Dave Palumbo/ketosis diet for a female?

[pw154]

I am considering putting my girl on a ketosis diet. I've never done a ketosis diet myself. Can the Palumbo diet be modified to a female's dietary needs? She is not a bodybuilder and simply wants to lose 10-15 lbs of fat. She is 5'3 and about 120 lbs. She would be doing fasted AM cardio 5x a week and light resistance training in the PM 5x a week. She wants results quickly (don't they all?) so I thought ketosis will be a good fit for her. Any thoughts, advice?

Or she could follow the Doucette diet and eat alot less fat and alot more healthy foods including tomotoes muschrooms strawberries cottage cheese and intead of looking good for a few months on the diet look good all the time.

Palumbos diets work for sure, no doubt about it, but i agree that they are too low in micronutrient content for my liking and for a female who is consuming so few cals i would only have 1 shake per day during your workout and have everything else be whole foods
