If no one read my first post, I figured I’d ask again just in case. Has anyone here used HOT-ROX Extreme on the AD and if so, have there been good results with it? I’d like to order a bottle soon, but thought I should wait for feedback from you guys first - Thanks !

Do it. It won’t hinder or harm you and can only benefit, if you need the help.

Hey guys. Im about to start a 6 week cut, just to lean up a little bit. My question is…Where do I drop my calories from? Reduce the weekend carbs or the weekday fats, or both?
Also, need some advice on cardio, in terms of type and timing. I used to get into HIIT, but not sure if its ideal on this diet??..any help will much be appreciated.

depends on how many days u have been on ad lifestlye … incase if u are on the ad for more then 1 year then u cant cut the fat but allways supplement with fish oil as it will help you as photoguy said …the best deal will be 2 days a little low fat ( mind little means just a little cut ) and 1 day of enough fats . on carbs …will be better if u do a 1 day carb up or …
every wed and sunday u can have 1 meal carb meal clean carbs ofcourse ,if u go for 2 meals that is wed and sunday …then its better u stay away from hiit …and if u do a say for example full sunday carbup then …u can do 2 sessions on mond and tuesday keep the fat intake enough this days .
if i was you i would done them after my weight training. amd rest all days brisk walking either on a empty stomach or after my weights . keep protien intact dont change it …and play around ur fats …for example if every meal on a normal day u take 2 tablespoons of fish or flax or olive oil …on low fat days just take 1 spoon .
rotating fat intake the suggestion from photo guy is very good hope it helps …any further questions ask us all will help you

and yes along with bcaa…if u can manage glutamine can be best ally …because it will load the protien in ur muscles as carbs do after ur post workout it can really help
and …
i would also try cut all products like bacon and any kind of sausges also as sodium content is preety high in them

Does anyone eat Coconut for a Fat on the AD?
If so I just wrote a recipe for
Coconut Macaroons with 1 g of Net Carbs each and 9 g of fat from unsweetened coconut.

Well I just started AD today and let me tell you, I love it. I was on GSD earlier to cut down for summer (8 weeks worth) but realized I should of just stayed bigger and kept bulking. So now I get to eat lots more on AD of all the tasty meat that I love. Adding this to Westside Barbell for skinny bastards so hopefully can really start packing on the size.[/quote]
I posted a thread in the Strength Sports section…Im doing AD and WSSB…despite not being a skinny bastard.

Hey Il, and Pauli,
what’s up? Good to hear you guys…
so my morning weight broke under 190 today with a reading of 188. Bodyfat is at 14% also. I was dropping the fat cals, then caught myself before I went too fast.
This will be my third carb up this weekend. I am at around 2000-2200 cals ea. day during the week, and maybe up to 2500 during carb ups. I want to keep dropping the fat cals/%, but thought maybe I should wait till after the fourth week. What do you guys think?
I believe I’m fat adapted, but don’t want to jeopadize anything… I’m leaning out, but have a little more to shed just around the chest and handles to really look good.
It’s not much at all, but I want to get as shredded as possible, maybe down to 175, which should put my bodyfat under 10% I am thinking…
So, can I keep choppin cals to like 1800, 1600 for this, or should I wait another week?
thanks in advance for any help you two.. The workouts are going great, and the muscle gains are sweet, almost equiv to being "on" a mild cycle..lol. Love it.
best, ToneBone
I’m on Day 3 of the AD and already I’m noticing a difference…for one i am STARVING…which in my case is good - this is when I know my metabloism is working - when I was on the RD I had to force feed myself so I’m enjoying food again!!!
If i just did 3 weeks of the RD should I do the 12 day induction or take a carb load this weekend?

in those 3 weeks did u do a carb up ? and when was the last u did ? depends on that if u did rd for 2 weeks without a carbup …then u can surely do a carb up now imo . but if u have done carbs up already …and if u have some good amount of fat to lose is better u do a 12 day induction again
Hi!
I’ve started reading this thread but i’m still on page 17 
I need some help… i bought some jello that’s supposed to be “light”.
But it says "ammount of cho per 100gr of ready product:
8.1g carbs
< 0.1g sugars
8g polyols
The ingredients are: maltitol e962, jelo, acid regulators, flavours, vitamin c, salt, coloring e102.
The only one that seems relevant is maltitol. My question is, is this carb accountable for the 30gr value ?
I’ve read in wikipedia that it doesn’t count, but then i saw a website that said it had a very high GI… which is it ?
Cheers!
The website is this one: Net Carbs
Thanks!

