Starting Dave Palumbo’s Diet
I will be starting this diet very soon. I have just ordered SciVation Whey, MultiV, and Fish oil from ON. I will be doing 35-40 min cardio after every work out with low intensity as the diet insists. I will be taking no stims or supps besides for the ones mentioned above. I currently weight 180 at 5′11′’ and i have roughly 10% BF. I’m trying to drop to about 7% and then pack on lean muscle from there. I would like to eventually weight 185-190 at <7%… If you have any comments or tips let me know!! THanks guys!
Here is what my diet will look like-
MEAL #1
5 whole eggs (make sure to buy OMEGA-3 EGGS from the supermarket. They contain virtually NO saturated fat and tons of good OMEGA-3 fats); add another 4 egg whites to this (they don’t need to be the Omega-3 ones; you can use liquid egg whites)— these will be scrambled with non stick spray.
-45 min weight train session followed by 40 min of low intensity cardio
MEAL #2 (post workout) immediately after weight/cardio training?
SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 tablespoon of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar)
MEAL #3
“Lean Protein Meal”: 8oz chicken with 1/2-cup cashew nuts (almonds, or walnuts)– What could i replace chicken with any suggestions if i get tired of it?
MEAL #4
SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 tablespoons of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar added)
MEAL #5
“Fatty Protein Meal”: 8oz Salmon, Swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, carrots, or red peppers) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Macadamia nut oil and vinegar.– most likely i will be eating salmon or tuna (drained from the can) and broccoli or spinach
MEAL #6
SHAKE: 50g Whey with 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter or 4 whole (Omega-3) eggs and 4 extra whites

The diet works beautifully, I can tell you that! No joke though to keep the cardio low intensity (around 100-110bpm) One thing that doesn’t hurt is to throw in some supplemental BCAAs throughout the day. As for the chicken, if you get too tired of it get some extra lean ground turkey breast to substitute. Mrs Dash seasoning will be your best friend on this diet! Also, with the natural peanut butter make sure you check labels since some "natural" ones will still add extra palm kernel oil and sugars (Skippy I know for sure does this). Best of luck on it!
