Is it ok to incorporate P/V days from the start of the diet?
3 P/F days, 1 P/V day, then repeat?
DP: Why suffer more than is necessary. If you can drop bodyfat by eating protein/fat every day, it's silly to make the diet harder than necessary. Plus, what will you do later if you hit a plateau?
____
Are you familiar with Art Atwood's new product Karbolyn? It is potato based instead of corn based what do you think of it?
DP: As far as I can tell, it's just new packaging for Vitargo - I don't want to restart this debate, but until someone does the research to prove me wrong, waxy maize is just as good.
_____
As far as future endeavors besides the supplement line, prepping athletes and this website do you have anything in the works or any thoughts of the future? mags? contest? Etc
DP: There are many projects in the works............ a T.V. show version of HEAVY MUSCLE RADIO will probably be the next venture!
____
Will you still do contest coverage, in the trenches, and lifestyle interviews?
DP: Initially we will be doing paparazzi and interviews at the big shows. Someday we might do stage shots and cover the shows from that angle. Expect training video in the near future as soon as the site starts taking shape.
_____
Anyway,does this look ok ?
Week: 1-4 Anadrol 50mg
Week: 1-16 test cyp 250mg
What's your opinion,test every 5th or 7th day?,if i'm thinking right cyp got just a little longer halftime than ena,so it shouldn't be a problem to inject every 7th?
Should i stay with 50mg anadrol or go down to 25mg ed?
DP: I'm not a fan of Anadrol. It's very toxic and will kill your appetite (not good if you're trying to grow). I would rather see you stack two injectables like test and deca or EQ. The results you'll get on 250mg per week will be minimal. You might want to try at least 2- 250mg shots per week if you want to gain size.
_____
What's your opinion on training volume for a natural bodybuilder?
I've done some reading on the topic and found that the volume needs to be less, is that true?
appreciate your opinion!
DP: You have to be very careful. A natural bodybuilder can overtrain much sooner than an enhanced athlete. Focus on 2-3 intense sets per exercise.

Hey Dave, to get in ketosis we are supposed to have higher fat then protein intake. So that fat can be utilize as fuel.. Can we still get into strong ketosis without higher fat intake? I'm just asking for general knowledge [note: ive been following your diet for more than 4 months now] great result.. Sometimes on weekend i go crazy with carb orgy.. but i make sure is clean carb like sushi and for few meals.. is it really damaging ? i didnt stuff myself too full. i just split a few clean meal with carb(about 250g of carb over 2-3 meal) rather than one cheat meal .. is that alright ? because i would love to eat more variety of food on that day itself. thanks dave
DP: You could get into ketosis with no fat, but you would never survive. Carb restriction is what gets your brain to switch into ketosis (using fats as fuel). You have to take in fats for energy as well as their part in many essential functions in the body (including hormone production). You're ruining your diet with all the carbs. My diet allows one moderate cheat meal per week.
_____
have been on your diet for 4 weeks and things were going great until yesterday when I started feeling sick. Today I have a fever and body aches.
Should I stay on the diet, or just eat normally until I get better?
DP: Stay on the diet and if you can muster the energy try to get some low intensity cardio in.
____
How do I delete my MD user name? Good question huh? Lol

Low carb? Bulk then diet?
DP: Try my ketogenic diet listed at the beginning of the thread. You might even be able to add some muscle while you lose fat.
____
Dave have you or will you be writing a book anytime soon? And will it be what Ron's book claimed to be. I was excited with his, but disappointed when I finally read it.
Species nutrition - when will you be looking at exporting it across the atlantic?
DP: I hope to write a book, but right now I have no time! And Species already does export all over the world. My new HARDCORE DIET and SUPPLEMENT DVD talks about my diet and supplementation theories in detail: http://davepalumbo.com/ProductsPages/videospictures.htm#new
_____
When on HRT, Should you stay on Testolyze or cycle it
DP: Stay on it for 16-20 weeks and then take a 4-6 week break.
_____
I had my appendix out tuesday last(feb 3) via keyhole surgery and i wondered if you had a take on how long before i should train again, i have asked my doctors and surgeons etc and their answers were ambiguous to say the least...I myself am considering next monday for my eager return but dont want to risk an even more prolonging injury like a hernia or something like that!
DP: You have to pin the doctors down for a solid answer. That is their responsibility.
_____
Im in my 5th week of a version of your diet and my weight loss has been slowing. My cardio has increased to 1hr this week and i am going to do 120min next week and start meltdown and chromium as well. Could you tell me if im doing anything wrong or if you have any other recommendations? Thanks alot, and also thanks for making a REAL "NO BULL" site for us.
