With this method do you do any weekend carb up? I also haven’t had luck with large carb ups. I have cut them down to just a few hours on Sunday in some cases. I kept them pretty clean but still was putting on some fat. I can’t have a successful bulk because I gain to much fat and have to cut again. I am interested in maybe incorporating some oatmeal or fruits during the week and not have a weekend carb up, while still basically running the AD. Any thoughts?[/quote]
As I’m sure DH will tell you, you’re changing things too quickly.

How so? With the carbs or the bulk and cut? This is week 15 for me on the AD.
Hello all!, imnew to this fourm so sorry if this is the wrong place to post this,
i have been reading about the AD and im planning on starting it this coming monday,
im 6,3 270, this means i need about 4860 cal a day for the first 12 days? abd of those 4860 cals i need 486g of protien and 324g of fat?
i just need some comfirmation on those numbers by people who know, i dont want to mess up:, i plan on going to the store today and was wondering what are some must haves from your experinces, besides eggs, veggies, red meat, chicken, i mean more like supplements

Never done macros and don’t count calories anymore, so not sure what it works out to. 27 years old, 5’11" former fatty at about 175 right now (small bone structure, I look like I weigh more than that)

Right now I do not do a weekend carb up. When I get to the point where I want to put some weight back on I will probably experiment with two small carb ups, probably sunday & wednesday. Like I said, the AD as prescribed with the one weekend carb up just didn’t work for me, but I’m no expert and I wouldn’t recommend you to make any changes just based on my experience. I don’t know if I’m officially “fat adapted” in the sense of the AD, but my energy levels are fine throughout the day so I would say that’s probably the case.

I have been on the AD since May 4. I went on the GSD from July 20 to August 2. I didn’t go off the AD to get on the GSD. I just applied the principles of the AD to the GSD, so I never went off the AD. What I meant by ate whatever I want was watching my carbs but not counting calories ( I only did this for the first few weeks to get adapted). After that I got all my macros and calories correct.
