I’m just starting a job as doorman at a club, and I’m looking for a good bar. The Metabolic Drive bar obviously isn’t an option. Taste is ranked lowest on my list of things I’m looking for in a bar. Anyone know of some good ones? [/quote]
you might look pretty stupid if you’re not sneaky, but i eat hard boiled eggs at my work
eggs are 33% protein 64% fat (you’ll find varying info but more or less this is correct) half a dozen eggs actually have almost exactly the amount of protein and fat I want in one meal, not to mention it’s just good, quality protein, prob a bit better than slim jims. You won’t look so weird eating slim jims though.
Got to get creative though, cook em at home obviously, then you can open em and put them in a plastic bag in your coat pocket, which I’ll assume you’ll be wearing in cold as fuck ass canada in winter. Then just sneak em when noones looking. Or sometimes I’ll take them with me for a bathroom break. Instead of taking a shit which everyone is entitled to do, I’ll shove half a dozen of em down my egghole.
This might seem stupid to many, but for me, noone sees me, I get quality protein, and it’s cheap too, gotta do what I gotta do i guess
If I’m going to pack food in a bag, I’m thinking bacon with cheese melted on it. Huge amount of calories for the volume. I’ll of course have around 1000 cals before work too. It’s a 5 hour shift on the longest night, so even like 400 cals should tide me over. Protein bar would be way less embarrassing if I get caught though.

better pack a fork or some wet wipes while ur at it, don’t want to be greasin up everybody’s id cards
I’m sure they allow one bathroom break, no? I’ve been dealing with this for a while and the shitter’s always the best bet, might not be the most appetizing, but the safest. seriously
I have a friend whose on a high carb diet and when he has to eat at work he mixes oatmeal with protein powder, wraps it in a tube shape with plastic wrap, keeps it in his pocket until time, rips off one end and squeezes/sucks it down in a few seconds. Gotta be creative…

In the book Dr. D says to cut 1000 calories the first week when cutting and 500/week after until losing 1.5-2lb/week. But this refers to one cutting after a bulk phase. I just finished the transitional phase and was at 3600 cal/day and I wish to change directly to the cutting phase.
I think cutting to 2600/day directly from the transitional phase would be a bit drastic, am I correct?
I was thinking something more like 3000/day to start, am I wrong?
Also, other question: I always read great things about this diet, so why isn’t everybody always on it like DH? It seems I read about so many people who have done it in the past and are starting up again, why did they stop to begin with?
Maybe it’s because they have stopped posting on the thread except in rare cases.
Have you not noticed that most vets only check in once in a while?
The people who post what you say, I’m guessing are only representative of those who quit and returned. The vets, in general, perhaps don’t feel it’s necessary to say it.
Just a thought.
AD
Yeah, I guess you’re right. Prob thousands of success stories who could care less about posting.

Yeah I just have school and shit now whereas before when I was posting more I was working an office job for summer so I had lots of intertron time. Lots of people still keeping it real though im sure. I find the people who post the most either have easier access or are very invested in the internet. Primarily they were forum posters before the diet and maintain their forum presence after starting.
On page 85 so far LOTS of good info back there. I intend on getting blood work done next week, and seeing as how I’ve been kinda ADing it for almost 2 months now (I did the Get Shredded Diet, which is almost the same thing) I am interested to see what they will be. I intend on getting blood work 3 - 4 months from now and seeing what happens.
I went crazy the last week and had a bunch of bacon and sausage, high fat beef and what not. I think I am going to reign it in, drop alot of the pork, use leaner beef and get my fat from olive oil, fish oil, avocado. Also keep my carb ups a tad cleaner (was eating pancakes with full syrup, butter, candy bars, pie, cake, french fries)
I will have the occasional bacon and steak, but I’m gonna try and keep the diet a little bit “cleaner” so to speak, while keeping the fats nice and high.

LOLrus, nice work. In related news: you can get some good, organic pork bacon from local and farmers markets around your area (where ever that may be) I’m sure. these tend to have a better meat to fat ratio but still give you all the morning kung-fu power of bacon.
But yes, cleaning up the CHO up (from perogies and crepes to lentils, beans and oats) up can really help you affect fat loss and glycogen pump. Also you’ll notice that when you keep your fats even (at 1/3 of each poly, mono and sat) you only have just enough room in the sat fat category for your eggs, bacon and relatively lean (relatively being the key) meats. Pork can also be lean because of the low fat craze so you won’t have to worry about pork unless you are doing some heavy cardio that day. Pork can really slow down your cardio/conditioning work because it requires so much energy to digest.

cheese sticks & slim jims. The protein bars of the anabolic diet.[/quote]
Yes cheese sticks and pepperoni are fun. Although I would not chow down on them consistently because of the huge content of non-organics (meaning non-carbon oriented molecules as opposed to non-natural) and/or chemicals that are used to create those delicious little treats. There are numerous coagulants, emulsifiers and dehydrators that are used to make the pepperoni that your body will not need for better health. So obviously a couple per week won’t kill you (unless it does) but I would not run around eating SJ’s like hulk hogan. there are traditionally made pepperoni that you can get but they will be a bit more expensive.
You can make some dope protein bars out of powder and nuts and butter etc. Some are in JB’s cook book and have pretty low CHO.
also, uh there is always a bag of nuts. DEEZ NUTS!!! just kidding.
Anyone else save their re-feed for today? I know I sure did! I usually have min eon Saturday, but I waited until today to have it. It was a longer wait, but I think it was worth it!
I’m trying to hold back a little earlier in the day here so I can have more freedom around dinner time. Just basic things like protein bars, maybe a few tacos in a few hours, and Surge after my workout today to start off with. I couldn’t resist having a couple pieces of candy corn and malted milk balls though. And those Oreos sitting there next to me look mighty fine…

I’m staying low carb today. I even did the same last year. This year I’m spending Thanksgiving by myself, so I shouldn’t have a problem.
I do a few carb meals on wed night. This week I did it on tues so I could join some friends for dinner. Indian food.
Been a while since I posted on this thread but I’m still on the AD.

I used to go out to the clubs with a steak wrapped in tinfoil in my pocket. I’d just go behind a corner and take bites threw out the night. Now I lug around food in my backpack. I have to eat every 3 hrs or I start to shrink.

Man, I have the same problem. I don’t don’t even need a watch, every 3 hours to the fckin minute I get that pain in my stomach, you too?[/quote]
Sometimes but usually it takes four hours for me to get that. When that happens and there’s no food around I’ll stop by a grocery store and get some sardines or lunch meat before I freak out. I usually carry cans of sardines and almonds with me.

before the AD i’d always down a liter of milk, prob not the greatest idea but way better than nothing, and easy and cheap. Now I’m known to carry hard boiled eggs, got to start eating more nuts though…
Lotsa new faces (avatars?) in this thread. I need to stop in more often. Glad to see Alpha Dragon still lurking about.
A quick note to guys trying to find convenient food sources while at work or other places. If taste can be abandoned for these times the food processor is your best friend. I eat probably 70% of my food machine processed. I throw. everything, EVERYTHING in the food processor in the same proportions I would eat it anyway with some water and whiz away until it’s like baby food.
Throw it in a glass jar with maybe some more water so it can be drunk for even more convenience and thousands of top quality calories a day are possible for a couple minutes worth of “eating”.
Not for everybody maybe, but very quick, filling and dense, not to mention digestible.

I used to go threw boxes of protein bars. I’d get em for dirt cheap at the dollar store.
