Mr. Palumbo


I had to write you personally to tell you how much I have benefited from your low carb diet.  I have been using your diet intermittently for the last two years and have gone from three hundred and fifty-five pounds with a waist size of forty-two down to two hundred and fifty pounds with a thirty-six inch waist.  I am proud to say that my size thirty-six jeans are beginning to hang a bit loose and I may have to go down another size very soon.  Often I take breaks and follow a conventional meal consisting of moderate carbs, healthy fats and protein.   I have recently begun another round of your diet and I am on my fourth week of a sixteen week program and all is going well.

The best and most interesting aspect of your diet is how calm and satiated I feel. My wife noticed the difference in my mood.  The mood levelling affects of low carb was a pleasant surprise.  I do feel as though my mood changes when I consume excess carbohydrates. I find that I become moodier and more impatient if I consume excess carbs. 

Your diet works very well for a person who might react poorly to processed foods as I do.  The hardest part of your diet, or the most difficult for me, was the cheat meal day.  When I have a cheat meal I make sure that I do not overdo it and limited myself to a small one meal splurge, making sure to avoid consuming excess calories and fat but I still feel unpleasant, bloated and generally unwell for a couple of days until, I suspect, I return to a state of ketosis.

Currently I am pursing a Master degree from the University of Michigan in History and cognitively I feel as sharp as ever. Yes, those of us who consider ourselves intellectuals lift weights and follow bodybuilding.  Again I would like send my appreciation to you for helping me obtain my physique goals.   I also have been enjoying  Heavy Muscle Radio show and the New site, Rx Muscle.

Thank You
Michael Archer

"After working with Dave for the past two years and receiving his guidance through three national shows, I've come to realize just how much knowledge he has. Ii would take most people a lifetime to accumulate the wealth of information that Dave has shared with me over these last 24 months. And what impresses me the most is not the complexity of Dave's program. Quite the contrary; it's the simplicity. And that's the reason why I have enjoyed working with him and will continue to do so. It's Dave's innate ability to recognize the fact that all of life's questions have a simple solution. I value and appreciate Dave's knowledge with regard to bodybuilding and physique enhancement but I have a much greater appreciation for his outlook and midset which is both inspiring and encouraging to me as an athlete. It's the combination of this expertise and positive mindset that has helped me be my best on and off the bodybuilding stage."

"My husband Matt Direnzo and I met Dave about a year and a half ago at the 2006 NPC USA in Vegas. After that show, Dave revamped my training as well as my diet and the my body instantly responded. These changes included a reduction in body fat and an increase in muscularity.  In the very next contest I entered (6 weeks later), The 2006 North America, I finally cracked the top five (I came in 4th) and then 8 wks later, I placed 2nd at the 2006 NPC Nationals.

After a full year of training , dieting and Dave's SPECIES nutritional products, I took 1st place in the heavyweight class at the 2007 NPC Nationals and finally earned my IFBB Pro Card. In my opinion, Dave Palumbo`s knowledge is unparalled and  his SPECIES products are the best I've ever used. I'm happy to say, I've finally found the WINNING combination."

"I have been a competitive body builder for over 20 years, and over the past year Dave Palumbo has been my third eye.  His knowledge and expertise with regard to pre-contest dieting and cardio conditioning enabled me to buff and polish my physique with more prestigious tools and guidance than I could have ever accomplished on my own.  Each time he's helped with my contest prep, the package I present gets better, more ripped, and, surprisingly, more symmetrical.  With Dave's assistance, I trust that I'll reach my maximum potential without having to be obsessed with whether or not I'm ahead or behind schedule. Over the past year of working with Dave, my body has added a solid 8 pounds of muscle mass, I've dropped down to a reconrd low 3% body fat, and, all the while, I've maintained my strength and endurance.  It is with great respect and high regard that I recommend Dave Palumbo’s program to any athlete in any sport that wants to improve their physique, whether for competition or otherwise."

"Ever since I began working with Dave for my prep for the 2007 NPC Metropolitan and the NPC Jr USA, he's brought me into the best shape of my life for those shows.  Just when I thought I hit my peek of conditioning as a middle wieght he proved me wrong bringing me in HARDER AND MORE SHREDDED for my second place finish at my first Nationals.  With Daves diet and nutritional advice along with his great product line Species I was able to maximize my bodies potential.  Who knows what we will be able to do in 2008.  No words needed, physique speaks for itself"
