Quick Question about Palumbo Diet?

[ocat]

I am currently at 199lbs and the wife and I are considering giving the Palumbo Diet a try. I was just wondering if the sample for a 200lbs man means a man with a LBM of 200lbs?

Also wondering if my wife could do the same diet? Or is there some changes that need to be made?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Ocat welcome to CBB!!

200LBS is not LBM weight so you should do well on the diet. For your wife, Palumbo posted a female diet online, I believe CC is using something similar for her contest prep and doing very well on it ( You should show your wife her thread it's quite an amazing transformation and truely inspiring search for Country Chick Contest Prep ) . Here is the female diet and here's the forum it was on.. good luck start a journal for us!


WOMENS DIET PLAN

Follow DIET #2 for 2 day...then follow DIET #1 for 2 days.......then REPEAT



DIET #1

MEAL #1
10 egg whites

MEAL #2
35g protein from Probolic SR


MEAL #3
6oz chicken (ostrich, turkey) with 1-cup asparagus or green beans

MEAL #4
6oz white fish (fluke, flounder, sole, cod, ect.) with a green salad with vinegar & mustard (no olive or macadamia nut oil)

MEAL #5
35g protein from Probolic SR




DIET #2

MEAL #1
2 whole (OMEGA-3) Eggs with 6 egg whites

MEAL #2
35g protein from Probolic SR

MEAL #3
6oz chicken (ostrich, or turkey, or lean fish such as tilapia, flounder, sole, cod) with 1/4-cup (1oz) cashew nuts, or almonds, or walnuts (vary it)

MEAL #4
6oz salmon, swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, red peppers, or carrots) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Mac Nut Oil and vinegar

MEAL #5
35g protein from Probolic SR




**** You should have a cheat meal once per week (in place of meal #5). This is NOT optional. I want you to have it!

*** Sugar Free Metamucil or some Psyllium supplement 1-teaspoon 2x per day (fiber supplement)-important-fiber helps burn fat and keeps the food MOVING through your intestinal tract.
*** You can use sugar-free soy sauce (use as much salt as you want), Sea Salt, mustard, and vinegar for condiments.
*** You can drink water, sugar-free drinks (diet soda), coffee, or tea with STEVIA BALANCE (no SPLENDA or EQUAL)
*** NO GUM CHEWING

if his clients fall in or around 200lbs ...he starts them on the same diet and then adjusts from there. your wife should follow his diet for females. make sure to do a.m. cardio low intensity every day starting at 30 mins and increasing when fat loss stalls.

Thanks guys this is great...

[ocat]

Just wondering if all the supp. that are suggested are needed?
Or would it be ok to give it a go without.

Will be using a fiber supp. 2xday..

[gsxr750]

Just a good whey protein in place of the Probolic SR, and the fiber supp should be fine

I would hold off on cardio at first and let the diet do its thing. Too many are too quick to jump into cardio and will burn themselves out. You'll drop weight fast going no carbs itself.

I like the keto diets and they work very well for people. I use them on people for contests, etc. I was on it at the start of my prep and dropped too much weight so I'm back on carbs. My metabolism is way to efficient at burning and utilizing carbs so keto will burn too much muscle on me.

That`s good advice on holding off with the cardio. I`ve been holding off of cardio for 32 years...

Diet must be working out well for you then, lol.

[gsxr750]

I personally didn't do cardio, just trained hard ( lift heavy 6-8 reps max ) and went from 260 to 200. At that point I required cardio to keep dropping fat..

That's good advice, don't burn her out let her adjust to one thing at a time

[nisser]

It's true though..I did no cardio when I did palumbo diet and had no problems dropping weight.

[ocat]

Thanks for the tips everyone..

I love the fat/proten diet,doing well,but at one time i was eating a little to much fat so the weight didn't comes off as fast.I'm with the Dr.Mauro DiPasquale(anabolic Diet) and its very close to the Palumbo diet.
As for Sugar Soya Sauce i will look into it,but i don't have anymore since i don't eat carbs,but how does the stuff take GSXR750.I will try out Suger free Metamucil and i hope that takes good.I don't eat Gum and never been big on it.

[gsxr750]

The orange sugar free metamucil isn't that bad ST, I think they just released a sugar free lemonaid version

Would tuna be considered a white fish? Wondering for the wife's diet.

Thanks for the help we start tomorrow.

[Benny62]

This diet is awsome good luck you'll love the results.

[wolverine]

Why no Olive oil?? how are you guys cooking your eggs? Can one use Egg Beaters ? Sounds like a very interesting diet.

[gsxr750]

Tuna is fine, flaked light less murcury than white tuna also cheaper. Cook the eggs in a non stick fry pan
