Dave Palumbo Keto Diet(for females)

I am attempting to lose about 30 pounds and tone up. A friend has recommended the Dave Palumbo keto diet (obviously working out as well). I have looked up a little bit on my own but would love to hear more about it or even if there is something better out there. My diet for the past week or so has been eggs, fruit, veggies, white fish, and nuts(Macadamia and Almonds). After doing research on the diet today I saw that on the Palumbo diet I should not be having fruit at all.

Also could someone explain why the "replenishing" meal is necessary and what happens if you do not replenish?

I would love to hear more about this diet and maybe other things out there that people have seen work.

Finally, I would love to hear about supplements, the only thing I know about a whey protein shakes and that is where my knowledge ends. I would love something that would help my muscles repair faster and something that would help me burn fat and of course anything else you feel may help.

I would appreciate any recommendations!

Hi sweetpea, when you do a diet and eat less calories then your body need for maintenance it will become economical, he will adapt to survive like if you were going through a famine, that's why if you do a static diet, you will loose at first, then you will plateau, you need to make slight changes every now and then to keep loosing, it's also why most people gain back their weight very fast after a diet. So the replenishing meal will make your body 'forget' for a moment that you are on a diet and will help being less economical, among a few things it will boost your thyroid conversion T4-T3 and keep the diet more efficient without needing to push your diet even harder. So it's not only good for the mind, it also help to keep the diet efficient.

Coffee/caffeine capsules before training will help burn more fat, avoid the other fat burners stimulant as it hurts the adrenaline glands over time. But the body get used to caffeine very fast, so you need to take pause off of it and start back after a while, or not take some everyday.

A good quality multi-vitamins/minerals is really good to have, but I always says it's better to take none then take a cheap one. I would recommend ZMA before bed year round and 500UI Vitamin D per day. Creatine is also not bad to take. Omega-3 pills can be good, but there is some controversy and not everyone agrees, I still take them. That would be the basics IMO, I take them year round.

The DP diet is a ketogenic diet which means carbs are kept to trace only and less than 50g daily. So yes NO fruit only fibrous veggies for carbs.

I would suggest following the diet as he has laid it out and if you run into issues post your questions on here. I have had many clients men and women ruin similar diets and I have worked directly with Dave myself.

Cheers,
