8% Bodyfat

   This article is one that has taken some time to get to, namely since Ive been trying out a nutritional plan that I did NOT develop but wanted to evaluate for myself and on others, and now that I am convinced that it can be done, I will share it with you. This nutritional solution is pretty effective and gives you several options, and was developed by none other than Dave Palumbo. To be honest I thought I would HATE eating this way but it is very similar to the way I normally eat now. And you wont starve yourself eating this way, actually it forces you into a schedule which most people need anyway. Now, this solution CAN bring you to sub-8% bodyfat, but it will not do so overnight, or after a week, unless you happen to be starting at 9% BF, and if you are there, chances are you dont need this nutritional solution.
Chicken and Almonds FTW

There are only a few rules:
  • Eat every 3 hours (this includes within 30 minutes of waking and within an hour of bed)
  • DONT SKIP MEALS
  • IM SERIOUS DONT SKIP MEALS
  • Give it a week and see if you havent seen any results. (this assumes that your metabolism and hormonal levels are near normal)
 Here are your options, eat ONE of these every 3 hours.
  1. 8 oz. Chicken or turkey + 1/2 cup almonds
  2. 8 oz. lean fish (tuna, flounder, catfish, etc) + 1/2 cup almonds
  3. 5 whole eggs
  4. 8 oz red meat (ground beef, flank steak, etc) + 1 tablespoon olive oil
  5. 50 grams whey protein isolate + 1/2 cup nuts
Notes:
  • 1/2 cup of almonds can be substituted with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
  • you can eat unlimited amounts of these with any meal:
             Broccoli
             Kale
             Asparagus
             Brussels Sprouts
             Collard Greens
             Spinach
  • For every 10 lbs ABOVE 200 lbs, add 1 oz. protein to each meal (if you weigh 220, add 2 oz, so meal option #2 would be 10 oz tuna + 1/2 cup almonds)

Thats really all there is to it.
Thanks to Tim Ferris for your wonderful book, to the genius of Dave Palumbo, and Sean Esna for the stimulus to write this article.