Yah my last carb up was last sunday so it’s only been 3 days on AD - i will wait the 12 days then…thanks!
Hi Everyone, I have a few questions as I am trying to tighten things up:
I am currently taking two tablespoons of Carlson’s Fish Oil per day - is this too much or too little? Secondly, I use a half-tablespoon of it mixed in to my whey isolate powder for recovery - is this appropriate or should I just ingest the whey (25 grams) plain with water? Thanks!
Kari,
How long were you on the RD…3 weeks?
What was the longest (in days) that you went without a carb-up?

Hey guys, first post on here after reading nearly all the pages of this threat - real good stuff here.
I started this diet last week after hearing that a friend of mine was on it, and liking it a lot. I couldn’t imagine how energy could be sustained on a low carb diet like this, but he said he had no energy issues at all and was actually getting stronger on his lifts.
So I researched it, read the AD in pdf format, and this thread. I’m so far loving this way of eating. I’ve been trying to burn fat since January 15th and employed a carb cycling approach, which was moderately effective but I was still short of my goal (I don’t have a weight goal, just maybe bf%).
So I started the 12 day transition phase last monday, getting 18x bodyweight (will be keeping this up for a long time until I am fully transitioned). I have one question. Has anyone else transitioned from a low-carb or carb cylcing diet to the AD, and if so, was your ‘crash’ minor, like mine?
On the 5th day, last friday, I was a little more tired than usual about 4 hours after waking, while at work. I got a slight slight headache but it did not last long at all. Basically, it was nothing like the usual crash i’ve read about so far. I felt fine the rest of the day until around 5pm when I felt a cold coming on. Nothing big, just a minor head cold (still feeling it now).
So anyway, was this my crash? Anyone have a similar experience? I believe my weeks-long diet with cycled carbs prior to the AD has something to do with not getting a big crash like others.
My daily breakdown has been around 60% fat, 35% protein and the usual 30g carbs. Looking through my fitday log (I have been posting on it since January and can make it public if anyone would like to take a look) the only time I went over the carb limit was the first day, and it was only 3g over. I don’t have any ‘hidden’ carbs as i’m extremely careful with what i eat and with logging everything down. Thanks for any insight, and sorry for the long post!
Yah I was on it 3 weeks - but to be honest I was probably only about 85-90% strict - my cals came up to 1200 some days so…but…i’m not really any leaner now than I was 3 weeks ago - maybe 5-7lbs lighter on the scale but i look exactly the same - i think i was losing muscle on the low cals…
also - should I be hungry on the AD all the time? I feel like I could eat all day and never be full…the last three days have been 100% with ratios and i’m at 1800cals each day…havent had a workout since starting which sucks but that’s ok…on my lfiting days i will up cals to 2250…so??? i’m not complaining about being hungry - just find it weird cuz i’m eating way more than I used to…

I’m just a newbie to the AD and only on Day 3 but I am coming into it after about 6months of “low” carb (under 100g) and 3 weeks of the Radical Diet(1000cals) - and I haven’t noticed anything other than MORE energy and a bigger appetite since last week. Maybe I will crash but right now I feel great - actually I’ll be surprised if I crash as I’ve been low carb for so long now…

I went strait into the AD from bodyopus, a very strict carb cycle diet where you go into ketosis. Never had a crash on the AD and its been over 4 months. Let me remind everyone that on the AD you never are supposed to get into ketosis.
By doing this you utilize ketones for energy and put off true fat adaptation which can take up to 6 months. Just reiterating the words of Disc Hoss. I’ve read stuff lately where people are getting keto sticks, talking about eating keto and having keto breath.
Granted you can burn a ton of fat on a keto diet but if you go this route your not really on the AD. On the AD you get used to burning fatty acids not ketones.

honest question… how could people avoid being ketonic? i mean, as far as i know, you can’t directly force yourself in or out of ketosis beyond consuming carbs.
I ask because i did the Keto Diet AND AD, separate times, and during Keto I was in Ketosis, and during the AD I wasn’t. But I pretty much ate the same type of foods. A shitload morein the AD, however. maybe thats the key? I have no idea, really.
