Palumbo and his 'zero carb' diet !!!

[New Hank Wood]

Could Palumbo be onto something with his 'zero carb' diet?

Palumbo has turned conventional medicine on its head with what many describe as a dangerous mix of foolhardiness and out right ignorance.

Palumbo calls those who criticise his diet as ignoramuses. 

Palumbo is not interested in listening to the inherent health dangers of his controversial 'zero carb' diet plan. 

No, Dave will do what he god damn wants to do!

[McFarland]

Hank working overtime as of late!  LOL 

[NaturalWonder83]

i love his diet
good easy way to get a 6 pack

[New Hank Wood]

Dave is the pre-contest guru.  Can't think of anyone who comes close to him.

Back in the day, Dave was the graniest, driest son a bitch on the bodybuilding planet.

Palumbo knows his shit, he was actually at med school for half a second! He knows the physiology of the body.

The diet is not zero carb, it is low carb...although very low. In most instances with this diet, you still take in 50g of carbs per day...just enough to fuel your training. On top of that, you have the wkly cheat meal...again, adding in more carbs...more then likely, several 100.

hank is on fire lately.

What would you recommend Hank?

hank is on fire lately.

Indeed.  He is quite the flamer.

i read that you brain needs 50g of glucose a day just to function.

I've heard 20, and you could manufacture that on your own.  Your brain won't ooze out your ear if you don't eat carbs.  My main objections are being unable to maintain training intensity or frequency, being short tempered, and giving away too much quality of life for accelerated fat loss.

shhhhh...let the master work his magic.

[Manninen dude]

A well-designed very-low-carb diet is not "dangerous" by any standards.

Declining into a state of ketosis can be near fatal.  Thank Christ Palumbo has an understanding of medicine or we could be seeing a lot of very ill clients.

Palumbo actually went to medical school, well that is what he keeps telling everyone!

[webcake]

Im on the Palumbo diet as we speak. Have been for 2 months or so now. Working fairly well and i feel fine on it.

[New Hank Wood]

Palumbo is a genius.  Carbs are for pussies.

Oh yes I know who you are.

Why do you insist on ending every post with an exclamation point!

The Inuits constanly live in a state of ketosis...they seem to be doing fine...and have much fewer cardiovascular problems....

seems to me one would get very flat on that diet no?

[NaturalWonder83]

Yes Mr Hank and when you look up at the night skies during the day its amino acids aka protein structures that formulated the universe not carbs.

Carbs = fatties.

[Arnold jr]

Your brain can function quite well off of keytone bodies, which you should be producing tons of on a diet that has you getting 50g of carbs per day.

As compared to if you were eating a lot more carbs, yes. but like Bobby said, after the first few wks it does get better. Plus the day after your cheat meal you should appear much fuller. If you're dieting for a contest, which is how the diet in question was laid out for, how flat you look while dieting does not really matter...all that matters is the show date. In that case you should be fine because you do carb up...only slightly though...it shouldn't take to much since by that time you should have become extremely sensitive to carbs

[Sarcastic Deity]

definitely NOT a good diet for naturals 

[OTHstrong]

seems to me one would get very flat on that diet no?

And what would be the point of not being flat. Who cares if your flat.

[big L dawg]

as long as you take tons of fiber supps its great.most people that argue against it simply don't have the will power to stick with it.

[New Hank Wood]

Palumbo's zero carb diet is a health risk to kidney and liver function.

Palumbo's new fad diet has long term health issues; 

Zero carb (ketogenic) diets deplete the healthy glycogen stores in your muscles and liver.

 Depletion of muscle glycogen causes you to fatigue easily, and makes exercise and movement uncomfortable.

Depletion of muscle glycogen leads to muscle atrophy (loss of muscle)

Loss of muscle causes a decrease in your basal metabolic rate.
Your muscles and skin lack tone and are saggy.

Palumbo is a danger to this so-called sport.  To think he has the gumption to call himself a pre-contest guru.  He should 'not' have dropped out his medical studies to pursue bodybuilding!

low carbs, zero sugar, lots of protein, works
