MEAL #4 SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 ? tablespoons of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar added

MEAL #5 "Fatty Protein Meal": 8oz Salmon, Swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, carrots, or red peppers) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Macadamia nut oil and vinegar..

MEAL #6 SHAKE: 50g Whey with 1 ? tablespoon all natural peanut butter or 4 whole (Omega-3) eggs and 4 extra whites..


and another sample: (I use this one)

Usually he charges 150$ for consultations on his website for this diet but these are some samples of his eating plans, A LOT of questions are found on his thread.

I've thought about giving this a try before because I includes basically my 4 favorite foods. Eggs, PB, Beef and Whey lol.

Can someone calculate the macros of this diet?please...
My numbers were about 2200 calories,285 grams of protein and 105 grams of fat,but i'm not sure about the calories on almonds...

Seems to be a version a High protein low carb diet. Its the same stuff around the board he just repackaged it under his name. I don't know the guy, but someone on he board said it last night...Egg whites are a sin in the Keto world

Why is that???really don't know much about keto...

Theres no point in it. Eggs are dense with great stuff the body needs. protein Fat and good cholesterol. why cut it all out eating only the whites. The yolk it was makes the chicken grow, and you too!

the diet requires whole eggs not whites

[baarat]

In the first example, meal# 1 it say's to add 4 additional egg whites.

Yeh it also says 5 whole eggs. Those 4 whites are ADDITIONAL to the 5 whole.

So I started this diet today. I am going to cheat a bit on New Years and Christmas. I'm looking to cut some fat and keep up the strength.

To TheMeat- how have your energy levels been in the gym? Are you going to do any carb days?

When starting the diet your energy levels are kinda low but then as you go on they stabilize and you have enough. With this diet you cant do any carb days except after 2 weeks when you can have your cheat meal. Im trying carb cycling out right now, this diet works very very well if you can stick to it.

I did not lose any strength while on this diet.

The extra whites are for the protein boost only. Its mainly whole eggs though.

It depends what time you workout. It could be 2 pre and 3 post or 3 pre and 4 post.

I hear some people doing this diet with a Fat/protein 2 day and a protein/veggie one day cycle. What do you think of this and what would that diet look like? Basically how many grams of carbs from veggies would you be looking to get on the protein/veggie day per meal?

I really don't wanna mess you up and say something thats wrong so here is his thread in muscular development, you can ask him any question and he responds within a day. Make sure you skim his whole thread from page 1, provides a load of info on his diet.

To the above 2 posts, your energy first starts off low but then levels off, and its back to normal after some days. My metobalism burned off calories like crazy when Im on low low carbs, its like every day my body changed and I lost weight. Plus in the gym my lifts were actually getting stronger believe it or not. I would suggest some creatine and very high quality protein for this diet. Make sure you don't give in to temptation because its very easy to get carried away.

do you think this diet (or variation) would be effective on a cut if i were to get the right amount of calories? i always feel like i am eating too many calories because its so hard to reach my macros with less than 600 calories per meal

For the first few days follow the sample diet. After one week if you feel too hungry, add more food such as a couple more eggs, more chicken, steak, etc.. If your following the diet correctly you should be getting in excess of 210 grams of protein easily per day.

Do you mix the peanut butter into the whey protein, or just eat the PB off the spoon?
