And here`s the good news, and one I can almost guarantee will work... The Palumbo diet is not the only diet that works. As a matter of fact, if you`re not planning on doing a competition, it`s totally unecessary. As that`s what it`s designed to do. And if you`re not competiting, why the hell would you want to put yourself through such misery. Also if you`re natural, forget it bro! That statement has been backed up here as well.

Say you restricted all carbs from your last 3 meals in your day and they were just protein and fats, the first 3 protein and carbs, this will work wonders. If you can train in the morning, after breakfast it would be best. As you know post workout is an ideal time to jack up insulin with fast acting carbs and protein. It`s also very safe to say the next meal has a need for carbs and they won`t be stored as fat. Follow that up with the protein fat meals, you`ll be fine. Most easy way to get lean without suffering the madness of a keto diet.

If you train at night, simply have protein and fats all day, until your pre workout meal which will be protein carbs, then the post workout as I said. If there`s time for another meal it can be either protein and carbs or protein and fat, depending how easily you get lean, you`ll have to experiement to see which works best for you.