DP: You can find my diet at the beginning of the thread - no need to use a "version." Increase cardio in 10min intervals each week if your fat loss slows. And chromium will not do anything unless you have a deficiency.
____
will tony freeman be better at the arnold than what he was at the O? whats your top 5 arnold prediction?
and whats the difference between omega 3 eggs and regular eggs? besides the omega 3's.....
DP: I predict Toney will WIN the Arnold; he looks amazing. My Top 5 is:
•1. Toney Freeman
•2. Kai
•3. Victor
•4. Branch
•5. Silvio
Omega3 eggs are exactly the same as regular eggs, except they have more omega 3 fatty acids (and less omega-6)
_____
Dave, I am (currently, have cycled in past) training naturally, and seeing good results. As soon as everything goes smoothly, I get sick. It seems I cannot go more than 6-8 weeks without getting a heavy cold that knocks me to the couch for 4-5 days. I can't tell if it's training related or not, I train hard and often but I was wonder if you could recommend some advice/supplements for boosting my immune system? I've always kinda had problems with illness since I was a kid, but now I HATE losing a week in the gym that regularly.
DP: You need to time you rest periods in the gym. 6 weeks of consistent hard training seems to be too much for your body, so you need to plan a few days of rest every 12 weeks.
____
1- i'm a low volume high frequency guy... Last time i went on the diet, i got weaker and looked flat all throughout the diet. Is there anyway to avoid this other than increasing fat (I did that, nothing happened)? or do i just have to live with it?
2- If someone wanted to start the diet and he was already on moderate/high carb and let's say 3000 cals, does he immediately drop to around the 2000 cal mark with no carbs? or should he slowly take down the carbs week by week til he gets there and continue with the diet?
DP: You're always going to look a little flat without carbs, but you also look harder so it's a tradeoff. I rarely have anyone report a loss of strength except for the last 4 weeks when the diet gets really tough.
I like to just jump right into the diet. Tapering is just procrastinating.
____
Dave could you please critique my cycle:
5'7'' 196lbs. 13%b/f
Following you're Palumbo diet for 200lb male. 6-8 lites of water per day
Sensitive to androgens so wanna keep them fairly low as possible.
week 1-4 (40mg anavar per day)
week 1-16 (300mg equipoise per week)
week 1-16 (300mg test cypionate per week)
week 1-16 (2iu hgh 5 day's on two days off)
week 1-16 (1 ml kynoselen per day)
DP: This is a weak cycle. There's really no need for a man to use Anavar. If you want a really mild cycle, I would drop the Anavar and take 250mg of test and 200mg of EQ two times per week.
____
Dave I'm allergic to raw almonds, cashews, walnuts, and macadamia nuts. Sounds strange but I'm not allergic to peanuts. Is there anything i can use to substitute the nuts I'm allergic too. Thanks man!!
DP: Extra virgin olive oil is your best choice for a substitution.
____
What is a good substitue for the salad... Green Beans? Broccoli? And what amounts? (200lb+ diet)
DP: Just eat the salad and stop over-thinking things.
_____
1) You often hear that it takes 2-3 months to see noticeable changes from GH, if I incorporate GH at 16wks out from a show will it help me lose fat immediately, or is this more of a gradual process?
DP: It's gradual. If you take 2-4iu's per day it'll aid fat loss and indirectly help you retain muscle because you'll do less work for the same results.
2) What do you think about Insulin use for cycles? Ive heard its the "strongest anabolic hormone available" making it the most potent builder for mass when used in your mass cycles, however, it is often called the "most dangerous" because it can kill you - - do you believe insulin should play a role in the avg juicer's arsenal, how so, what protocol, should we use with GH and IGF-1, - or should this be left to very advanced top tier amateurs looking to turn pro?
DP: Unless you have a superior metabolism, insulin will make you fat and bloated. Be sure that you really need it. Don't just try it because you heard it's great. If you can gain weight without it, then leave it alone.
____
What scientific studies, articles, and/or medical journals can I point my idiot friends to that keep on telling me that "roids will cause birth defects and permanent genetic changes" in users.. who barely train, but think because they took one biology class in college they can comment on the exact science of androgens and the science of endocrinology.
DP: Search the web. There is a ton of information on the effects of steroids.
