Outline of Dave Palumbo's Diet for cutting

[NICKPA]

Awww, I love those comments. Just best to ignore them and continue what you are doing.

I get comments like "how are you getting all your nutrients when not eating fruits and veggies"

"Milk is good for you blah blah blah"

I tend just laugh and tell them to kick rocks cause they don't undstand.

Baby weight lol excuses are like ashholes...

This diet looks exactly what i need ! Im 245 pounds so im guessin i need to wrk with the diet plan for 250lbs + ... So does tht mean for meal 2 i dont get the choice of almonds or walnuts it can only be almonds? And for my high protien fatty meal am i only restricted to eatin salmon ? Can i not alternate it with other protien meats ??? Thanks for the info!

sorry to pester ppl but no one has given me a reply lol , am startin this diet on monday and im gettin my shoppin in later , jus need to kno if im allowed to get sum diffrent lean protiens insted of havin salmon every day ?

also another question is it really important to have my cheat meal on the same day at the same time every week ? i will alwes have it on the weekend and be jus havin the one cheat meal but might b saturday for 2 week , then mabey sunday the week after would tht slow down or affect the diet in any way ?

once again thanks for any info any one can give me ?

Yes you can vary the meats, salmon is fatty so don't replace with a lean one

taken from Dave Q&A:
for lean protein: "chicken (or Turkey, or Tuna, or tilapia, flounder, or cod)"

for fatty protein meal: "Salmon, Swordfish, or 8oz RED MEAT"

I'm sure having the cheat meal 1 day earlier or later will be fine

Thanks for the reply mate much appriciated , i jus wasnt sure if i was on the 250lbs version of the diet i was restricted to follow exactly wat tht diet was sayin cos it didnt give more optiona like it did with the 200pound diet ...thanks anyway

Need some help here, the only Natural Peanut Butter i can find has 3g of sugar in 2 Tbsp.

Is this ok or should i continue using olive oil in my whey shakes?

[outofshapeguy]

Strong noob here but how exactly does Keto help with fat loss vs cutting carbs and a 500 cal deficit? It's all about cals in and cals out right? But I hear you guys say being in ketosis will burn fat first instead of carbs for energy so is that just like the fats you eat or it actually burns bodyfat? and in keto you cant eat any carbs at all?

yep,

fat is the energy, and ketones in your body uses body fat to energize the body which in turn burns off fat.

i keep having nightmares about eating carbs before my cheat meal... its really uncomfortable lol

there is no difference cals in vs. cals out still applies to keto. 500cal deficit will yield similar results in term of fat loss if your doing keto and or doing a higher carb diet with adequate fats and protein.

nice you moving ahead, im just waiting till tomorrow to see if i am finally 239 i have a strange thought that i may need 2 weeks again but ill see what happens this week. ive been in the 240's since feb >_> lol

also what does the size on do?

[wisconsin9erfan]

For the people that can't really stomach eggs, what have you been replacing the egg meal with?

Also anyone have any experience with the fat burner Musclepharm Shred Matrix?

[t-350z]

do u have to wait 2 weeks for youre first cheat meal or just 1 week?

[TankZjr]

do u have to wait 2 weeks for youre first cheat meal or just 1 week?

by what i was reading some ppl do 2 weeks to be "safe" others do it in the first week without problems.. I was kindah in the middle since my cheat meal is on a sunday but i started the diet on a friday so I had a week and those three extra days.. the first cheat meal I went up 9lb's the next day, lost all of that plus 1lb for that week, this week i went up 4lb in the cheat so i'll see how this week goes


by the way, I was hearing a guy at the gym talking about keto so i went in and had a convo about this diet and they told me that Mayo isn't really allowed in keto.. my fatty meal is essentially tuna with mayo so im wondering what's so bad about it lol

I'm only using the sizeon as a friend gave it away for free, I'm not sure if it's that beneficial but it gives me an extra 10g of protein and stops me from being hungry during my workouts, lol.

Good luck with the weigh in, keep focused and you will hit your goal no doubt.
The great thing about this diet is even when you don't lose significant weight you can still see big changes in the mirror.

I've waited 2 weeks both times, it's a small price to pay.

[OGn]

i am overjoyed i am 239 today even though it took a bit longer but a the same time i am happy non the less.

and i did some tests, it isnt the diet that was making me stall cause ive changed it around 4 times, i figured instead that it was the cheat meal, that for some reason the clean complex cheat meal doesnt help me and actually causes more bloat.... so, i will be doing dirty to the max cheats from now on, cause the complex carb cheats dont seem to do anything to me.

Nothing wrong with sugar lol, and why wouldn't you be able to use olive oil in your whey shakes?

You're not eating strictly keto, and following the guidelines set for you by Dave, I wouldn't see why mayo wouldn't be allowed, especially if it makes the diet tolerable for you, specifically. I do the same thing, but take into account the allotted calories/fat from the cashews and supplement the protein by adding a slight amount of tuna.

For example:
Mayo(tbsp) -> 90 cals & 10g fat
cashews (1 serving = 1oz) -> 160 cals & 26g fat+18g carbs+5g protein

That being said, tuna should not be your fatty meal (assuming you're not adding a 1/2 jar of mayo for 8oz of tuna).

I make it my fatty meal by adding 2 tbsp's of mayo which comes out to 20g fat and 33g protein for 1 can

i dont eat the almonds with he fatty meal though i usually just throw in some lettuce and make a mini tuna salad
