Dave Palumbo diet help

[Demolish]

Hopefully someone out there knows about Dave Palumbo's diet
and if not, hopefully you can still try to help.

Stats at start: 5'9' 200lbs ~14 BF%

Ok guys, i was planning on trimming up my hips (love handle area) and my waist a few inches before starting my lean bulk
but i feel like something is off with my diet . I have been on it for 9 days and my waist has gone down about 1/4 inch but my hips have increased
by about 1/4 inch. I feel like they should both be down at least by 1/2 by down (according to others that have run the diet ).
I am weighting about 197.5 right now but i am not losing the fat i need to lose. I know you can not spot reduce fat but my hips and waist
is where 95% of my fat is stored. Also, low intensity cardio is recommended on this diet so i am doing anywhere from 25-45 minutes on the
bike 3-4 times a week and keeping my heart rate under 130bpm.

Anyways, i'll post the diet and the macros for each meal and the total of all the meals
together underneath it and hopefully you can help lead me in the right direction.

your border line too many carbs and cardio shouldn't be under 45 minutes. that might be keeping you from reaching ketosis. other than that looking good.
