Outline of Dave Palumbo's Diet For Cutting

[garcia123]

how do you guys cook your eggs? boiled or scrambled? If scrambled, is it okay to use butter?

[Incinerated]

jeezus thats alot of reading...


Ok my question to anyone who can answer it...

Would taking a cortisol suppressant product (I.E. LX/11 oxo) be enough to downplay cortisol and allow for thermogenics (I.E. the ECY stack) to be beneficial?

[Captain Sagara]

Well, I'm dropping out of this diet.

I was eating my 6 eggs this morning and was grossing out.

I followed the diet yesterday exactly as written. I pretty much knew last night I would not be able to stick with it.

I like protein foods but I can not stomach that much. The PB and Whey shake are delicious but 8 oz of Chicken and 6 eggs sicken me.

Good luck to the rest of you.

It's back to calorie counting for me.

I Lol'ed pretty hard

[apace]

well its good enough for me
As i can live on eggs especially if i can include the Yolk too

[dvsness]

This diet is really easy to follow and straight forward not complicated like other diets .
which supplements are best recommanded with this diet ?
Regarding the subject of coffee ok we should limit to 2 cups a day but in the anabolic diet by Dr. Mauro Dipasquale he says that coffee is a great weapon to burn fat in the absence of Carbs

FIBER!!

how do you guys cook your eggs? boiled or scrambled? If scrambled, is it okay to use butter?

Boiled. Easy to cook in bulk and seperate whites.

And NO.

[garcia123]

I see, what kinda oil should I use then?

Boil! But if you must pan fry, I'd use a non-stick pan and a touch of Smart Balance's spray (similar to Pam).

I scramble it and spray the pan with extra virgin olive oil spray.

In general, or on this diet? Dave advises against stimulants.

Ah, but it is because of the cortisol issue. LX would seem to address that issue.

FWIW, I know people who did the diet with stims (me) and others who used Clen even without adverse effect. Just know your body and what you need to do to achieve the level of leanness required.

Maybe I'm interpreting Dave wrong, because he is a huge advocate of clen on his diet. I know he doesn't think highly of ephedra though.

[Incinerated]

so no one is gonna answer my question?

Damn i hoping to avoid PM'ing the science guru's in the supp. section

I answered it the best I could.

[Captain Sagara]

I do stims,more important on this diet is to follow the diet strictly,the diet itself and cardio...The rest is just being picky IMO...

So what would a women eat on this? Could she use the 200 lbs or less man diet? FOR MY WIFE...

[Farnicus]

Did Palumbo mention anything about his thought on carbing up for the show on this diet?

There is a woman's diet on the MD forums. It has 5 meals that have 35g protein each. Remember, you can and should alter macros for yourself and your needs.

I know he does a fat and carb load for men, and likes to fat load women. I didn't subscribe to that for myself since it doesn't work for me.

[cbs]

but how many times a week, do you do cardio? I do it 3-4 times a week. Low intensity 20-25 minutes per session on a treadmill. Thanks!

[Captain Sagara]

25-35 grams per meal,follow the normal meals just add in 25-35 grams of carbs either from white rice or rice cakes...
It sounds like very small carb amount to carb up,was what i tought but Dave explains that your body has adjust to No Carbs so it's very insulin sensitive,so those few carbs will make the job and you avoid to spill over big time...

[Captain Sagara]

No less then 30 minutes per sessions,then work from there as you need it...

Cardio tends to be longer than that, but if you can get results on little cardio, enjoy your metabolism (yes, jealous). As usual, know your body and what your body responds to best. Low intensity is good for this diet.

[Epihall]

He covers this over on his thread. I think starting Thursday he adds 25 grams of carbs to each meal.

Curious then...how long? I was going to work myself up to 30 minutes. I also weight train for 3-4 days a week too for at least 30 minutes per session. I want to keep my muscle as much as possible. Right now, the only time i get carbs is in my oatmeal for breakfast and after a work-out session. I'm trying to lean out more to get below 10% bodyfat. I was doing a 50/30/20(p/f/c).

If you're having complex carbs,that's is no longer Palumbo's diet...
Dave advocates no less then 30minutes per session on his thread,because you only begin to hit the fat storages after 10-20 minutes depending on the metabolism of each person,so less then 30 minutes is almost useless...

You know, i did hear that years ago, now that you have brought it up. That is why i do at least 20-25. Just so you know, I am not following this diet but was thinking about trying it out sometime. I am looking for a steady decrease of fat, nothing too dramatic, you know? i am making good progress though.

My first mistake was hard boiling all the eggs on day one, didn't realize it was so hard to choke down so many hard boiled eggs with yolks, scrambled them this morning and no problem. Day two half way over, I'm sticking with it.

[-Aaron-]

Anyone use BCAAs on this diet at all?

[Sick]

Doesnt matter how you cook them, personally I like them scrambled. Use PAM spray, or try Crisco Butter flavored cooking spray.

No more then 60 min per session. BTW, cut out the oatmeal.
