Well, I think I’ve gotten over the hump. At least that’s what I’m going to tell myself. Sleep returned to normal last night, which I have discovered is my main indicator of the crash. Today is day 12, looking forward to a nice big bowl of oat bran and frozen berries tommorow! MMMMM. Whole lotta fruit, maybe a whole wheat tortilla or two. Okay, calm…calm…
I’ve been noticing that every day, the buzz I catch from my one cup of coffee lasts longer and longer. Dr. D mentions this in his AD, that fat burners have an improved reaction to caffeine. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this effect?[/quote]
BIG time. Less coffee, same buzz. Awesome.
Carb ub tomorrow! I’m gonna destroy some pancakes. Its day 15 on the break in phase, because I started on a thursday, so I’m pretty sure I’m fat-adapted.

I know the feeling Chuck, I’m not a coffee drinker but several years ago I was coming home from Texas and made it to Eastern Colorado and hit the wall. Grabbed one of those packets of ‘Energy Pills’ at the Truck Stop counter. No idea what was in those pills but I not only made it to my beloved Idaho wide awake but I didn’t sleep for days (at least it seems like days!).
njstomp, hang in there bro. the best is yet to come.
On the topic of good food to eat on the AD. Especially with fast food you soon notice who puts meat on the sandwiches and who sells bread. Subway is just terrible with how little meat they put on a sandwich. I like Wendy’s and Arby’s. Sometimes you can hit those 5 for 5 deals at Arby’s and get a good amount of roast beef. A Wendy’s triple is a good bit of beef too. Of course just chuck the bun. Mexican places can be good.
Nowdays with the general public aware of lo carb diets it’s simple to order just a plate of shredded beef with some lettuce. If they make a Taco Salad be careful they dont put tortilla chips or beans in it. If you go Chinese lettuce wraps are ideal. Likewise at a buffet broccoli beef is good. Burger King is ok. The hamburger has a decent taste. I stay away from McDonalds. The hamburgers there, without the bun and all the sauces, are kind of gray colored and really tasteless.

I tell them all the veggies and some mayo & mustard. Toss the bun and dig in. Side salad with it and you won’t be hungry for hours.

With ya Hoss,
There is a local place here that serves a giant cheeseburger. One of those that they put your picture up if you eat it. That is an AD lovers dream. Lot’s o’ beef. Another good place is one of those Mongolian barbeque deals. Just pack your bowl with meats and a few veggies, delicious.

Windsor, eh. Just a guess. Just returned from the beach. Nice beach. Lots of various size rocks. Spent about 20 min moving them all over the place, usually by ‘tossing’ them, pushpresssing them or shotting them. 2 huge ones, I’m guessing about 150 each, just picked them up and carried them for a few feet. First time I ever did that kind of thing. I may have to transport some back next time. Oh yea, I’ll be, um, gorging on some good carbs tomorrow, yea baby!!! yea!!!

Hey Barry, which place are you talking about? I might need to take a roadtrip and check that out. We’ve got one here in town called Big Jud’s, (I think). They’ve got one of those too. The last time somebody ate one it was on the news. Big mormon kid who just got back from god knows where and really really wanted a burger.

It is Big Judds. There is one in Archer and one up in Ashton. I didn’t know they had one down your way. Yea Big Judds is some good stuff. If you are ever in Ogden take the 21st street exit. Find Big Z restaurant. It’s tucked back behind a Chevron truck stop and looks like it’s hooked onto a hotel. They serve 1 pound of bacon when you order a ‘side’ of bacon. They have a six egg, 1/2 lb. of bacon omelette that is to kill for.
Amen to that, Veg! The constant energy level and awesome brain power/concentration ability is amazing, isn’t it! I’m in day 7 and really getting into the groove. I’m loving this more every day. Like I’ve said before, the other guys can have their 85-octane rice-cake fuel, I’m a diesel-burner from now on!

Quick update including some mild gloating and tooting of my own horn. My 18 hole round yesterday went amazing. I had smooth energy all day long , I even packed a few beef sticks in the bag to keep me stable. Well now, yesterday was the first full day where I felt great throughout the whole day. I can’t really explain the energy state I was in but it is far superior to what I previously existed in. As a very nice result, I was able to focus yesterday like nothing I have ever done before. I shot my best round for 18 holes ever with a 75. It was on my home course which is a pretty tough track by any good golfers standards.
I was just blown away by how steady I was all day long. Just complete comfort, my brain was just firing great all day long. All the swing keys that I work on were called up each and every time I got over the ball with only a handful of exceptions. So in any event, I really think that at least a good portion of the success of the day was due to the AD and I might just be a convert for life.
Have I mentioned recently that fish oil, flax oil, olive oil, and as many quality foods as can be eaten should always be preferred for the majority of the time…
Just a gut check for everybody. Baloney, hot dogs, and the like are OK in small moderation but please choose higher quality the VAST majority of the time. You’ll feel better, look better and your health will be better

I’m racking my brain, trying to think of a reason to get to Ogden. We used to go there to hit that theme park when we were kids. That’d be a thing, wouldn’t it? Go eat a six egg and 1/2lb. bacon omlette and then ride some roller coasters.
It’s always tough to follow DH on a thread, especially when he’s getting all domestic on us with AD recipes, but I thought I’d throw out another (very simple) recipe: mix 1 part cream into 3 or 4 parts cold water to make a decent lo-carb ‘milk’.

A simple but tasty recipe/idea:
Take cauliflour and “mash” it to your liking and then add butter and cheese to use as a substitute for mashed potatoes.
I was wondering if there are any benifits/drawbacks to taking Power Drive with HOT-ROX? I workout early in the morning and usually chase 2 HOT-ROX capsules with a serving of Power Drive. What are your thoughts?

BookemD,
Well, I would think one would probably end up with more of a “stimulatory” effect when doing so. I don’t really see anything wrong with this in particular, but if one were to ever experience increased heart rate or blood pressure, I’d stop, or if one had high blood pressure to begin with, I’d avoid doing so.
Today was the start of my second carb up, and I now understand why this diet is called the Anabolic Diet. I have never in my life be so pumped up during and after I’ve worked out. These pumps are as good or better than those I have experienced off of MAG-10. I am dead serious when I say this. I didn’t catch a pump like this last weekend, but If I can expect this from now on great! I can actually see the veins in my shoulders, arms and chest. This isn’t too big a deal for most, but I am probably the least vascular person ever. Man this diet kicks so much ass. Time to hit the pool!
Damn JoeBob, that’s great news. I’m on my first carb-up starting today, and haven’t really experienced any effects yet. I’ve only eaten 2 meals so far though. When did you first experience a noticable difference in your workouts after carbing up?
It takes me a good 6-10 hours to “feel” a little something. Especially feel a good pump on a Sunday. Takes me a decent amount of kcals to “fill up”.
DH
BD, OK on the FYI from Cy.
*I’m with Arctos on the acronym school remedial classes.

I’m doing my carb up today instead of tomarrow so I can make a family affair. I’m rocking mostly potatoes, chili beans and ground turkey burgers. (Turkey is my staple meat as I’m too poor to afford beef.)
I can say I feel much better doing this then when I have a monstrous eat attack and put myself into a carbo-coma.
