Carb Cycling has become a huge sensation in the world of bodybuilding. And it is also starting to catch on in the lives of normal people every day. However, people are starting to wonder about the Palumbo diet and if it shares anything with the carb cycling diet. You are about to find out right now.

Basically, the Palumbo diet is an extreme variation of the carbohydrate cycling diet. What it does is you do NOT eat carbs during the day, only before your weightlifting workout, and once a week at your cheat meal.

Like carb cycling, this diet is meant to trigger ketosis in the brain, which will start using the ketones in your body, which are stored in fat, for energy. This will burn your fat at an accelerated rate while not consuming carbohydrates.

Then once a week he gets his cheat meal, which recharges him and starts the process all over again.

So yes, the Palumbo diet is a lot like carb cycling, except maybe more on the extreme range of things. But if you’ve ever seen photos of Dave Palumbo, you’ll know that it seems to work quite well for him. After all, he is a bodybuilder and has won many competitions in his career that certainly test his methods. Many other bodybuilders have adopted his diet and used it with great success as well.

It’s really hard to say who came up with this idea first, but from the results I’ve seen, and if you have the willpower, you’ll have great success with this diet plan. Just be careful and don’t overdo it, if you don’t feel well during this plan, see a doctor right away.
