So you dont spike your insulin w/ carbs + whey PWO on the anabolic diet? I thought this was a given rule to maximize muscle…maybe not
And is there a formula (using bodyweight) to figure out how many grams of carbs to shoot for on Sat & Sun? [/quote]

Good to see some of the vets still haning out. I’m on pg 100 or so of the thread and it seems like the posts are becoming less and less informative, but there are still some gold nuggets in there. I’ll eventually read the whole thing. Loving the diet so far.
I kept my cool on Thanksgiving and had my turkey and veggies + olive oil. I saved my pie,stuffing, cranberry sauce, and yams for the weekend.
I am going to start carbing up much more clean this weekend (oats, lentils, fruit) and see how that goes for my gains. Currently running “Westside for Bodybuilders” which can be found under the Favorites in my profile. I’ll keep you guys all updates on weight and strength gains.
Almonds & Pistachios
I love their portability, and pistachios are amazingly good. I sometimes worry I may be getting too many carbs from them though.
I used to eat turkey bacon every morning, but I’ve found it’s too expensive for the amount of cals, and so I have switched to non-breakfast foods (not a big fan of eggs either).
On the carbup day, I like to go for double meat subway subs. Also Sleeman’s honey brown beer on tap is great.

I am prone to gout and this diet does not bother me one bit. Have actually not had one bout since I started it.[/quote]
I too am prone to gout, but this diet causes frequently flare-ups. I’m trying to see how low I have to keep my protien intake to keep it at bay. So far it looks like it will be much lower than 1g/lb of bodyweight(I’m 265#). I’m also trying to increase my use of protien powder while decreasing my meat intake, see if that helps. I’ve just started taking Black Cherry Extract (0g carbs). Anybody have any suggestions?
Ok fella and fellaettes, Listen close. You all read JB’s article on chocolate? Anyhow I went down and picked p some 100% cocoa powder that has only one ingredient, cocoa beans. This shit is off the hook. It has 2 g of CHO and guess what they are? Fiber! yeah. and 2g of protein too? like WTF M8? And 3.5 g of fats. Brilliant, this is per tbsp. Also has the highest antioxidant capacity of any food on earth. that’s right, never get sick again.
Also think about this:
Best hot chocolate (or mocha) ever
Tbsp cocoa powder
Tbsp whipping cream
Hot water
splenda (dont reall NEED it)
Add espresso or brewed coffee if you want.
Thank me later killas. Get it at your local hippy store.

What brand did ya get?

cocoa camino 100% organic.
Im thinking organic is also pretty important there given the nature of the cocoa plant. similar to coffee beans, which you also what organic.

For those interested in new ideas for fat sources, I’ve found sour cream to be an invaluable addition.[/quote]
you just now figured that out?
This is my fave nighttime snack, it’s such a treat:
AD Cheesecake
4 oz. cream cheese
1 TBS sour cream
1 egg white
1/2 scoop vanilla isopure protein
1-2 TBS splenda
mix well and place into 2 ramekins (or one if you need the cals)
Bake 350 abotu 10 min, let cool in oven, sometimes I eat it with a little natty PB or a dollop of sour cream/splenda

Lot of good that does you. Where the hell is “out here?” There must be a hippy store. there are hippies everywhere. Im sure you can order it off the intertron. It is so damn awesome. Makes for some BIG deuces.

Shit, didn’t know that. Explains a lot about why I’m so wired.
have you guys found bulking on the AD to be just as easy as with high carb diets? im looking to get somewhere in the 220-230 range (about 20-30 pounds heavier than i am now) before i cut down which i anticipate in about 5 months or so. im just wondering if thats feasible with this diet or if i should try going with carbs.
i mean so far i cant really complain. ive gained say 20lbs and am at about 12-13%BF although it feels like ive hit a standstill with weight gain.

“Out here” is in China, bro. While FAR from a 3rd world country and most of the amenities I need/want are indeed within reach, the things you are talking about are more “specialty,” and can’t be found here (at least in the city I’m in…in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, etc it’s possible).
As for the internet: When you make the equivalent of about $$550 USD, one must be somewhat frugal.
