did you put together this diet yourself?

I wouldn't take 2 shakes a day if it was me, but I'm not very familiar with the Palumbo Diet so I don't know what it looks like. And also, what time are you training?

 

[leo8013]

no I didnt make the diet myself but got it off a couple different websites. I just googled palumbo keto diet. I put the menu together myself though since it gives you examples of what to eat. I wish I didnt have to do 2 shakes a day but with work and costs I had to find a way to make it cheaper and time issues. I start eating at 4:30 am and I hit the gym around 1:30 or so. I would have eat 4 times before I got to the gym.

What's the carb count on your protein shakes? I never got 2 tablespoons of natty PB I only got 1 per meal. Make sure your eggs are the omega 3 eggs if at all possible. Other than that it looks pretty good! You should take before pictures & then more every two weeks.

 

[leo8013]

The shake count on carbs is 18 with a fiber of 2.

 

[mb97]

Ok that's where the 72 carbs are coming from! That's way too high you need to find a whey powder that only has 3-4 carbs in it. Dymatize makes a great tasting one. Dave keeps tge total amount of carbs to 30 and tgat takes into account the small amount of carbs in almonds, PB, and your whey shakes. Anything over 30 your body will NOT be in ketosis therefore your brain will never make the switch from wanting to burn carbs for fuel to wanting to burn body fat fuel, which is the key point in the diet. Hope this helps brother.

 

[leo8013]

damn ok thanks. will do on the shakes or see if I can find a way to do it with whole food. I have 25lb left of this powder. If I sub with chicken or tuna I should be good? Keep the protein the same and drop more carbs.

 

[mb97]

Yes tuna or chicken would be great!

i'd starve and shrink...i'm wondering if cause all the slin and gh palumbo advocates that this works much differently on people...good luck...you gonna post progress pics throughout?

Well today begins the third day of the diet. You do still eat alot of food on this. I ordered my dymaize whey to make things a little cheaper on me. I remember now how much I hate eggs. Just to bland. The only thing I have noticed is that I had headache all last night.

 

[mb97]

Make sure you drink plenty of water! Carbs make your body hold water so when you go to no carbs for consecutive days dehydration can happen pretty easy. I had a few headaches too

 

[leo8013]

I drink a minimum of 1 gallon a day. I will up if necessary. Just took some advil to get rid of the headache. The other thing that I didnt mention is that I sweating like crazy. Is that normal also? Yesterday i ate about 2700cal. 270 protein, 260 fat, and 20 carbs i dont know the exact numbers since I dont have them on me but I do know that the carb count is dead on and the protein and fats are close.

 

[mb97]

Not sure about the sweating other than it could just be your body releasing the water a little easier. If you don't start seeing results you need to lower your fat intake, that seems a little high to me.

 

[leo8013]

I know. Yesterday sucked. I had to stay home with the kids. It was easier for me to make eggs then regular meals. I am back on track today.

 

[leo8013]

Also here are the supps I am using as well.
1 pak animal pak vitamins daily
fish oil pills 1400 3x a day
cyp 500 week splits 250 wed night and sat morn (4th cycle)
Medicine synthroid.

well according to my ketostix it detected a small amount of ketones. Hopefully by friday I will be in full blown ketosis. Headaches are gone just had to increase my water intake.

 

[leo8013]

Its thursday and a day early I am in Ketosis. The test strips detect moderate ketones. now just keeping it one day at a time. Picked up 20lbs of chicken breasts today and 2 24oz jars of natty pb.

the original anabolic diet has an initial 2 weeks phase with nearly zero carbs before you start the m-f deplete and weekend carbup...just to compare

 

[leo8013]

well today I felt tired as can be this morning but feel ok now. For some reason after my second meal of the day I have not had any food. I am just not hungry for some reason and when I tried to force feed myself I felt like I was going to throw up. The only thing I could stomach before hitting the gym just now was 4tbs pb. Is this normal to not want to eat on this.
