Palumbo's diet

[Van_Bilderass]

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.

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

[ironneck]

fuck all that shit and just stay under 2000kcal

That's a fucked up diet, how do you function on no carbs?!!? and don't tell me you get plenty of carbs from the peanut butter and vegetables...

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.

[buffdnet]

low carbs like that makes me
walk into walls, doors and other dumbshit.
totally kills what little brain fuktion i have left

 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

You don't like ice cream, Stavi?

I can eat some if I want 1 time per week !

I know they say to carb up with low fat, but fuck it I eat what I want for that meal.

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.

i've cut junk completely out for the past two months.

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

Whatever works. I just don't want to see you suffer because of a stoopid diet!

How's it going? I always get the munchies at night. Takes a lot of discipline for me to stay away from a big bag of chips or something

Yeh, I'm hoping after a few days this will stop. Threw out some chocolate and doritos this evening 

I hope to cut the weight pretty fast, just worrying about loss of strength

[Purge_WTF]

Apparently very effective diet

  Pretty much any diet would be effective if you inhaled gallons of GH on a daily basis.

good shit Dave !
the first month is the harder, it must be much easier now than it was at the beggining

Whats the "palumbo" diet structure?

[webcake]

Whats the "palumbo" diet structure?

Keto.....pretty much no carb, high fat, high protein.

If you were getting ready for a show.....Palumbo recommends quite a lot of cardio.
