So it's basically low carb, high poly unsaturated fats and high protein?

Post by: Stavios on March 23, 2009, 10:41:10 AM: Also Palumbo recommends to not cut back on the food for as long as you can.

so you do cardio and when you can't up the cardio anymore, then you can start playing with the diet

I started at 30 minutes 6 times a week, and I up it 10 minutes every week.

I'll go as high as 2h30 maximum, after that I'll cut some fats

Title: Re: Palumbo's diet
Post by: Van_Bilderass on March 23, 2009, 03:36:00 PM: It will work of course but seems like an awful little food, especially since apparently he gives the exact same diet to everyone, whether it's a 200lbs bb or a 315lb bb like Martin Kjellström.

If I were to do it I'd probably carb load a whole day at least one day per week. I suspect most would get away with it without taking a step back, the opposite in fact. I.E. something more like DiPasquale's old diet set-up, which I think was great. You could put on muscle while losing fat. Lyle McDonald's UD2 is a great set-up too but probably too demanding for most.

Works because it has enough protein and caloric restriction.
Like any other diet with these two properties.

That's how I do it.
I usually eat somewhere close to 80g of carbs per day anyway, so that seems to get me through each day without trouble. Long as I keep my carbs under 120g, I'm good. Both on a body fat scale, and satisfaction scale.

Title: Re: Palumbo's diet
Post by: tbombz on March 23, 2009, 04:04:36 PM: low carbs = low insulin = raised gh= fat metabolism

low carbs = low glycogen = low glucose availability = increased useage of fats

when one understands a few basic principles about how the body reacts to the macronutrients, a quick obvious answer to the question "whats a good way to lose fat?" seems to be " dont eat carbs"

its a pretty simplistic approach

however biochemistry and metabolism isnt as simple as that and there are a plethora of other things to consider.

glycogen stores being full results in greater rates of protein synthesis though.

true, and that would be one of the dozens of different things to consider when creating a diet.

after a few days your brain starts using fat as the main energy source.

actually, I feel better and more energic on that diet than I do when I am off-season !

I don't want to praise Palumbo or anything, he didn't invent the diet.
but it works great for me, I could diet all year long and I wouldn't care

I have found I cope pretty well with low-no carbs. Just feel a bit flat and lose some strength. Add some carbs back in though and I get a big strength increase. I think I'm going to do this for a week or two and see where I'm at.

agreed, this is a much better way to "diet" and stay lean....some people have sweet tooths (teeth?), but I have a fatty tooth. I did the high protein/high fat thing for a good chunk of both of my shows back in '02 with good results. Cravings are not nearly as bad, and peanut butter is like dessert to me :)

Meal 1 6 whole Omega-3 eggs
Meal 2 8oz chicken with 1/2 cup raw almonds
Meal 3 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanutbutter
Meal 4 8oz salmon with 1 cup asparagus with 1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil
Meal 5 50 g whey with 2 tablespoon PB
Meal 6 6 whole eggs

That seems a bit low by what he normally recommends. What is/was your starting weight and what weight are you shooting for?

The one he hands out for a 200lb man is like 5 whole Omega eggs + 4 egg whites as meal 1, protein shakes and ANPB for meal 2 and 4, lean chicken and cashews for meal 3, meal 5 fatty meat meal (which yours looks exactly like what he suggests), meal 6 protein shake + ANPB or more eggs.

Palumbo recommends that people buy his supplement "Fiberlyze" but I don't know, it seems like I don't have any constipation problems

You're going to have GI issues eventually, either eat some veggies or use a supplement.

I use a fiber supplement that I bought at Sam's Club called BeneFiber, its a tasteless powder that you can mix in a beverage or shake.

Bascially just not eat that much. Today I had a protein shake with milk for breakfast, protein shake with water as a snack, grilled chicken salad for lunch, protein shake post run and bananna, grilled shrimp and avocado salad for dinner, protein shake and bananna as snack. Today i drank a lot more protein shakes than usual. On a typical day i drink atleast a couple of those protein shakes will be cottage cheese or yogart for snacks.

I have nothing against it. I guess i am just too lazy to really put a whole lot of preparation into dieting. Seems like you have to be really precisely count your protein, fat, and carbs. Plus I still drink on weekends so I feel like that would ruin the affect of the keto diet.

Post by: tbombz on March 24, 2009, 11:09:08 PM: stavios eat vegetables dude, they are essential. offseason, fuck vegetables, just take veggie pill and munch on delicious fruits, lol.

the reasons for veggies are endless

ill list a few of them

-first of all your diet is highly acidic. yourbody maintains acertain PH level all dya long. when your diet is too acidic without enough alkaline, then your body has to release catabolic hormones and takes calcium from your bones and takes glutamine from your muscles in order to balance out your ph LEVELS. meats fats grains, etc.. all acidic. fruits and veggies are alkaline.

- secondly vegetables are high in dietary fiber, a carbohydrate that doesnt release glucose because its indigestable. however the bacteria in your intestines breaks down those fibers into small chain fatty acids and sends those fatty acids to your liver...and when this happens your liver reduces the amount of glucose and thus insulin in the body.

-thirdly vegetables take alot of energy to digest, so mcyh in fatc they have a slightly "negative calorie effect"

- fourthly, vegetables contains thousands upon thousands of vitamins, minerals, anti dioxidants, phytonutrients.... all of which help your body processes work better and more effeciently.

- also, they keep you full!

They can indeed have a negative caloric effect if your overall calories (ingestion vs. expenditure) are already almost equal. The negative effect insinuates a caloric intake that is lower than the output of the body. Calories in vs. calories out will only be the real defining point.

The vegetables themselves provide very few calories and a lot of bulk. If you were not aware that vegetables require more calories for their breakdown than they actually provide to the diet, you will be in for a pleasant surprise during a cutting phase by their presence.

It does make good sense to throw them into a diet when you are looking for the feeling of satiety and a negative caloric balance.

Now, for all of the fat cows out there, just remember that your body does metabolize energy from fibrous carbs.

Wait, I was talking literally there.

It all depends on how lean you were when you started the diet, and your metabolism, etc. I did start off at 45 min though and have been eating 6 meals.
