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.



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.


The discussion was the keto diet is unhealthy, extreme, eliminates complete food groups, vitamins, fibre, is only useful for competing BB etc etc...NONE of these statements is even close to being true and the fact that they have been made illustrates that the topic being discussed is misinderstood to a vast degree.
The keto diet like ANY other diet is a valuable alternative to ANYONE who wants to shed a few pounds, get healthier and feel better. As well like any other diet you cannot eat willy nilly when you finish that would only make you a fool and a fat one at that.
