Outline of Dave Palumbo's Diet for cutting

[wisconsin9erfan]

What protein powders are people using now? I need to re-order a low card protein powder soon and not sure what I want to get. I see Scivation changed their product? Is it better? Worse? I like Nature's Best Isopure but it is just too expensive. Just want to see if there are any new products out there I should try. Thanks in advance.

Heres something I was confused on (will rep)

If you start on a Monday and want to have your cheat meal on Sunday, do you have a cheat meal on your first Sunday, or forgo it because you will have only been in keto briefly as it takes a few days to enter keto?

hope that makes sense.

I'm gonna hop back on this diet. I had tremendous results with it in the past - then I went to grad school and basically destroyed my body. A couple nagging injuries have forced me to totally change my approach to lifting. However I've graduated, been doing what I can for the past couple months, and am ready to get my diet together and drop a couple dress sizes.

I don't think it really matters man - how long are you going to be on this diet for, 6-12 weeks? What is a day or two going to matter? Don't overthink it.

Quick question - is it OK to mix/match the meals? Im sure it is because its the same calories at the end of the day.

In other words, is there any reason why I shouldn't mix my eggs with the 8oz of beef (fatty meal)?...for example

Thanks

You can move meals around if you want but I would follow it as its. 3 shake meals, and 3 other meals beings eggs, lean meat + nuts/almonds, and fatty meat (salmon/beef) with salad or green veggie.

instead of 3 shakes you could do two and replace one with say eggs/egg whites and just work cals out so they are similar.

I use Scivation Chocolate. It is better than before, actually. Best protein out there, IMO! I am a customer for life.

Yeah thats what I will probably get. Just noticed it has 4g carbs per serving where before it only had 1g carb per serving I believe. Minus the 1g of fiber it will only be 3g so not a big deal I guess. Thanks for the reply.

[outofshapeguy]

i have some questions about this diet:

1)how much does 8oz of ground beef and chicken weight after its cooked?

2)there is no mention of training. i train about 5 days a week and do cario twice a week. how many days a week should i do cardio?

3)i workout late at night(8pm). is there any recommended eating schedule? since i wake up at 6 i can eat all of the meals easily before 7pm which would leave me with nothing post-workout or anything before bed. any tips?

thanks

After so long I'm now down to 225lbs but I feel i platued. Can anyone suggest if I should continue the 250lb diet? Or adjust to the 200lb diet. I don't want to lose muscle and I do rigorous cardio due to hockey.

Hi Guys,

Just want some insight into what would be the best approach to diet and nutrition during the month of Ramadan (for those that don’t know, Ramadan is a month where Muslims fast from the hours of sunrise to sunset – no water or food allowed in this time). The way it falls where I am, this means that I will be fasting from 3.20AM to 9.20PM, therefore my opportunity to pack as much nutrition in is only 6 hours.

At the current moment I am following DP’s keto diet (200lbs plan) – I am currently in week 6 of the diet and I have made steady progress. Ramadan starts on 20th July 2012 – that gives me another 4/5 weeks of following this diet.

After thinking about the best way to proceed during the month of fasting I have decided to maintain the principles of keto. In the 6 hour window I have to eat I will attempt to get 4 meals in – each meal consisting of;

Protein – 75g
Fat – 30g
Carbs – 5g

So my total intake will be P = 300g, F = 120g, C = 20g

I just want to throw this out there really and ask what you guys would do if you had to fast for a month. Do you foresee any issues with this approach?

Maybe some of you guys have fasted before and have a keto style approach?

Lets discuss!!!

shameless bump. measly reps for experianced critisism.

kinda lost...ill be doing this for 11/12 weeks for a pre contest cut

q1. cheat meal is this not to be mistaken for a carb up? if so how does a cheat day work for a 180lbs type? i know a keto carb up should be 710c 75f 150p but what is it for a cheat day? honestly i feel bad if i smash the diet all week then on sat night i go out and grab a pizza to me that is counter productive to a weight loss program.

q1.1. if a cheat meal is needed at m8 on say a sat for this to work what is expected? cheat(maccas) then bed? or cheat(maccas) 3 hours shake bed?

q2. can i add an extra meal on? im up at 7 and go to bed at 12 so 6 meals gets me to around 10. could i add in another shake & pb?

q3.this ones more towards contest prep. do i just run this all the way to the night before my comp? or do i stop and do my gly dep 7 days out?

sorry in advance if these q have been answered already but i did a quick search..was

weigh your beef after its cooked, depending on quality of the meat it will weigh different after its cooked so cooked weight is best.