_____
I know you are not a fan of orals, but surely they must have their place, right? What about for mass cycles - anadrol, and d-bol - seem to be touted as the best for rapid mass cycles. Arnold lived off of dbol! To what extent do you believe orals should be part of a mass cycle and under what protocol?
____
Hey Dave! Im just wondering if there will be any interviews with Martin Kjellstrom in the near future?
DP: We are going to do a ton of athlete interviews as the season gets going. Kjellstrom is on the list. He'll be sitting at my SPECIES booth at the ARNOLD.
_____
Dave, I am on your cutting diet and I only get to train 3 times a week (once a day) because of my crazy work schedule. I am not looking to compete, but want to drop body fat.
My question is, is weight training HIT style 3 times a week enough to keep muscle while burning fat? Btw, I always end my workouts with low intensity cardio for 20 mins.
DP: I would recommend 5 sessions per week, but you have to make the most of what you have. Those 3 sessions have to be intense and you have to get the most out of each rep.
_____
How much red meat should I take in per day?
DP: 1 serving per day is enough.
____
hey dave.. love the new site... i have a question regarding going on nights out/clubbing, you say you just drink water if you go out...thats fine.. what i was wondering is how or where do you get your meals in during the night out?
DP: If you're dieting, then you're going to have a hard time staying out late. You only get 6 meals per day and you need to sleep to optimize your performance.
_____
A quick question, i am planning on running Test E 500mg wk for 10 wks as my first cycle, in your opinion if this was your first cycle what would you do in terms of HCG, Ai,SERM etc..throughout the cycle and PCT.
Also Dave, if you do not mind me asking and feel free not to answer if you do not wish to, what actually was your first ever cycle?? and if you could go back would there be anything you would change about it now that you having superior knowledge!!
DP: The first cycle I ever did was Primobolan and Winstrol. As for PCT, check the thread I posted my entire protocol.
_____
Dave, Are you going to be at the ARNOLD coming up?
DP: I'll be there - look for me at the SPECIES Booth and wandering around representing Rx MUSCLE.
_____
My question is Dave, what do you think about taking a Brewers Yeast product as a cheap & natural source of amino acids & b-vitamins??? I read some old-school book that suggested using it as its packed with aminos and b-vits is natural and cheap.
DP: It's garbage. It would be like trying to put crude oil in your car. A quality whey isolate like my ISOLYZE protein is the purest source of aminos you can find.
______
triameterene by itself effective as a diuretic?
DP; It is but it's weak!
_____
as you can see i can eat a lot of food and handle carbs pretty good. the kcal from this diet in comparison to your diet for 250+ just doesnt add up. any suggestions?
DP: It's enough food for Toney Freeman, Evan Centopani, and countless others. That's what it takes to get in great condition.
_____
What is the protein powder that we all should use for the shakes.im right at 200 at 5'4"
DP: There are many high quality Whey Protein Isolates on the market but my Species' brand-- ISOLYZE --(http://www.speciesnutrition.com/order/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3) is one of the purest protein on the market. You get 27 grams of protein per 29 g serving and it is full of BCAA's. If you're looking to grow, add CARBOLYZE and 1tbsp of Macadamia Nut oil for meal replacement shake.
______
Don't know if you read this article, but I'd like to hear your view on this.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/waxy...tarch_myth.htm
DP: The Link didn't work.
_____
Dave, where in the hell can i find Mac oil? I've looked for it in supermarkets, Wal-Mart, online and can't find it. I checked on Species.com but it wasn't in stock. Online stores usually sell it expensive for a small 10oz bottle. because of this I've been using extra virgin Olive oil but I've been wanting to try Mac oil for the longest time! Any place you recommend?
DP: Species will have Macadamia Nut oil in stock by the end of February - it's on the boat over here right now. Check the website in about 2 weeks!
Also, on your mass diet Pre/post meals you said to take with Waxy Maize carbs, i'm going to try out your Specie's Isolyze, but I saw it has no carbs, what would you recommend to be eaten to intake those waxy maize carbs; bread, pasta, brown rice??
DP: Waxy Maize is a carb source - it's made from corn. It's a high molecular weight carb that shuttles nutrients rapidly into the muscle cells. Try CARBOLYZE (my Species brand of waxy maize) (http://www.speciesnutrition.com/order/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=13 )
______
I've been using Testostolyze for two weeks now, and was wondering what the best time of day to take it is? Also it says take 2-3 capsules a day, how should I go about deciding between 2 or 3? Thanks
DP: Take 3 per day (1pill with 3 of your meals).
_____
hey Dave, im recommending you and diet to everyone...im loving it..
a coworker is however worried he has cholesterol issues and is taking 10mg crestor a day...
