Cool I wasn't exactly sure if that diet should change depending on a person BF%.
now as far as the meal plan is concerned is the meal that is showing what I will eat everyday or are there variations? and if there are variations could somebody show me where to find them so I can print them off and stick em on my fridge ;) I have tried to find some and can't find anything very informative.
Thanks in advance guys looking forward to a lean mean new me
The diet varies as per lean body mass...there are variations from 250lbs, 230lbs, 200lbs, 180lbs...etc The amount of protein and fat change depending on what category you fall into. Cardio always starts at once per day...things are not static so you need to have room...you never lay all your cards on the table at once...tweaks happen on a weekly to bi weekly basis otherwise the body adapts and fat loss comes to a screeching halt.

That being said the first week working with Dave the weight loss is absolutely astronomical, especially if you have been doing no cardio in the offseason. For the majority of clients, he transitions you right into his Keto diet and starts you doing 30 min cardio every day. When i worked with him i came into the diet at around 210 at about 9-10% and by weeks end i was down to 201. Not to be worried though as majority of it was water weight that really flushes out when you drop the carbs. Incorporate a new drug regime/thermo's(which i did not) on top of that and first week weight loss could even be more intense.
As far as Cardio goes I think I'll get a heartmonitor I can wear on my wrist and do my Cardio outside. I can't seem to get Jiggy with Cardio at the gym but I love trail walking and walking hills etc etc with the dog you guys are great I didn't know what to expect joining this forum but so far its been good looking forward to many years.
heart monitor is fun but not really required a comfortable walk will put you where you want to be.
9 pounds in week one is pretty surprising @ 10% you must have been holding a fair bit of water.
I was about 6 pounds @ ~19%
Hi Everyone,...:flagC I'm new to the forum and am in my second day of Keto (Ouch!). I wanted to begin logging my results as the next few weeks come and go since it seems real world experiences are appreciated here. I also wanted to get some advice on the training end of things. Here's my situation:
41 y/o male prepping for first Natural BB show in 5 weeks. Been dieting for 6 months now using Professionally coached (Not Dave) Carb Cycling plan. Been doing twice weekly HIIT and 8 times weekly steady state cardio performed during twice daily sessions. I've been training 4-5 times per week on an Upper/Lower functional lifting based plan repeated twice weekly. Strength has held firm with a couple PR's as I have come down from 240 lbs., 25% bf to 193 lbs., ~8% bf. Obviously I was a fat SOB, thus the long prep. Averaged 2 lbs. loss per week. Pics Attached.
Since I've got stubborn fat remaining in my gut, gluteals, and legs I am now switched over to Keto for the final push, exactly as outlined by Dave. I'm now doing twice daily steady state cardio spinbike at 45 mins each, 7 days a week.
Given my history over the last 6 months, would you guys suggest changing up my weekly workout approach to optimize muscle conservation these last 5 weeks on Keto. Here is a brief summary of how it looks now:

Not sure what day of the week the cheat meal will fall on yet. Or is this a situation where it's not wise to muck with a proven track record....? Thanks for any input.

Good guess,...and Yes. Though only for the diet portion. In the last couple weeks I began to plateau. With needed modifications I started to dump TOO much weight/muscle. Attempts to reset/refill my metabolism worked but with time running short and considerable pudge clinging for life he opted to throw the big Keto guns so there'd be no more guessing. At least that's my impression of the how/why...
