RAPID FAT LOSS MASTERCLASS: PSMF, FAST FAT LOSS & WHO SHOULD NOT USE AGGRESSIVE DEFICITS FT. DR. MIKKI WILLIDEN | EP. 233

Author: Brandon DaCruz August 10, 2026 Duration: 1:33:06

Most people argue about rapid fat loss like the only variable that matters is speed. It isn’t. The rate of loss is downstream of a decision that gets made long before anyone touches a calorie target: who this is being used with.


On this episode I’m joined by Dr. Mikki Williden to kick off a new collab series where we both answer the same questions independently and let you see the reasoning on both sides.


In this episode we cover:

WHAT A PROTEIN SPARING MODIFIED FAST ACTUALLY IS

THE BENEFITS OF RAPID FAT LOSS

THE POTENTIAL DRAWBACKS OF RAPID FAT LOSS

HOW WE USE THESE STRATEGIES IN PRACTICE WITH CLIENTS

RAPID FAT LOSS DAYS & UNDULATING CALORIE CYCLES

REFEEDS & DEFICIT DELOADS

THE POPULATIONS RAPID FAT LOSS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR


If you’ve ever wondered whether you could get lean faster without losing  your muscle, this episode gives you the honest version: what the research actually supports, where it stops, and why I turn most people away from this approach entirely.

Hosted by Brandon DaCruz, Chasing Clarity: Health & Fitness Podcast cuts through the noise of an often overwhelming industry. Instead of quick fixes, Brandon and his co-host Jeff build conversations from a place of genuine partnership, tackling everything from meal planning and workout splits to the less-discussed mental hurdles of a fitness journey. Their dynamic feels more like a dialogue between friends who’ve been in the trenches, making complex topics in nutrition, training, and body composition feel accessible and actionable. What you’ll find here is a practical blend of solid information and real-world application, designed for anyone who wants to move past confusion and build sustainable habits. This isn't about rigid dogma; it's about finding what actually works for you. Tune into the podcast for honest discussions that aim to replace frustration with understanding, one episode at a time.
