High fat/protein low carb diet

[Dr. Shock]

I have reactive hypoglycaemia which means that if I consume too many carbs, my insulin spikes too fast and I crash really badly. I normally have to eat every two hours with a complex carb/protein meal. While I can more or less keep the hypo at bay, I find I'm not growing the way I should be. I was thinking of trying a Palumbo-style diet to see if this made any difference. Has anyone here tried it? If so, was it successful? Any help would be much appreciated.

High fat/protein low carb diet sounds like Atkins

Dan Duchaine's Underground Body Opus and Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale's The Anabolic Diet (now called The Metabolic Diet, I believe) take a similar approach.

I will give you an example of a diet designed by Palumbo..This is an actual diet for a National Level individual.

You can adjust in accordance to needs and goals:

For example, I use 8-10 large eggs for meal 1 and 1 cup of cashews or almonds for meal 2. For meal 3, I use 2 tbsp's of NPB... etc.


Meal 1- 6 whole eggs (large eggs)

Meal 2- 8oz. chicken breast with 1/2 cup cashews

Meal 3- 50 gram whey isolate protein with 1 tbsp Natural PB

Meal 4- 8oz. steak (sirlon) and green salad with 1 tbsp of olive oil with vineger

Meal 5- repeat meal 2

Meal 6- repeat meal 3

Meal 7- (if staying up late) repeat meal 2 or 3

Carb up on the weekend (usually saturday for me) with about 300-500 grams of carbs (usually pizza, cake, candy, ect) This was usually my last meal of the night

Hope this helps

If you can't get shredded on this you have need to give up bodybuilding...lol.

Any questions let me know.

This is basically the same diet I follow. Only I use a targeted ketogenic diet. I love it. It doesn't make you crazy like a cycical ketogenic diet, and you still get to keep your strength up in the gym.

[WOOO]

my regular diet is something very similar, i find it very comfortable and fun to follow... it leaves lots of room for extra meals and cheating

the great thing about the high fat/protein low carb diet is that you are never really hungry.  I'm on a very similar modified diet myself and the weight falls off.