HIS CONCERN IS THE AMOUNT OF EGG YOLKS PER DAY.....
SUGGESTIONS? does it matter, is there an alternative??
DP: Studies have proven that there's no increase in cholesterol if you take in up to 6 whole eggs per day. Amazingly you get all the extra health benefits of the yolk without any of the negatives. I would recommend he use 4 yolks and 6 whites for his first meal.
____
Will we still be able to get discounts on Progenex? Being that you guys introduced the company to the MD community. Or does Steve own the rights to that as well being that they were a Sponser for NBR?
DP: Hopefully Dr. Connelly will jump on board and sponsor HEAVY MUSCLE RADIO.
_____
I was wondering how your shoulder got hurt that you've referred to in the past ? Was it an injury, or just arthritis ?
DP: After years of heavy training, the joint just deteriorated.
____
I believe you have stated in the past, women should stay away from test b/c of the vir. effects, but what of this new thinking that low doses such as 25mg/wk for increase libido and other functions for women.
DP: I think it would be wiser of the doctors to give these women 5mg Anavar..............same effect, less virilization!
What do you find effective, if not this protocol, for a women with low sex drive and has been using birth control for 17 years. Also has no intentions of stopping.
DP: There is no need for a woman to use testosterone. Stick with low androgens like Anavar.
_____
Dave Steve Blechman made some greta points about the intake of fats blocking prostaglandin production (certain fats -not all fats)... now i know your familiar with how powerful prostaglandins are in terms of both protein synthesis and lipolysis.... now tell me why you don't think that eliminating all intake of anti inflamatory fats isn't a good idea for building muscle ?
DP: It's all about balance! Every chicken breast you eat has tons of the pro-inflammatory fat, ARACHIDONIC ACI, in it.........so much that you wouldn't believe it. Adding a nice balance of anti-inflammatory fats like fish oil and evening primrose oil only adds to the muscle-building and repair process since you need these anti-inflammatory essential fats to repair muscle cell membranes and make certain healthy prostaglandins!
____
I remember seeing you use a stability ball, what king of routine do you follow on it.
DP: I do some core training on there for abdominal control onstage and for general strength in the abdominal and lower back region.
____
On the female cutting diet..
Can I switch meal nr 4 and 5 so I'll have the protein powder meal after my workout in the afternoon, and then have the salmon meal as my last meal in the evening?
One more about the cheat meal: For a female - what's the max amount of carbs you'd recomend?
DP: You can eat the meals in any order. The cheat meal should be balanced and satisfying, but not excessive. Don't go over 100g of carbs.
_____
Instead of PB can Olive oil be used, if so how much?
DP: Match up the grams of fat - 1.5 tbsp of PB would match up to 1tbsp of olive oil (extra virgin).
Instead of lettuce can i just eat baby leaf spinach and add the olive oil/vinegar and top sirloin to it? Does the vinegar need to be apple cyder or plain?
DP: Any no-carb vinegar is fine and you can use the baby spinach.
_____
You previously, on your X radio show, mentioned that drinking diet soda would be equally as good as water.
I love milk, I drink at least a couple of pints every day of low fat and with my oats.
Is it ok to drink low fat milk on your diet as part of fluid intake?
DP: Milk is full of sugar, protein , and fat - diet soda has no calories. Stay away from the milk.
____
I´m not a bodybuilder, just a ordinary guy with a busy life trying to get slimmer for this summer. Early 30´s. Natural. Live in Denmark for the moment.
Do you have some pointers for me how to shed 10-15 pounds? Remember i´m a busy man only have time to train 3 times a week. A have had success with atkins diet before but I think its a bit extreme. But i do beleive in a low-carb diet. Diet tips for a "regular" guy? Supplements? Specific training/how to train?
I have read that a low-carb diet can make your test levels low - any thoughs about that?
DP: Try my diet listed on page 1. It's great for all lifestyles. Get everything you can out of your 3 days in the gym and never let off the intensity.
____
Have you heard of this Ketotifen? I read that is is supposed to inhibit the down regulation of beta receptors caused when taking Clenbuterol. Is there any truth to this?

_____
Hey Dave, can one eat the protein powder and peanut butter meal in a pinch, as in more than the scheduled 2-3 times a day? Say you get stuck out of the office where your steak or chicken is, but you have an emergency kit in your car with bottled water, protein powder and a jar of peanut butter
DP: DEFINITLY - just substitute the shake for one of your meals and stay locked on the diet.
