i have recently dropped down in weight and bf at the start of the year i was 210 22% and bloated. im looking at doing a contest in october so i am going to begin prep next week but i would like to get some advice about my diet. id love to get on stage at 5% so im guessing my weight would be around 170ish.
im going to do the Dave Palumbo Keto diet of 6 meals.
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)

q1. cant find a protein powder that has 0 carbs and isnt 100 and gives you 20 serves. i have found gaspari myo which is 25g of p per scoop and only 5g of carbs. so when taking 2 scoops it would be 10g all up is this 30g of carbs going to affect the way the diet works?
q2. would you run this up to the day of the contest? or stop a week out and do a glyogen depelation and refeed?
q3. stim supplements like pre work outs and thermos..will they effect this diet?
q4. it says to have a cheat meal every 7 days at meal 6 before bed. what is this? like a pizza then sleep? how does that work i have read up on refeeding but would also like to know if that might be a goer..a 24 hour refeed every 12 days?
thanks in advance for the help
