Nate: Assumes Greg thinks his friends taught him what the palumbo diet is.
These threads always get out of hand, and you guys are basically arguing the same points.
There is nothing wrong with the Palumbo diet. the only thing is for regular people who are not always going to stay disciplined, its just going to mess them up later when they binge on junk after the diet is over. Same goes for any diet though, so not much you can do other than try to not "diet".
Seems like the original poster actually does fit the "maintenance diet category", and if he wants to be successful long term, he should aim for a diet that is more "year round" and not some quick fix to make him look good for a week in mexico. Anyone who can maintain 12% without depriving themselves shouldn't have trouble getting to 8% without a hard diet, but rather a slightly lower caloried maintenance diet