____
Just wondering if a keto diet is something a strongman competitor should use to drop a weight class? I am currently 290 with ~22%BF, looking to drop to about 250 or maybe less if training is going well.
As someone who hass higher bf% than a bodybuilder, does a keto diet fit?
DP: It'll help you lose body fat while maintaining muscle and strength. Ryan Kennelly used it to break the all time world bench press record.
_____
Love the new site... what do you think about transdermals for fat loss??? my wife wants to use them on some of her stubborn areas..
DP: No one has come out with an effective product yet. So far nothing has proved to work locally - it all gets absorbed and enters the blood stream and becomes systematic. In the end, it's the same as taking a pill.
____
Can you use any of these in the diet? caffinated coffee, diet cola, splenda, how about salt & pepper & can you use regular large eggs suplimented with omega 3 pills? Thanks!
DP: Diet soda, crystal light, tea, and black coffee are fine. Stay away from splenda - it has added maltodextrin. Use stevia instead. Salt and pepper are fine.
You could use regular eggs and fish oil pills - but the eggs are much easier.
____
Dave, do you ship your species supps to New Zealand?
DP: We will ship anywhere in the world - of course your customs might be a challenge but you can look into that ahead of time.
____
Dave a couple guys are talking about benefits of T3 during a bulking cycle on one of the other threads. Does that make sense to you? If so how would you include T3 to add mass?
DP: It sounds ridiculous. Why would you want to waste calories that could be used for building muscle?
____
Dave- clarification please (because I'm slightly retarded):
1) Are you saying that AFTER the cycle ends, take a reduced amt of Test Enth for 2-4 weeks?
DP: NO.
2) HCG for 2 weeks AFTER the cycle ends?
DP: YES.
3) Aromatase (love Testolstolyze) 5 pills every day DURING the entire cycle, only the last 2 weeks of the cycle or for 2 weeks AFTER the cycle ends?
DP: Try 3 pills everyday during the cycle and increase to 5 for PCT.
_____
I'm a type 1 diabetic and pride myself on keeping a tight blood sugar control. Whenever I'm on a cycle though I get really insulin resistant and require a lot more insulin (even while following your ketogenic diet).
Do you (or Colette) know of any AAS that don't (or do so minimally) impair insulin sensitivity as much as others? Are there any that actually improve insulin sensitivity?
DP: All anabolic steroids cause insulin resistance!
_____
First off thanks for the new site, we all truely appreciate your help. whats ur opinion of keto sticks? i know that it different in men and women, but what is a realistic number for net carbs on a pf day?
DP: Keep your carbs around 40 and you'll be fine. Keto sticks are very inaccurate and I don't bother with them.
_____
what are the odds of having our posts erased after you answer??? That other site and now here it can be 4 pages of filler, when all we want to see is your answer since you quote our posts??
Thinking this would save space and make searching easier??
DP: You can search using my name as a filter and only see my answers. Also, I'll be posting all my ANSWERS daily on the ASK PALUMBO section of the front of the website (look for it in a few days)
_____
Carl Lenore / Superhuman radio had Ron Kosloff on this week, not sure if you listened but between this guy, and the 20 grams of protein max guy the information on that show is really confusing. I mean I like Carl, but the more I listen the more I hope no impressionable young aspiring bodybuilders are listening trying to gain mass. Just wanted your comments if possible.
DP: The latest research is showing that 25g protein is ideal to initiate the muscle repair process; however, that doesn't mean that more than that won't help provide the necessary raw materials to actually create the new muscle out of. Connelly makes this distinction as well. He says that only 25g are needed to tell the muscle to start repairing itself and to restore strength. However, the truth is that this 25g is not what the body will use to actually make the new muscle protein out of. For that, you'll need to consume considerably more protein!
_____
I have a question about sugars. I tried to reasearch myself for some time but I dont understand how come its ok to use sweeteners like aspartame like in diet sodas but we cant use maltodextrin? I noticed maltodextrin is in sugar free menamusil and crystal lite, at least the crystal lite poweder packages.
DP: Maltodextrin is not an artificial sweetener - it's a carbohydrate.
_____
Dave, Pork Rinds have no carbs.....I know there not BB food, but will it put me out of ketosis if eaten.....I love the crunching lol.
DP: They won't knock you out of ketosis but they are garbage calories that will halt fat loss.
