Most definitely it`s about how good or bad the person`s insulin sensitivity is. I`m guessing mine is rather high and is why I can do it the way I can. The endomorhps tend to do well on keto, I`m more of a natural ecto...

On a keto diet too much fat per meal will slow fat loss..ie BF being used for fuel. On a competition diet to get extremely lean the fat will need to be removed on alternate days once you reach 4-6 weeks out. For a 200lb BB on a keto diet the average would be about 20-25g per meal and 6 meals.

Is this the number 1 recommended diet for a 5'9 190lb male wanting to get down to 180ish and lean ? Seems pretty solid. Just eat as it says everyday, but for how long ? Until the cut is done ?
I just started this diet... I have lots of energy in the gym which is great... However I feel like I'm having some problems choking down all the food in the day...
I can barely eat the 8oz of chicken and the morning meal of 5 eggs and 4 eggwhites is impossible for me to eat. (I sub a 5 oz can of tuna and 3 eggs)
Do you have to eat all of what is required in the diet?
Exactly...your hunger will build over time...enjoy this while it lasts.

Let say doing this diet ( or any for that matter ) and your trying to get all 6 meals in , but you just ran out of time Next thing you know it's 5pm and have only had three meals ( 1 whole and 1 shakes ) is it ok to combine 2 meals together to get in the daily calories ? I've always been under the impression that try hard to get in the separate meals , but if needed combining 2 or more is ok .
Also I know some guys that will make up all their food the nigh before and put it ALL in one or two plastic tubs and just pick at it all day until it's done... WHat are your thought on that ?
Doubling up meals is not good. You should be eating roughly every three hours. Dieting is all about being organized and having things prepared. With the addition of shakes as three of the meals there realy is no excuse for not getting in all six meals. Combining meals will mean doubling calories during that time and possibly trace carbs this will not work in your favour.
Meals NEED to be timed properly....not picked at half hazardly that will lead to failure on the diet.

For this diet, is this the meal plans for EVERY day, or just training days ? Also, I have some cheap protein Body Fortress or something and every 2 scoops in 52g or protein, but I'm unaware of the sugar/carb gram number. If the carbs are moderately high, does it count as a direct source of carbs ?
Also, for snacking, if necessary, dark green vegetables/low starch vegetables ?
no snacking and whey isolate.
same meals every day.
For what time period ? Until your cutting goal is reached ? Then continue with something in major similarity to it ?
Its really not that hard..and if you would a search there is tons of info EVERYWHERE.You eat the damn same thing..day in and day out..on training and non training days.The foods you pick must not contain carbs...except for trace carbs(id say no more than 5-6 carbs a meal)..and in my opinion you should not go over 35 trace carbs spread over a 24 time period.You have one carb up meal every week where you eat it on your last meal of the day.It should contain 500 carbs plus your protein.
Great that you actually read what I said.
I have done a keto last summer and loved it, I only had cravings when I drank alcohol (1 drink only in 2 different occasions) and I felt great all the time.
NO Gi issues as long as drink enough water.
I still believe that keto diets are great but not for every person.
a person that knows basic cooking adn has a justa bit of imaghination can develop a meal plan and rotate his foods and not feel sick of eating precisely teh same thing over and over.
When summer comes I may go back to a keto
I'm really excited to start this.
As long as I eat as it says, avoiding direct carbohydrates will probably be the hardest part. I'm a big fan of beans and it's sorts, but I believe I can make success out of it.
What's the deal with the cheat-carb day ? How does that work ?
not day, meal. and within moderation.
I kinda figured that time would be a factor...
As for right now the hardest meal of the day for me is Meal 1...
I just can't eat all those eggs that early in the morning...
This morning I did ok though...
4 Egg Whites and 3 Whole Eggs... Other than that... I can eat everything else in my meals... Just not Meal 1...
But Damn I love this so far... I've lost a little over 7lbs in water weight. Started this on Sunday... I have been getting some mild head aches from not having any sugar and carbs, but they are subsiding.
And energy is certainly not a problem on this diet... I'm doing over 1 hr of 120-140bpm bike and I feel like i could keep on going...
I'm getting sick of Eggs, but really am enjoying the weight loss so I'll suck it up for the 4 months that I'm doing this.
A sign of addiction (Withdrawal), prob the sugar .Quote:

Just for reference is anyone doing anything different with their workouts that is showing substancial gains...
I used to be a moderately big guy... never really had a great physique but lots of strenght... Since then I've let my self go a bit and jacked back up to 225 and around 22%bf...
I basically want to get back down to the 180 mark and just look cut and have a good physique...
My workout routine is as follows for at least the first couple weeks...
Cardio Every day for at least 40 mins
1 and 5: Back and Bis:
3 Exercises for each group of 3-4 sets
15-20 mins of Abs
2 and 6: Chest and Tricepts:
3 Exercises for each group of 3-4 sets
15-20 mins of Abs
3: Shoulders Legs
3 Exercises for each group of 3-4 sets
4 and 7: Day off: Cardio only (Soccer) on Day 4
No indirect source of carbs means what ? No carb-based food ? It's okay if it's a small amount naturally ?
Also for the salmon meal, is it okay to fry up some ground beef instead ? I'm 17 with a shitty part time job, I can't afford to buy salmon all the time to eat once a day.
Currently 230lbs @ 16% train dc style m-w-f, should i be following the outline for the 200lb or 250lb man? suggestions pleassssssssssse. Also currently on testE/mastE it will be run for the duration of that diet.

When it gets difficult is in the last 4-6 weeks but every diet beco
es difficult in the last 4-6 weeks.[/QUOTE]
Why does the diet get hard the last 4-6 weeks? I thought the Macro's stayed the same for the whole 16 weeks.

I gets harder because your body is telling you "its enough"(a question of survival so to speak)..and therefore your hunger is more apparent..and the weight loss comes to a halt practically until you change things up again.At that stage it usually means dropping calories..

thanks rickyboy36
The easiest way to follow DP's template is to get it from the horse's mouth. Check out his thread on rxmuscle. Where this board is helpful is when it comes time to tweak the exercise, diet, clen or just generally be supportive. Diets are not static (rats).

Have you ever worked with dave?
His diet gets harder in the less 4-6 weeks because he pulls fats and implements protein/veggie days only and at times has you doing 3 hrs of cardio/day + Posing
Does anybody have a link to what the last 6 weeks might be like, as far as P/V days, a sample day for a 200lb man.
There is no set schedule....it all depends on the clients condition...some need more p/v days some need less...the same can be said for cardio.
P
it definately depends on the day and conditioning, you get a feel for what needs to be done as you get more ripped up and closer to contest
Thanks for the other replies guys. I understand each individual may respond differently as the diet progresses. There is so much information on the internet about the core diet, that I thought there may be an example of what a p/v day might look like.
Hey Guys Please don't pick me apart for being fat but I am ready for change. And I was hoping for some guidance I am 6 ft 280lbs BF% is around 35-36 (yah i know gross)I have been going to the YMCA here in London for 3 weeks now and have been really enjoying the change in life style. I want to know if you guys can help me tweak this diet to better suit me so I can get rid of the extra weight. Thanks in advance.
no need to tweak the diet. go to the grocery store, buy the stuff, and follow it.
cardio 2ce a day, 45 mins to start, keep HR under 120BMP, bike works for me
