December is coming to an end, which means it's time to end my bulking diet. I started gaining weight, from 140lbs, on Thanksgivings in '08. It's roughly been 13 months, and since then, i gained 61lbs. Starting January, i'll be cutting weight; in hopes of reaching 6-8% body fat. To do so, i'm using a variation of the Palumbo diet. This diet, devised by Dave Palumbo is a variation of a keto diet. It's a high protein/ moderate fat/ low carb diet, which i have used before with success.

Meal #1: 4 omega-3 eggs, 4oz of turkey breast- 18.5g fat/ 4g carbs/ 48g protein.
