Dave Palumbo Diet

yea, thats what i figured. Thanks for the quick responses BTW. I think i may give it a

shot anyways for a month or so and see how i fair. If strength is staying, ill keep

going, if the weights start to drop ill back off, and start to reintroduce some carbs.

Now, i was planning on staying natural for a while, but i think it may be benificial for

me to run a mild cycle while doing this diet. I personally dont advocate an oral only

cycle very often lol, but i think it may be suited well to my goals at the moment. I

have a bunch o var left over from a previous cycle, perhaps it would be alright to run 60

mg ED for the duration im on this diet, to help stave off any muscle wasting. What are your thoughts?

Possibly, im not a fan of var alone personally........And if not running any super supplements, and no carbs, you will lose muscle for sure, going hi intensity as one needs to train in your sport....
Fat wont do much for your energy levels as far as the explosive and cardio endurance you require, thats all carb related energy IMO.....But will give you energy to do day to day tasks and short stimulating workouts....
let us know how it goes for you, as sometimes we stumble on to things that work, even when there are plenty of naysayers.....:D

Is the boxing going to cause me to lose a bunch of muscle on this diet? (i know dave says low intensity only)
Is this diet a good choice for me personally?

My goals right now are simply to drop bf and maintain lbm, not concerned with adding lbm at all at the moment.

HIT boxing training can definitely cause some muscle loss if your heart rate is going above 130bpm. Once you go above this the body cannot use ketones for fuel as they are too slow...oxygen is now needed and this changes the equation in favour of glucose as a fuel...in the abscence glycogen amino acids will be converted ...ie muscle loss.
If you are training HIT boxing etc then I would suggest some carb intake prior to that...thus you would not be in ketosis.

thanks for all the responses guys...im going to give a go and see what happens. Day 1 is

on january 1st, maybe ill start a log and just update weekly. Since i have the var i

think i am going to use it, and i am going to follow the diet at the beggining of the

article, with the addition of NO shotgun prior to any workouts. Hopefully i can stave off

any muscle wasting, but only time will tell. I am also going to incorporate the species

supplements lipolyze and somalyze as soon as i get the cash together for them. Once

again, thaks for all the help, now its time for me to put this into action.

Just an FYI...the var will not help spare muscle if you continue to do high intensity boxing type training while on a keto diet...the body still requires fuel and it will get it from amino acids...ie muscle tissue.

ic, well should i scrap the diet all together?

or could i possibly add a small amout of carbs to my no shotgun, prior to boxing

i do understand that it will alter the diet, but can i add 10 grams of carbs to my pre-boxing no shotgun? Would this completely negate the diet? Would it permanently keep me out of ketosis? Any info would be appreciated. I just wanna get the ball rolling
:)

Boxing is not something i want to give up, so i need to find a way to make it work lol... any help would be appreciated.

For now im going to stick with the plan thats laid out in the OP... but id like to know what i could do to weak it a bit if needed

A keto diet will make you loose muscle mass.

Have carbs before and after your training sessions and bcaas during and that will help you to spare muscle.

Don't talk about what you don't know or have knowledge on.
