Palumbo Diet

[ItlnStln]

Is Palumbo's diet the same as a regular CKD??

Anyone have a link to an outline of Dave's Diet?????

As always, thanks in advance...........

[MR. BMJ]

It's the same thing except I think it has slightly higher protein percentages, only 1 carb meal period for each week instead of 1-2 days, and I think he is a little less strict on the total amount of carb calories each day during the week (meaning they may be a little higher daily amounts) from sources like peanut butter, almonds, etc.....partly because of the limited amount of time in the carb-up phase.

I find it more closer to an Atkin's style of eating, with a carb meal once every 1-2 weeks....from what I have gathered. Somebody correct me if I am wrong?

It's similar to the Atkin's diet but it's fat sources are derived from high omega 3 sources such as fish oils. I believe his diet is very healthy and he touts it for longevity too. I do it year round almost and it works very well for me- especially when I am not "on". furthermore, I never go hungry and I am always full of energy.

I subsitute in fish oil in two of my meals.

Here is an example of Dave's diet:

MEAL #1
5 whole eggs (make sure to buy OMEGA-3 EGGS from the supermarket. They contain virtually NO saturated fat and tons of good OMEGA-3 fats); add another 4 egg whites to this (they don’t need to be the Omega-3 ones; you can use liquid egg whites)

MEAL #2
SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 ½ tablespoon of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar)

MEAL #3
"Lean Protein Meal": 8oz chicken with 1/2-cup cashew nuts (almonds, or walnuts)

MEAL #4
SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 ½ tablespoons of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar added)

MEAL #5
"Fatty Protein Meal": 8oz Salmon, Swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, carrots, or red peppers) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Macadamia nut oil and vinegar

MEAL #6
SHAKE: 50g Whey with 1 ½ tablespoon all natural peanut butter or 4 whole (Omega-3) eggs and 4 extra whites

Oh yes, the fish oils too like our man above mentioned

I've been hearing about more and more BB's actually "staying" in ketosis, and having phenomenal results doing so............

[cranny]

I've been on it for just 2 wks. and so far it's been good. I was a little reluctant as far as no carbs w/ regards to energy but it really hasn't been an issue yet.
Here ya go.

Supps:
ESSENTIAL POLYUNSATURATES:
-Omega-3 Fish Oil pills 1000mg 3x per day
-Evening Primrose Oil (Omega-6) 1300mg 2x per day
-Extra Virgin Olive Oil is still better for your heart! These are HEART HEALTHY MONOUNSATURATED FATS (along with MACADAMIA NUT OIL). MONO's are NOT essential fats; however, they ARE very heart healthy.

NON ESSENTIAL but HEART HEALTHY
Macadamia Nut oil (Omega-9 monosaturates) 2-3 ablespoons per day
I'm a believer in a good whole food supplement. I've mentioned it before:

Juice Plus+ gives you 12 servings of fruits and veggies in 4 pills (no sugar, no fiber). Juice Plus+, Juice Plus Official HomepageÂ*

Take all supps with food

Diet: (for 250lb man)
Meal 1 6 whole Omega-3 eggs
Meal 2 8oz chicken with 1/2 cup raw almonds
Meal 3 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanutbutter (PWO)
Meal 4 8oz salmon with 1 cup asparagus with 1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil
Meal 5 50 g whey with 2 tablespoon PB
Meal 6 6 whole eggs

HAVE YOUR CHEAT MEAL ON THE SAME DAY EVERY WEEK, last meal of the day so you don’t cheat again.

FOR WEIGHT GAIN:
Follow my same formula. . . High protein (50g per meal), Moderate Fat (25g per meal), and moderate carbs (35-50g per meal). If you're a hard gainer, eat 8-10 meals. If you're an easy gainer (but get fat easily), stick to 6 meals per day.

For the 1000th time, when following my diet plan (which includes getting your brain into ketosis), there can be NO starchy carbs eaten!

Cardio:
CARDIO should be performed at a low intensity (under 120bpm heartrate). This will ensure that you use FAT as a fuelsource since as your heartrate increase, carbohydrates begin to become the preferred fuel of choice for the body. When on a low carb diet, you're body will break down muscle and turn that into carbs. Remember, Fat CANNOT be changed into carbs. Therefore, for bodybuilding, the rule of cardio should be LONG DURATION, LOW INTENSITY

Forget using:
-MCT's are a waste when you're dieting. If you're gonna use FATS for an energy source, they might as well serve a function in the body. MCTs are useless. They can only serve as a source of energy!
-Arginine is not going to do anything. It will DO something; just not dramatic.

That doesn't seem like alot of food for such a large bodybuilder...

3 solids and 3 shakes a day. Is this maintenance or dieting for a show?

[booey]

I could never do that. Out of my 7-8 meals, 3 of them have carbs and I'm going insane!!!!!!!! Yeah, and it doesn't look like too much food (i.e. calories).
