the daily amount of protein among our meals and achieve optimal stimulation.
- determine the meal window: you choose a meal window of six hours, e.g. 10 am to 4 pm or 2 pm to 8 pm. It's up to you to decide when and how you want to eat, because it should fit into your daily routine. When eating, make sure to reach your calculated protein amount. We recommend two large meals and a snack.
- The time without food you bridge with two portions of protein, for example with More Clear, Protein Iced Coffee or Total Protein or the Total Vegan Protein. Pay attention to your calculated protein amount and adjust the portions accordingly.
More Tip: Ensure sufficient hydration during the fasting period, e.g. with Zerup, our sugar- and calorie-free drink syrup!
And here's what a sample day might look like:
- 7 a.m.: 50g More Clear
- 10 a.m.: 45g Protein Iced Coffee
- 2p.m.-8p.m.: Meal Window:
- 2 p.m.: first meal, e.g., a salad or bowl with protein source
- 6 p.m.: Dinner, e.g. pasta, baked vegetables or similar with a protein source
- 7:30 p.m.: dessert, e.g. a quark bowl or protein pudding.