train as you normly would 6 to 8 reps works well with this diet, no cardio until you stop loosing fat then add 30 mins after your weights daily

and dont eat as soon as you wake at 6am, but 6 meals every 3 hours should get you too bed time, save your shake and pb meal until after your 8pm workout

have one cheat meal at night once a week, i eat all i can in a 4 hour time frame and still loose 2lbs per week

only have the 6 meals as per page 1 and run this diet all the way up too your show 2 days out start a slow carb up, keep salting your food and drop water intake 12 hours before show

[Strik9]

Does this diet still work just fine if you have not been doing any physical activity? (I havent been able to get to the gym or do any cardio the last couple of weeks)


I've noticed that the weight does come off, just gradually. You really have to stick to this plan for several weeks before you will see big changes, but I know that it does work.

Its strange though, on this diet - I appear to be losing weight, but I still have a 'soft' look - meaning, I seem to be retaining water weight more so on this then other no carb diets. thoughts on this?

you asked the question the answered it your self

weigh meat before cooked or look at total meat weight raw, cook it and then weigh again and divide into portions.

[seriouslifter]

you guys realize the people that are saying follow exactly the diet consisting of 3 protein shakes and along with 3 meats/eggs are wrong. all you need is high protein/high fat and minus 20g carbs. I only have 1 scoop of whey now and replaced it with other meats.

[ctakacs]

Well guys,

Been doing great on the diet but the bag of dried fruit in my cabinet got to me last night...didn't pig out, but i had my fair share...am I screwed?

[ctakacs]

Also, if I have a night of drinking, white spirits and sugar/carb free mixers, am I to count that as a cheat?

[OtisBDriftwood]

yes

[ctakacs]

yes

Even if I stick to the diet, besides the alcohol?

[xais0r]

After having my cheat meal, two times, the day after my weight didn't change. Is that possible? Does that mean I'm not doing the diet right or my cheal meal isn't right? The last cheat meal I ate 5pizzes of pizza, 3 doughnuts, 2 cheesburgers form mcdonalds and ice cream.

[ctakacs]

Can I roll in my drinking and cheat night into one? This weekend my line up is either Aldean concert or POOL PARTY at MGM Grand, and I dont dare go sober to either event. lol

I kow I asked this before, but as long as im consuming white spirits and sugar/carb free mixers, is tha considered "cheating"? I want to drink, but I also dont want to give up m nachos/wings/burgers/ and TCBY this week!

unless you are in contest prep, just drink and enjoy life on your cheat day.

Awesome, thank you!

Another question for STE or anyone on this diet for a while/multiple times...

Have any of you tried to carb up ONLY prior to workout and PWO? Get some lean gains going, pump up the muscle a little, and then continue the diet as is after that? (provided you work out in the mornings) Any advanages/disadvantages to this?

I wouldnt do it on the palumbo diet as it would kick you out of ketosis. You may want to check out the scivation diet solution. its very similar to this but you have carbs PWO only plus two servings of fruit per day. http://scivationbooks.com/dietsolution.htm

[Goon44]

I'm back on this bitch - Gonna keep it clean and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle this time around!

[Falmer1946]

Hi guys i'm on dave's diet from monday 9. Macros were about 250-270 protein (protein from nuts and greens included), 90 grams of fat, under 30 grams of carbs.
I was on ketosis the third day, i knew because i recognized the smell of my body on keto.
This is my diet, but i tried to variate:
- 4 whole farm eggs + 150 ml egg whites + 5 gr coconut oil
- 220 gr lean raw veal or chicken/turkey breast + 200 gr spinach + 10 ml evoo
- 30 gr pro (whey hydro)
- 350 ml egg whites + 30 gr almond butter + some cocoa powder
- 300 gr codfish or 220 veal + 100 gr lettuce + 10 ml evoo
- 50 gr of casein + 30 gr almond/macadamia/pistachios

My hungry is under control. I use fiber supplement ( 15 gr of net fiber). Myfitnesspal said that i consume 1991 calls, 272p-86f-29c, yesterday.

Sometimes i used prewo N.O. Explode without getting out from ketosis. Today i started with a low doses of fat loss product.

Do i continue in this way? or reduce something?
Tomorrow evening can I reefed with a large banana shake (4 bananas), plenty white potatoes and chestnut flour?

[Goon44]

Hi guys

-Macros look great.
-Be careful with that NO Explode though 6g per meal is fine. Just space it right and you'll be fine.
-Eat as many carbs as you want 2 hour window. 500g carb maximum.
