Can You Build Muscle on Frank Zane’s Diet?

Rob makes a great point (as usual!). My only real observation is that Zane’s diet strategy isn’t that far removed from Vince Gironda’s, and he appeared to prescribe a form of cyclical carb dieting for most of the training population. Carb cycling isn’t that revolutionary and, I would go out and say, actually works (it certainly has for me in the past). Zane’s diet was very modest in comparison with a huge chunk of the bodybuilding population and, as far as the latest research around protein consumption, is not far off the mark.
