Outline of Dave Palumbo's Diet For Cutting

[island.dude]

add more egg whites to meal 1
add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the shakes to make 2 tablespoons
No way you should be having 60 grams of nuts at meal 3,that's at least the double you should be having...

Fair enough. I will change up the 1 egg white and 1 tbsp of PB but 1/2 cup of nuts is ~60-65 grams. You'd think what I'm missing in the PB scoop I'm getting in the nuts anyways!

But on a side note, do you think the cheat meal I had at the end of the 1st week threw me off ketosis or somthing? I was 3 pounds down 3-4 days in, now I'm 10 days in and still 180lbs, down nothing.

I'm doing 45 mins of LISS on treadmill holding steady 125bpm and lifting about 4 days a week also.

Difference is for better fat burning,it's better to give your body a regular steady amount of calories,then you giving determined amount of calories to your body then in meal 3 you give an absurd amount,60 grams of nuts is 40 grams of fat rougly your probably for your weight should be having 15 grams of fat per meal and 35-40 grams of protein per meal...

Yeah, I'll change up the nuts also then. But aside from that, I don't think that would be a huge cause for 0 weight loss in 10 days doing this diet strictly.

Pretty dissapointed I guess is all. If anything, the 4 slices of large pizza and 5 twisty bread sticks I had for my cheat on Sunday (end of the 1st week) would have caused this back peddling I would think.

Nop the cheat meal was not the cause for sure...Your body probably doesn't respond well to this diet,i did this for my contest prep. i now know that my body dials much faster and more efficiently on low carbs...

Well, I'm going to keep plugging away, let it go for another 4 weeks. Maybe my body needs a bit more time. If at the end of 4 weeks I don't see weight loss I'm going to introduce carbs and go back to counting calories.

Thanks for the info!

Do note, I was doing the math, and 15g of fat, 40g of protien per meal is only 1500 calories spread across 6 meals a day. Seems much too low for a low carb diet no?

you should getting 1.5 of your bodyweight in protein and 0.65 in fat per bodyweight,those are guidelines from palumbo...You then can up or down those numbers in relation to your metabolism and capabilitie of burning fat,cardio,activitie and all those varieties...

That my friend is starving...Up that protein and some more grams of fat per meal...

[AchillesEvent]

I'm looking for something similar to the Keto diet, and this is basically it, but I cannot, CANNOT do 5 whole eggs + four egg whites in one meal every day. I'll vomit like a madman.

I bounce between 182 and 190. Can I drop it down to 3 whole eggs, and 80g of sausage in the morning?

Thanks, I'm sorry if this was already discussed...this is too many bloody pages to read through.

[Free Weight Friedel]

The whey it's fine as long as you add the fat source...

Awesome!

Thanks SBC!!

[L1FTHVY]

[L1FTHVY]

just compare the pics from last year and this years contest and that was only 4 months of bulking and i became 6lbs heavier and much leaner

best strength in my life bulking like a man and not giving a **** about abs

yea man

just EAT good and lots and u get major gains


i've added a 2nd tbsp of PB to all my isolate shakes, and 2 whites to each egg meal, now getting about 100 grams of fat and 234 g protien daily

[L1FTHVY]

instead of having one cheat meal.. i seem to just generally crave carbs.

seeing as how i'm not entering any contests. could i just have a free carb day? during this period i'd most likely eat pretty cleanly and keep the carbs at around 400 or so, but spread them over a day rather than mashing them back in 1 meal. or would this cause negative effects?

thanks

Throw you out of ketosis for a longer time then just having all those carbs in 1 hour and in one meal,like in the diet...The diet is so simple i don't understand why people try to run from his premisses...

no problem.

was just wondering.

i actually did CKD for like 5 months aswell. i think my body responds prety well to the palumbo diet.

[152_pilot]

when it says 8 oz of chicken/beef/fish/whatever, is that 8 oz BEFORE its cooked?

Or 8 oz AFTER its cooked?

[pvance06]

I've been on this diet for around 2 months now, i started out at 218lbs and lost about 8lbs the first two weeks of the diet and not a pound since, i've actually gained a pound or two. I was thinking about going with moderate carb intake for about a week and then starting the diet over again to help get my metabolism going again or should i just keep with it and add pro/veg days?

[Captain Sagara]

****...This diet is simply as hell,you guys who are failing either are doing something terribly wrong or have ****ty genetics...

[cyborgmexican]

Seems good just add more fat at the last meal and add fat to meal 2 & 5 and cut the carrots from there...

I actually don't see the point of this diet and haven't seen anyone step up and show some impressive weight loss numbers. It may be simple but where are the awesome results?

All the feedback I've gotten for me not losing on this diet is I'm eating too much, lower my calories, lower my calories. Then I think, "Yeah, good idea!! Maybe I'm eating too much." Then taking a step back and realize, what the hell is the point of eating low carb, gagging down 8 eggs+8 egg whites a day if you fall back to the calories in vs. calories out? I'm only eating ~2200 cals @ 180. Why cut out 1 macronutrient and limit your food choices if theres no weight loss advantage to it? Meh !
