Dave? In Colette's thread a lot of female competitors (including myself) shared their challenges with nut butters and nuts in general. Some women over do it on the butters while some over do it on the nuts and then you have others who go overboard with both. It's gotten so bad that we had to stop buying them in order to stay true to your diet. Those of us who can't resist binging on nuts looked for substitutes like avocados.

Colette gave her explanation of why some women go overboard with nuts/nut butters. Can you share your reasoning behind this?

If you can't "hold" your nut butters (like an alcoholic), then switch to a tablespoon of macadamia nut oil in its place! There's very little chance you'll drink an entire bottle of oil.......lol

So, Dave!! What kind of birthday cake will you be having today?? OH! That reminds me, time to call and sing to you!!!!!

For a 130lb+ Female

MEAL #1
2 whole (OMEGA-3) Eggs with 6 egg whites

MEAL #2
35g Whey protein Isolate with 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter

MEAL #3
6oz chicken (ostrich, or turkey) with 1/4-cup (1oz) cashew nuts, or almonds, or walnuts (vary it)

MEAL #4
5oz salmon, swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, red peppers, or carrots) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Mac Nut Oil and vinegar

MEAL #5
35g Whey Protein Isolate with 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter or 2 whole (OMEGA-3) EGGS with 6 whites

**** You should have a cheat meal once per week (in place of meal #5).

I just think you need some protein in the morning. You don't eat any until your third meal!

Of course, you realize with the oatmeal and fruit you aren;t doing Dave's fatloss diet, right?

**cheddar cheese** · 02-17-2009, 06:45 PM

How long are you allowed to have cheat meals on this diet for if you are in prep?

All depends on the person - this is where Dave's talent as a coach is critical. For women there is no average - I have seen him yank it anywhere from 8 weeks out to 1 week out. It all depends on your progress.

I read a ?? in one of the other threads that I thought I would ask over here in the ladies section..cuz I've often wondered about this: You say (on your diet) our heart rate should not go above 130bpm when doing cardio. However clen makes my heart beat very rapidly. So, even though the heart rate is already up due to "stimulants", we still need to keep it below 130 for cardio? Every morning, just going up the stairs to get to a treadmill at my gym shoots my HR up to 153 or so!! When I'm not on the clen, my HR stays very low, in fact it's normally hard to even get it up to 153!! Any suggestions??

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

You got that right Dave! There's no way in hell I'll drink an entire bottle of oil.

Love the analogy!

**BadAssBarbie** · 02-19-2009, 08:45 PM

Hmmm......I wonder if Dave forgot about us women over here??

DP: After the first 5-7 days on clenbuterol you shouldn’t notice any increase in heart rate or stimulant effects. How much are you taking? Are you taking it everyday?