____
Hey Dave, I'm 6'1, 185 lbs, only been working out naturally for the past 2 1/2 years (started at a weight of 145 lbs), and am looking to put on lean muscle. I'm interested in your Keto Diet, but also see that you've posted an offseason mass diet. I've heard Romano say that he's gained 20 lbs on the Keto diet, and am wondering if one can normally use the Keto diet to gain muscle while staying lean. Many people say that you cannot do both at once, but I'm interested in your input. Would I just have to add more fats to the Keto diet? Or do you recommend I just follow your offseason mass diet?
DP: My offseason diet is for fast gains. It's intended to minimize fat gain, but there will always be some. Romano's results were above average because he had been slacking on his diet and training. Once he got re-focused his body was ready to change.
____
Hey Dave what can I eat instead of the peanutbutter?
DP: Almond butter, cashew butter, macadamia nut oil,
____
Dave I am an mma fighter at 511 210lbs and was wondering if you could help me with a diet for my last six weeks of dieting. I have 15 lbs to loose and my diet consist of two whey isolate shakes with a tbsp of flax oil or natrual pb and a meal of 6 organic eggs and 2 chicken and spinach meals with added fats. On does when I am run completly down I will have a bowl of oatmeal arox 36 gram carbs. Keep in mind I do an hour of high intensity cardio first thing in the morning and two hours of jiu jitsu or boxing at night. I know my sport is not your specialty but any advice would help.
DP; Here is a sample diet for a 200lb man that is weight training, performing cardio for weight loss, and MMA training.
MEAL #1: 6 whole Omega-3 Eggs
MEAL #2: SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein Isolate with 2 Tablespoon of All Natural PB
MEAL #3: 8oz Chicken with 1/2-cup RAW almonds, cashews or walnuts
MEAL #4 (ONE HOUR PRIOR TO MMA TRAINING): SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein Isolate with 2 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil *
*on non-training days: 50g Whey Protein Isolate with 1.5 tbsp all natural PB
MEAL #5: 8oz Lean Beef with a green salad (no tomatoes, carrots, or red peppers) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Macadamia nut oil and vinegar
MEAL #6: SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein Isolate with 2 Tablespoon of Macadamia Nut Oil

I'm a 26 yr old natural bodybuilder (don't compete yet). In attempt to get as lean as possible, what's your best approach with cardio? I know you are a fan of low-intensity. That is what I usually do.
Is post-workout, low-intensity best? Just curious to know your opinion on the matter. Obviously i'm trying to retain as much muscle as possible.
DP: Low intensity cardio is the most effective way to lose fat and retain muscle. Keep your heart rate under 130bpm. The best time to do it is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, the second best time is after weight training.
____
This might seem like a stupid question but are you going to be putting out a magazine now as well as doing this site now that MD is done?
DP; We have no plans for a magazine - print is becoming more obsolete every day. But never say never!
____
Well done on getting this put so fast after your exit from MD.
Hope this one excels the original.
What is your opinion of high dose fish oil(50g per day) on a keto style cut.
DP: That's way too much and you'll throw off the balance of omega3:omega6 fatty acids. 6-8grams per day is plenty.
_____
Dave, my girlfriend is a recovering from anerexia. She is better off now but she has done damage to her body, internal organs and her bone density. I have been researching the use of hGH and IGF for her to try to help reverse the damage done. I have come across much information about how mentally/emotionally IGF has shown great results as well as with the bone density but I was wanting your opinion if it would be effective. She has asked her Dr about it but he only brushed her questions aside. Thanks in advance.
DP: Most doctors will not prescribe this to a young person. It's not morally accepted yet.......... However, I'd start your gf on a prudent diet of high protein, moderate fat, moderate carbs and I'd start her on a weight training regimen. If she's young, her bone density and lean muscle mass will return rapidly (with or without GH).
_____
I've heard some guys claim that Ethyl Oleate based injectables "don't work" for them...is that possible?
DP: If there's no drug in there they won't work!.....lol
_____
Hi Dave, I am on your diet and I'm just wonder if it matters what I use to "grease" the pan when I'm cooking eggs and the meats? Thanks man and hope to hear your reply.
DP: Use a drop of macadamia nut oil; it adds some great flavor and is not corrupted by the heat.
_____
In the February '09 issue of MuscleMag there is an article on carbs. In the article it states that waxy maize should be ingested on its own and not with protein. For the best results you should wait 15 minutes after taking waxy maize to drink your protein shake. What's your take on this?
DP: This has been debated a lot and I have seen no practical evidence to support this idea. It just seems like micromanagement to me. Have your waxy maize along with your weigh isolate and 45-60min later eat a whole food meal.
