I’ve seen (on this thread) where fellas have found it on eBay for around $7.00
I’m not trying to ‘bully’ you into a purchase, but it (the book) is something that you’ll refer to time and time again. It really is worth having.
Besides…then you too can post with confidence!!

i know im sposed to get more fat than protein but i figured that if i get a significant amount of both and keep my carbs low i should b ok[/quote]
Keep in mind you have to get more calories from fat than calories from protien, not more grams of fat than grams of protien. I didn’t do the math but it looks to me like you’re getting more than 60% of your cals from fat now. And definitly check ebay for the book, thats where I got mine.

I just bought some today. It is shipped out Priority Mail, so hopefully I’ll get it by Monday or Tuesday.
I wish I would of read more of the website, because I just found out that if I bought it at a local store, I could of got 50% back on my first purchase, just had to send in the receipt.
Oh well.

Like someone else already pointed out, this is what you want. You’ll end up eating more GRAMS of protein, but you’ll end up eating more CALORIES from fat.
Keep it up! 
wow thanx guys. i didnt even think bout getting for cals from fat as opposed to grams, b/c if it was grams, there would be no way i could do that. ill look for the book on ebay. and also, i have no problem about posting with confidence, i dont know any of u guys, so its no big deal lol
Down another 1.5 lbs from last Friday. Friday at my workout has become my “official” weigh-in time. Strength and muscle mass are increasing – even got some complements in the gym today, pre-carb up. Love it!
Currently, I’m using Fitday.com to log my calories and food macros. The next morning I’m moving the macro info to an excel spreadsheet where I can easily view weekly averages for anything I want, kcal, cho, fats or proteins. For instance this week (I start each week on a Saturday with the beginning of my carb up):
carb up info – 5000 kcal/day, 140g fat, 600g cho, 330g protein.
weekly kcal:2900, carbs sub 30, protein 325g and fats around 170g.
I find it to be a very helpful tool for analyzing the past, looking at workout progress when compared to kcal intake, too.
Hope everyone has a great week. I’m headed to Vegas. I should be able to find some carbs there over the weekend.

hey my friend dont worry u dont have to spend 40dollars …u can go on ebay and get it …i got it for 1.99dollars …so dont worry search on ebay ok …by the way …i think the book is imp but the thread has much more info on the diet by the great guys like dh and others…if u read the entire thread u will get a cool info on everything practically every question which pops in ur mind
ya i got to about page 19 or 20 before going on the diet. i kinda messed up yesterday, but im back on track today. i figure if i get the book it would be easier than having to go through pages and pages for just a simple answer. this week im going for around 4000 kcals a day, then next week ima go something like 2500, 2800, 3000, 2800, 2500, then weekend carb ups around 5000 carbs.
my goals are to stay in the 210-230 range, but change my body composition. right now im taking Carbolin 19, Alpha Male, and Flameout.
does anyone elses macro’s not line up with their total cals?
i know that sounds weird, but iv been recording stuff straight from the labels, and im not messing up the serving sizes either, but this is wat im coming up with for today:
calories: 4041
fat g: 317
cho g: 27
pro g: 306
but in actuality i should have for calories: 4085
fat cals: 2853
cho cals: 108
pro cals: 1124
anyone else have this problem?

The only think I can think of is if fibre isn’t counted against your caloric intake as technically it’s not absorbed.
Just a guess really.

PS. Carb up on track for this weekend with already 100g of Mueslix in me!

306g (protein) x 4 (calories per gram) =1224, not 1124 like you have. Just a little math mistake. No biggie
I don’t know where you got the 4041, though.
Hope that helps

Is this your first carb up? If so, how ya feeling? I remember the first time I was on the AD and had my first carb up, I felt like I didn’t want to eat much and felt out of it for the day. I know its recommended to have most of the carbs after work because it can make a person feel that way.

I know where you are coming from. LOL!
Anyone else sweating more often than usual (on other diets)?? I don’t think my sodium is high at all, but I seem to sweat a lot at the gym.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: I did some more searching and found out that DH (Disc Hoss) said, “The AD (and all low carb diets) are natural diuretics”. So, this explains the sweating.
Just thought I’d share this quote from the Anabolic Solution (Anabolic Diet) Ebook about eating less protein on the weekend:
“Studies have shown that protein utilization after relative protein restriction rebounds to higher levels than was present prior to the restriction. Studies have also shown that in times of protein depletion, the body likely conserves muscle protein and increases the burning of fat stores for energy. This adaptation is usually lost when body fat stores near exhaustion.”
Just thought I’d point that out to those of you who think you need LOTS of protein on the weekend
Even though it says the percentage of protein should be between 15-30 percent, Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale says that he has seen great results from Anabolic Dieters taking in only 7-10% of daily calories of protein on the weekend.
Hey all . . .
This is my second carb-up weekend but really my first 36 hour session. Last week’s was a brief one as the timing of my induction phase didn’t sync up well with work and I wasn’t really keen on passing out at my desk.
I think the diet is working however I’m not that keen on the insane amount of water that I take on board after my carb up. Pauli D mentioned it earlier and I can’t help but re-ittorate it. Does this fluctuation subside or is it a permanent roller coaster?
Thanks,
Sasha
PS. Sushi is a fantastic loading food!
thanx guys. ya i did a couple of math mistakes, i was reviewing some of my recordings in my food log yesterday and i messed up a couple of things.
also, thanx for the ebook, i appreciate it man

Dr. Mauro says that once you start smoothing out, you should stop the carbing up phase. I believe this is why the carbing up stage can last between 12-36 hours. It might be hard at first to determine when to stop carbing up and to go back to high fat/high protein/little carbs, but I’m sure you will be able to tell as the weeks and months go on.
I would assume that if you have an all-out binge fest on carbs, you would only want to be carbing up for 12 hours. If you have clean carbs and don’t load up on the sugar (skittles, white bread, etc.), then you could probably go for 24-36 hours.
This is just a thought.
