Hey ritch. Keto is real extreme huh? Lol its no more extreme than any other diet but the results are extreme.
i'm considering a second try ^^
Cant believe i've missed this thread. Amazing job, very inspiring to say the least.
L3: Goes to show what total dedication is all about and what the results can be if you want it bad enough.
Nate: Awesome guidance!!
I guess we`ll never agree on this. But yes it`s extreme. It`s crazy to me. When I did it, I couldn`t even bench a plate on the incline for 10 reps. So of course I`ll never accept it as an effective method for me. The results were good, but could be achieved simply cutting carbs for the last 3 meals in my opinion. But again, good job to both of you. Now if you`d only share the diet and drug info like a good couple of fella`s...Quote:

I'm sorry you couldn't bench a plate for 10 reps when you did it. How much were you normally benching. Perhaps *some* people like yourself could achieve similar results in 45 days by simply not eating carbs in the past 3 meals but the majority of people are not you. You are a self admitted ecto which means losing weight/fat is a non-issue for you. An anomaly for the majority of society.
the science behind keto is sound
Given the fact I`ve done very little steroids it would be a mistake to say I think drugs are the key... I always like to get feedback on what people did to look the way they do. And rarely can you get such honest info and is why I value it so much.Quote:

I also hope my post isn`t seen as anything negative... Gotta go, working soon...
Holy great job bro,you better have 1 girl every night.I will need pics of all the babes,and tell them there isn't any battery in the camera always works.:)
WOW!! duder thats impressive,, my hats off to you,, keep up the great work,, I wish I could follow a diet that well. Nate, you too for being such a great coach.
you guys mind pm me Nate's Keto diet/training/supplement schedule lol,, or post? lol
You should read what I wrote a couple pages back because it doesn't matter. There are plenty of example keto diets and one that I posted earlier in the week but what it starts out as is not what it ends up at and that includes the cardio.Quote:

The biggest thing though is consistency. L3 did not cheat at all except on his weekly cheat meals. He even had dates with girls and told them he had to go home and cook his meal. That's consistency.
You can get down to about 10% with just the template and a little willpower below that takes both brains and willpower.
If you aren't doing a contest or comparing yourself to guys @ 6% or less 12% looks pretty darn good.
If you are practicing posing in your underwear beside a kid that is 6% and you are 12% like I was yesterday then you feel like a fat pig.
(But happily he had toothpicks for legs)
hey L3..how long has it been since you stopped the diet?i was just wondering if you expeirienced any major rebound yet..and if not what was your strategy in preventing it...
He's currently getting his thing on with every girl on the beach...continuing the cardio i guess.
He's gained 20 pounds off of drinks with umbrellas and buffets and is now lying in the fetal position waiting for his next drink :)
He left last night for Mexico and when he comes back we'll hop back on the diet for a week or so then transition out of keto into a maintenance program then into a lean bulk program if he wants to go there.Quote:

I have gotten down to 10% on the palumbo template with little to no cardio, no clen and no adjustments to the template last year. It took about 20 weeks to go from 25% to 10%.
Going from 19% to 10% in 8 weeks on the other hand takes adjustments.
Damn good job you two! Very impressive work
can't believe I missed this thread,
L3 you look great man, just an amazing transformation.
good work nate & L3 :)
damn, awesome job.
Great job dude. 45 days? That is amazing!
Good work.
Congrats bro!, amazing work
How is this possible in 45 days ? Unreal work.
Definetly hard work and dedication went into those 45 days good work bro!!
Unreal guys, WOW:eek:
I hate to say it, but Nate bro i would love to hear more about how u did this for him ie. diet/cardio plan.
Again guys UN****EN real :)
I don't see your post as negative but I can tell you for absolute certain that if you lost that kind of strength then you weren't following it correctly.Quote:

I don't want to point fingers and say one method is better than another but I can say I've done several varieties under the guidance of recognized experts in their field and I felt my best on keto even while doing a BOATLOAD of cardio (stupid me for being that out of shape). The only problem I had with keto were the digestion issues.
Either way it doesn't really matter for you as being an ecto you don't have issues with dropping weight/fat quickly so I wouldn't want to ditch my carbs either :D
To be fair Nate, at the time, I wasen`t doing the diet properly as now ( from being on this site ) know much better how the diet works thanks to the A1 and unselfish info that`s posted here. But as we both know, I`m an ecto and can do without it. So from an experimentation point it`s tempting to try it, but the restrictions are too much for me, I`d freak out, lol...
Keto has a proven track record and anybody I feel who has the dicipline do pull keto off, I recommend it to them.
Nice work....looks like even your pewee shrunk :)
...probably the only person who's ever kept some sort of diet on vacay
...only alcohol consumed was 1 shot of tequila the entire week
...one refeed meal, rest was protein/fat/veggies
...managed to fill 3 memory cards full of photos
...best week of my life, worth every penny and drop of sweat :a+
heres some highlights
2-3 portions per meal, 6-8 times a day:

balcony pic is 1st day, beach pic is 5th day, 15 lbs heavier LOL:
You look even fuller in the beach pics. I found your avatar pic a little depleted looking to be honest. Nice looking lady you found...
Holy crap brudda you look amazing...lol. So be honest bro how much poon did you get on vacation?
Oh what are your stats bro, like height, age, weight ect?
Holy shit. Nice pics, nice girl too!
Glad you enjoyed the vacation!
You see,im one of those guys that after weeks 1 and 2 my strenght plummets for good.I tend to lose 10-15lbs of water during this time and the water in my case helps a lot with levrage and strenght.I might keep 85% of my stenght.But overall,i dont care cause i feel great on a keto diet and i just do a bit more volume to make up for the strenght loss.If i feel im going downhill too quickly,ill load up for a week or 2(i usually do this after week 6 or so) and train heavy to bring back strenght and any muscle that "may" of been loss.i dont compete,so loading here and there doesnt matter to me :).The only thing i have problems on a keto diet is digestion like you said.The heartburn KILLS..especially after the cheat meal...Quote:
