trying dave palumbo's diet, critiques please

I think you missed the point - I was trying to suggest that they carb load across a series of meals in order to ensure that the carbs are transported to the muscles. I was suggesting that 500 grams of carbs in one meal may not achieve this.

The use of marathon runners as an example is only because they are one group of people who carb load. I'm not sure if it is relevant that my example was based on "disgusting marathon runners body".

the carb load is done specifically for bodybuilders. no bbers want that look. if they do they are marathon runners. not being a prick here, i mean it with no malice to you. i think a runners body is their goal and that is cool but they look gross and i would expect them to say bbers look gross cause its not their thing. this diet by dave (who if you are unaware is extremely intelligent and knows the science behind this material, not the notions) is designed to cause a cascade of effects by eating in this manner. spreading it over many meals is against the ckd science for the most part. body opus recommended a 48 hour carb load but dave's is not. it serves a different purpose.

runners carb load for a different reason (my point) to have a specific purpose. bber's do it for very different reasons. i understand the theory of carb loading over the day, i carb cycle daily/year round so i understand what you meant.

knowing why he recommends that is the thing. you can do a google for the whole thing. its good if you like ckd and do alot of drugs.

OK - I will read into it out of curiosity (also, I was thinking of Arnold Swazneggers Bodybuilding Enclopadia where (on this occasion increasing carbs just before competition) he advocates spreading it over several meals in order to ensure that the carbs are transported into the muscles

500 carb cheat meal? that likes eating 70 oz. of cheesecake. also, i would never use a diet that someone on that amount of HGH/steroids uses, simply because it wont work the same for someone who is natural.

I guess it all depends on your body and everything else you eat. My doc says eating eggs won't increase my cholesterol, but if you eat other foods that have cholesterol in them, then it will raise. I usually eat one or two whole eggs and a bunch of egg whites.

"moderate egg intake should not be rigorously restricted in healthy individuals."

Obese people, diabetics and people with existing cholesterol problems may have to restrict their dietary cholesterol. Otherwise the way you are doing it is ideal.

The diet doesn't propose a "moderate" intake - the article refers to moderate as 1 or 2 eggs.

what dave is or is not on doesnt matter, this is called the palumbo diet bc it is what he recommends, he trained my friend for a show in 2003 and he ended up looking fantastic and had no hunger cravings on this diet, so i figured id try it and wanted opinions....5 days in and so far so good, strength has gone UP!, looking tighter, and best of all im not craving carbs at all

That forcefeeding/GH gut that Palumbo had might have been from those 500 gram carb meals...... lol .... he looked like a ninja turtle a lil bit

Eating all those eggs will be boring. Can't you add in some sliced turkey breast? Your cholesterol will go through the roof if you start eating 12 eggs a day.

Wrong.

I think he recommends those omega-3 eggs so they are supposed good fats and not bad cholesterol.
