8 weeks out from first show
In the mean time I want to share with you some pictures taken at the gym last night after we trained chest/delts/abs. My wife Kathy and I are 8 weeks out from doing our first bodybuilding show. As you know, I have helped others get on stage but due to not having superior genetics I never had the desire to get up there myself. Well, my wife Kathy changed my mind! She wanted me to compete since she was doing her first bodybuilding show. You only live once so I thought I might as well give it a try. It's all about fun in the end anyways. The keto diet is tough but not so bad since Kathy is following it with me. We are soul mates for certain. Kathy is beyond awesome! 8 more weeks for me to hit 4% bodyfat. Wish us luck!!!

1) The Dave Plaumbo diet is based on 16 weeks of full blown ketosis. I do not believe in staying in ketosis for over 8 weeks-period! Been there-done that-never again!!!:tear:
2) The Slingshot diet starts out with carb-cycling when feasible so everyone can lose as much body fat possible in a comfortable manner before entering the more stringent state of ketosis.
2) Cheese and such is allowed with the Slingshot keto diet phase where as Dave's plan does not but I do believe in consuming as many healthy fats as possible (like Palumbo) as opposed to saturated fats, etc for both health and body fat purposes.
3) I allow those with a fast metabolism to have one extra carb up meal per week on a second designated day if desired.
4) With the Slingshot keto diet the once a week cheat meal is always included regardless of ones progress to keep t-3 levels high, increase energy levels and help maintain ones ability to carb up for a show where as Dave will take away a clients cheat meal if they do not lose enough weight for the week.
Other than that I think Dave and I are on the same page and I feel his diet is great for body fat loss. I feel by starting out with slingshot carb cycling, more muscle mass will be retained and body fat will be lost more easily in the long run because the body adapts to ketosis after around 8 weeks just as it does 8 weeks of carb cycling in a severe calorie deficit.
