I’m 17 years old and a couple you have probably already read my other n00b posts, but I was wondering whether or not this diet would be good or bad for me to use.
I’ve been reading up on it and I’m planning to start it tomorrow and heres how I think my first day’s meals are gonna go.
I weigh 150 lbs so I’m shooting for 2700 calories.
Breakfast:
4 eggs
4 slices of bacon
Snack:
salad with olive oil,vinegar, and extra sharp cheddar
Lunch:
8 oz. 80/20 hamburger
extra sharp cheddar
Snack:
pepperoni
Dinner:
Flank Steak
brussel sprouts with olive oil
Snack:
sugar free jell-o and whipped topping
Does anyone have any suggestions for my first day or any words of warning?
Thanks again for all of your guys help.[/quote]
My suggestion: Kale and flax seeds!
Having my 30g-or-less in the evening in the form of a few cups of stir-fried kale with about a quarter cup of flax seeds works great for me. And the fiber in the flax seeds will help keep things running while your body makes the shift!
My bulk is working fine, given its nearly imposssible to get my cals in givin my waiting job, but seein all my lifts go up 5-10 lbs after a month now…very nice and minimal to no fat gain thus far…

Good to hear. I am bulking as well and have really slid into my groove… for awhile I was struggling to gain a regular pound a week and my lifts were a little touch and go.
Then everything clicked. I am about 218 up from 205 two months ago. I have put almost 20 pounds on my bench (that’s what I have been focusing on), and my squat has gone up as well. Pullups have stayed the same, likely considering i have almost put 15 pounds on since then!
Hey all,
Wanted to check witht you vet’s (CJK, Bmacky??)if i am following this diet correctly. i am doing this diet in order to bulk with minimal fat gains and from what i have read (everything!! and the e-book)this seems to be the ideal choice.
This is currently my second day.
So far i have had;
Breakfast:
60 gram pounch of peanuts
2 sugar-free jellos
total: 400cals/33g fat/14g protein/6g net carbs
Lunch:
290 gm beef + sauce
1.5 cup spinach
0.5 Tbsp Olive oil
total: 560cals/29g fat/67g protein/3g net carbs
Also, is it ok if my net carbs are falling below 20gm. Is there any way to get these numbers up or should i worry about that after induction?
Stats:
Weight: 110 pounds (hence the bulk)
Height: 5’8"
coming off a bad case of the flu and so im not counting calories.
I lift 3 times a week and run once on monday’s.
sorry. just realized that most of my questions were answered in the posts above…
To make up for this i’ll post a good craving curber i thought of;
peanuts
tabasco (optional)
sugar free jello
mix it all up:
tastes like spicy PB&J and makes a great AD breakfast on the fly. (i should know, its what i had today since i got up 20 mins before i was due at work!!)
P.S. just got invited to dinner at a (hold you breath) GRILLED MEAT BUFFET!!! imagine unlimited steak, pork, lamb and chicken legs (dont think theres any sauce) and some leafy greens and no desserts!!
I’m on day 5 of the AD at 2000 cals a day (cycling a bit, last few days were anywhere from 5000 - 2500 daily all the current proportions though) feeling a bit down and tired. I do however have noticable body fat gain which I find odd. This could just be from the large amount of calories I’ve taken in thus dropping to 2000 for a bit until I reach around 10% again. Anyone else experience fat gain while on their first 12 days?

i think Bmacky did (from what i recall reading)
Should i be eating at least 20gm net carbs on this? my carbs currently are from spinach, onioins, garlic, broccoli, and some sauces etc. and i dont think you can eat greens and vegetables in a day to make you hit the 30 net without ‘issues’

I doubt that it is fat gain that you are experiencing, unless you are very in tune with your body and know for sure. I know when I did my 12 day induction (trying to think back… it was awhile ago haha) I felt a little bloated, and I attributed it to upped sodium. I was eating a lot of bacon, cheese, butter, and, well, salt. I was also way thirstier. Obviously I had many other fat sources than those things, but the inclusion of all those choices led to a little initial bloating. In my experience your body adapts to it and it goes away. Now I am very tight at the end of the week.

x2!!
I haven’t been on the AD as long as some of these other guys (into week 6 now) but during your transition you need to give your body plenty to work with. Even if you gain a little bit of fat, it’s better than not having enough and putting your body into conservation mode and when you’ve switched completely it’ll come right back off.
No reason at all to skimp on veggies. You’ve got 30 carbs to play with not including fiber, and you definitely need the minerals and vitamins you get from dark leafies on this diet.

Sorry forgot to mention that those two meals listed were just lunch and breakfast, inthe middle there was plenty of almonds and for dinner it was a HUUGEE ALLL MEAT BUFFET (7 kinds o fmeat and its all grilled in oil and its unlimited!!!)
according to fitday my total for the day came to around 2000 cals.
Bkmacky: i was on a total body workout but recently switched to Ct’s superhero workout for a change. btw, yesterday i felt lifeless in the gym and ended up doing only ab work after a squats set… jst wondering whether that was my ‘crash’ or am i yet to hit the “wall”.
8 oz beef
1 cup steamed broccoli
2 oz mozzarella cheese
8 oz beef
1 cup steamed broccoli
(PWO Shake)
2 scoops protein
2 tbs Heavy Cream
1 large salad
2 oz mozzarella cheese
4 tbs Newmans Vinaigrette and Olive Oil Dressing
My macros seem to be hitting right on par… But I would just like an opinion from someone with a little more experience. I am also taking some fish oil capsules as well to help get a better source of fat.

now this is just me, but, instead of butter for your breakfast and the cream for your PWO id use EVOO. Helthy fats are shizzit so dont disrespect…yes you may hate me now for that…anyways, a fun thing to do is buy EVOO cooking spray spray your veggies, and everything else for that matter, and add on your spices and sea salt on top…very nice combo and healthy of course
heres what i do for breakfast every morning thats great…get 8 eggs, EVOO, mlled flax seeds, spinach…and whatever else you want…mix in a bowl heat and voila
I’m seventeen years old. Is it a bad idea for me to use the anabolic diet? I’m on my third day and my energy levels are feeling great. I haven’t felt sleepy after any of my meals like I usually do on my normal diet. I understand the concern over messing with a kids hormones but it seems like a pretty natural diet.
