Reviews of Galeniko & No One's book (Include yours here)

[OneMoreRep]

Galeniko and No One's book appears very entertaining and the material found within is easy enough to pick up by both amateurs and seasoned bodybuilders alike.

I recently got a copy of my own and took a quick glance at Chapter 10 "The Diet" and it was a straight-forward read.

My verdict: The Diet will work.

Mechanics behind it:

Modified Keto-Diet (With days of no carb intake)

+

Caloric deficit (no more than 1000 cals per day)

+

Moderate daily protein intake (150-200 grams of protein)

+

A healthy dose of WILLPOWER

=

Guaranteed weight loss & moderate muscle preservation

I read through the diet section and considered the ramifications of the diet for myself, being that I am natural and do not use any form of PED's, and I find that logically there is no way that the diet would not work in producing rapid results.

I will try to take some time out over the coming months to slowly read the entire book.

Thus far, for their comical approach to simplifying weight loss and their interesting slant on bodybuilding, I give the book (based on what I've read so far) two thumbs up.

Once I read the entire book, I will write a final review.

1000 cals a day?   Please tell me this is a joke.

[no one]

I wrote this in another thread I'll c/p it here.

hey OMR thanks for taking the time to get the book. secondly to write the review.

we took a lot of heat for our syntax and grammar but that was part of the spirit of the book. we wanted to keep it as real as possible and a tribute to GB.

but the system itself when apllied as directed WILL cause fat loss to occur at a more rapid rate, give you more energy and help you hold more lean tissue (and we don't know how or why but it does so amazingly well) than any other conventional diet out there.

there are few things in life that work as directed. esp in this industry of fads. I believe in this system. we took a lot of heat at the start for our motivations. I'm glad people are seeing we really truely want to help people. awesome.

thanks again dude. I promise you if you apply it you'll be amazed. it's unbelievable but it works.

get the book bro. read it. it will all make sense. then try it. every preconceived notion you have about ultra low cal dieting will be blown out of the water.

Caloric deficit (no more than 1000 cals per day)

1000 calories  a day  


lol


Must be a diet for a high school soccer girl

[King Shizzo]

Humans can go how long without food?  1,000 calories is probably more than enough in reality.

Honestly even if it worked I couldnt.  Didnt claw my way to the top of the food chain to est a bowl of Grape Nuts and a spoonfull of peanut butter per day.  Sorry.

Caloric deficit (no more than 1000 cals per day)

Does this mean a caloric deficit of 1000 cals per day or total calories should be 1000 per day?

The first is a bit extreme, the second is insane.

You are only allowed to eat up to 1000 calories per day.

Because of the restrictive approach to caloric intake, that is why I added WILLPOWER as a factor in my equation. You need to have serious WILLPOWER in order to not eat any carbs and also keep your caloric intake at only 1,000 calories per day.

that's cool bro.

but if we were on the same chain, I'd be eating your grapenuts. this isn't just for dieting. I've accumulated more lean tissue on this system than I can believe.

we can't make anyone try it. those who do are not dissapointed.  

ever stop to think as inconceivable as it might be, someone somewhere has created something that totally blows away what your currently doing?

step outside your box bro.

[King Shizzo]

I would like to see a natural complete this diet. We know it works for AAS user, but what about the rest? People don't want to waste away either.

I don't know if this emphasized in the book but people need to lift really light weights on such calories or they risk injury

There is no way I could do it.  I like to eat and have a few beers.  Being lean just isnt a priority anymore.

actually the longer you stay in the deficit the easier it gets and you don't really get crazy hungry.

in that regard it's the easiest diet ever.

Sure...

I can see where the body slowly (over time) adjusts to the caloric deficit and in turn adapts to working with the amount of fuel intake (calories) it receives. Due to the fact that the numbers are steady, there wouldn't necessarily be too many fluctuations, which would prove to be harmful (yo-yo'ing calories).

These guys (Gal & no one) do promote taking multivitamins and having a healthy approach to foods consumed.

I haven't tried their particular diet yet, but I have employed a Keto-diet before and it worked extremely well, especially if you consume healthy fats and protein from choices like chicken, turkey, salmon etc..

It cant not work, unless you dont stick to it. 

But to be fair this isnt really a diet for a natural bodybuilder.

And no Im not arguing about it.

[OneMoreRep]

Keep the "reviews" coming guys..

I did not read the book

But this obviously will not work for naturals

[OTHstrong]

I don't know if this emphasized in the book but people need to lift really light weights on such calories or they risk injury

yes and no.

I just did 500 lb deadlifts for a set of 10 reps, all the way down, perfect form and I am very low and depleted, however you can only get one set out like this per workout, after i did bent over rows with 225, a mild weight for me.

ya I get that bro. 6 more weeks and I'll be joining you.

[no one]

have you got an example of what you would eat on a 1000 calorie day

ya dude. 2lbs of bbqd boneless skinless breast and a few tsp of natty PB.

truthfully 1000cal doesn't seem like a lot. but as your stomach shrinks you'll find it will become difficult to eat 2lbs of chicken breast. lol

at the start the diet is tough. make no doubt about it. you w given your body food for 30+ years it didn't need or require so when you take it away it's not going to be happy. your trying to undo 30 years of overeating so the body has to 'learn' that it has to use it's fat stores for fuel as it will not be getting any more calories from food for fuel, only protein for repair of tissue. once it makes that *switch* you'll experience a marked decrease in appetite and a tremendous increase in energy.

you'll be AMAZED how little food your body actually requires esp for fuel when you already carry a massive fuel source to draw from (fat).

and to address the light weights comment. yesterday I benched 315 for 8 slow reps. I'm not a big bencher. that weight I haven touched since my big tren days.

FOOD INTAKE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUE STRENGTH.

lol 'obviously' cause you have the book and tried the system, right? 

the majority of the people buying the book are naturals and they are ALL experiencing tremendous results.

wtf instead of 'supposing' and 'assuming' try it and then speak from experience.

Thats closer to 1300, but what do I know.
