HISTORY
The Pudding Diet could also be called "a fat fast". Fast not meaning "speedy" or "quick", but rather referring to "an abstention from food". It is important to understand where the idea of fasting comes from and to recognize The Pudding Diet as a form of fasting.
The Pudding Diet is a "modified fast". Modified by me, Paul Nutt, for the purpose of shedding the most amount of fat while preserving the most amount of muscle, in the least amount of time possible. I developed this "diet" in the midst of one of my contest preparation phases. I consider this a "kamikaze" approach; it might not be pretty, but it did work for me. My best result was 9 lbs of fat in 5 days, but don't ask me to duplicate this effect - it almost killed me... I'm serious. Again, I don't recommend this diet to others, but word has leaked out and I would rather provide the accurate version than leave people to their own devices and guessing at specifics.
**I have included an excerpt from Author Leonard C. Bruno to help you understand the concept of fasting. You need to understand this fundamental concept first.**
FASTING
Author/s: Leonard C. Bruno
Definition
Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from eating for an extended period of time.
Purpose
Fasting is believed by many to be an easy way of giving the digestive system a rest to allow the body to rid itself of toxins and wastes. It is also thought to stimulate the metabolism and promote healing by strengthening the immune system.

Precautions
Under no conditions should pregnant or breast-feeding women, or anyone who is diabetic or has kidney or liver problems, fast. Neither should anyone fast who suffers from an eating disorder, asthma, or tuberculosis.
Description
Fasting has a very long history, going back to Biblical times as a traditional means of purifying the body and the mind. It can be found in cultures as diverse as the ancient Greeks and the Native Americans, and was often used as part of a rite or religious exercise. In modern times, many people fast, or do without any nutrients for a certain period of time, for health reasons rather than for spiritual ones. The main argument offered by those who advocate fasting is that it is a means of detoxifying the body, or getting rid of natural waste and environmental chemicals that build up in our bodies. The other major justification given for fasting is that it stimulates both the metabolism and the immune system, thus it promotes healing and renewal. Both arguments for fasting are based on the belief that by stopping the digestive tract from having to work continuously, a major obstacle to the body's natural healing powers is removed. This, in turn, is based on the idea that it takes a great deal of energy to break down and convert the food we ingest, energy which can be better spent healing ourselves. In sum, proponents of fasting argue that it provides better overall health and improves vitality. The possible loss of unwanted body fat is considered a bonus.
There are many types and many degrees of fasting. The most popular is the juice fast in which only fresh fruit and vegetable juice is consumed. Some also drink vegetable broth and herbal teas. Since all of these liquids are high in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and natural sugars, some consider this to be a restricted diet instead of real fast. Others maintain that a true fast consists of ingesting only distilled water. Besides the ingestion of juice or water, fasts are also differentiated by their length.

A fast can last for 24 hours or for as long as one month. However, anything more than a couple of days should be considered to be a prolonged fast, and should involve the supervision and advice of a physician.
Fasting is a controversial procedure about which opinion is seriously divided. Medical school trained physicians argue that science has yet to prove that fasting actually eliminates toxins from the body, and that, since the body undergoes a series of changes during a fast, it should never be done without prior medical consultation. They also argue that in addition to the minor side effects, like fatigue and dizziness, even modified fasting on juices can sometimes cause the formation of kidney stones or gallstones. Proponents assert that the one thing that fasting can surely provide to an individual is a sense of control of one's life. For some, enduring a fast of any length is often the first time they have felt in control, and this can be a powerful and very positive feeling.
Common sense suggests that a one-day fast (supplemented with plenty of water) can be an acceptable self-care treatment. However, anything longer should require professional medical involvement.
Risks
Self-prescribed fasting of any kind can be dangerous to varying degrees. Some people become light-headed, dizzy, and develop headaches. Extended fasting can even lead to sodium and potassium depletion, and a fatal alteration of electrolyte balance.
Normal results
Proponents argue that fasting eliminates the toxins which interfere with the body's natural healing powers, and therefore works toward restoring health. Others dispute this claim and argue that there is no scientific evidence for its health benefits. However, as discussed, brief fasting can provide the individual with a rare sense of accomplishment and personal control and inspiration.

PUDDING DIET ~GUIDELINES~
|
|
THE PUDDING FORMULA (Version 1.0)
1 pint = 16 ounces = 2 cups of Heavy Cream.
1 scoop of Muscle Milk
3 scoops of Proto Whey
Empty 1 pint of heavy cream into a blender. Add 1 scoop Muscle Milk and 3 scoops Protowhey. Start blender. Take the lid off and watch the swirling circle in the center of the mixture. This circle will shrink as you continue to blend. When the circle shrinks to about the size of a dime, quickly dump the entire contents into a 10" x 10" square tupperware container. Cover and place in the refridgerator overnight.
Divide pudding into 4 equal squares. Each square is one serving. Eat 4 servings per day.

EXTRA MEALS?!?
Look, it's called "the Pudding Diet" for a reason, just eat your pudding - that's it!
Alright, fine. There is a small allowance for extra meals, but only EXACTLY as I state here.
Post Workout:
Women: 3-4 scoops of Protowhey mixed with water.
Men: 5-6 scoops of Protowhey mixed with water.
Optional Food Meal:
8-12 ounces of lean red meat, chicken, or fish; no marinades, salt+pepper only. Served with one small garden salad (lettuce, cucumbers, celery, spinach) with olive oil + 1 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice. Please don't ask me dumb questions like "are tomatoes okay?", "are carrots okay?", "are croutons okay?"... NO, champ..., just the stuff I said. Too complicated? Okay. Just eat the pudding and nothing else then.

NOTICE SOMETHING STRANGE HERE?
Some of you may have noticed that I do NOT make distinctions based on individual daily caloric requirements on this diet.
I am well aware of this.
Anyone want to offer me possible reasons why making adjustments based on individual caloric requirements is not critical to the success rate of this diet? E-mail me at extreme@bodybyx.com.

TRAINING NOTES
Far and away the optimal weight training protocol to implement under these specific dietary conditions is the XFL Program or another program just like it.
Ideally, when you are on The Pudding Diet, you want a weight training stimulus that exhausts the muscular tissue with as little stress to the connective tissue as possible. It is my current hypothesis that long term ketosis weakens the connective tissues of the body. When you perform the XFL Program properly, there is practically no negative stress on the connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, etc). Combine that with the fact that a properly implemented XFL Program will cause the most dramatic changes in body composition in the short term, and there you have it. This is the most rational route; maximize your fat loss by combining the Pudding Diet with the optimal weight training protocol.
I will say for discussion's sake, that maximal loading (working up to reps of 95%-105% of your 1RMs) can still be performed with relative success - in the SHORT TERM (less than 1 month)! What you will notice, after several days on the pudding diet, is that your work capacity is diminished - you fatigue quickly. Which means you will still have some strength to display on the initial 1-2 sets of a given exercise, but your ability to repeat efforts at that intensity will be severely compromised. Additionally, long-term combination of maximal lifting and The Pudding Diet will lead to connective tissue injuries (by my hypotheses).
