What I'm not getting though, is when you say cutting out all carbs, what does that entail? Are veggies, spinach, carrots, broc., etc.. considered carbs?
well you should stay away from veggies on your zero carb days. but certain veggies have such a low glycemic load, and such a small amount of sugars, that they can be consumed in small amounts for the dietary fiber. certainly carrots would not be allowed on the zero carb days. a small amount of broccoli, celery, or lettuce would be fine. uncooked whole green beans in a small amount as well. i would suggets eating them after your proteins and fats to slow digestion though.
on palumbos diet, his actual meal recommendations is this
meal one 50 grams protein 25 grams fat 10 grams carbs
meal two repeat
meal three repeat
meal four repeat
meal five repeat
meal six repeat
so a small amount of a carb like celery broccoli or lettuce at each meal is allowed.. but i would watch it, becuase there are hidden carbs in eggs, nuts, and alot of other fat sources.
stick to monounsaturated fats if you try this out.
