cool cool
I’ve considered the PWO shake and I think it’s the first thing I will add back in as I transition back to normal eating when I’m very lean, or maybe even at the last phase of dieting
I am gonna push the carb up back to Saturday/Sunday and just take Sunday off and eat complex carbs then. I definitely like the carb-up.
make sure to post how your modified adiet goes, sounds interesting.

I started with GSD to cut weight. Mostly to get to single digits for the first time ever. My cals got to 1600 which sucks. So I’m currently at 160 probably at 10% I can see 4 abs and the bottom set afte workouts. But since going to G-flux, slowly adding cals and exercise, Im at 2000 cals and Im hungrier than I ever was on GSD. So I figured I was killing my metabolism. Im down to 158 now. So next week Ill be adding 100 cals to each of my meals jacking my cals 2500. Again Im just going to see where I come up in weight.
My current training is varied, wrestling conditioning Monday-Friday, yoga on tuesday or thursday, and 3-4 weight lifting sessions. Of course I didnt jump into this though. Im adding a little each week. Id say Im a very conditioned athlete. Ill be training everyday.
I believe if you slowly adapt to different stimuli your body can handle anything given your giving it what it needs to recover. And its takenn me a few years to actually put it in action but im finally taking my time with things instead of diving.
Monday btw- 1 hour wrestling conditioning
Today(tuesday)- 1.5 hour wrestling practice, 45-60 min. full body(light weight) circuitusing Thibs Stripping Fat With Metabolic Pairings
I’m becoming a major fan of Mondays with Thibs and along with one of his Metabolic Pairing combos Im adding in his Holistic, Chest Blast, Skinny Legs Cure, and now his new back W/O.
So today I’ve learned not to do a full body Metabolic Pairing following wrestling practice. Im deciding to let back on wresling practice(im a hands on assisstant coach) and replace with weightlifting. Ill do 2 a days with yoga and wrestling next. I believe thatll be a lot more tolerable.
The last couple weeks I’ve been really trying to hammer down the nutrition part of this using FitDay along with weighing my food and all that.
I also added about 50mg of ephedra (product called ephBURN) ~5 days a week but haven’t noticed a drop off in weight. I’m at 185lbs, and unfortunately been really low-cal averaging only 1532 calories a day, based on FitDay. Eating roughly 60% fats from meats, cut out salty stuff like bacon, 180g protein, and usually around 30-40g carbs.
Maintenance is supposed to be 2700 and I am trying to hit 2200/day, but would jumping 700 cals a day from 1500 to 2200 be too much? Or should I go up 300 a week over 2 weeks? Or should I go back up to 2700, and then drop back down?
I mean, my stomach area looks a bit better, but the scale weight just won’t go down! I’m beginning to think I put myself into starvation mode and wondering if the 700 jump in cals may layer more fat back on?
DONT JUMP INTO IT! ease into it. add a full meal everyday for a week. then the week after add 100 cals to each meal. Look up Getting unshredded by John Berardi and theres the perfect way to come off restrictive caloric intake(even if you arent shredded)
Been on the diet for about 4 months now. I’ve experimented with NHE-style eating the past couple weeks, and probably will continue to do so. The Anabolic Diet is definitely easier to fit into traveling, and my lifts are better with it.
Anyone else notice that they’re really sensitive to sweet stuff now? It just hit me in the past couple weeks. Anything with added sugar seems really strong, and just doesn’t taste very good.
Maybe that means I’ve fully converted.
Hey thanks for the pointers bkmacky, just upped the cals ~300/day and feeling better.
My taste buds have changed too dlannan, particularly towards salt and sugar as well. I’ve been on the AD for over a year, dropped 20lbs quick initially then just got lazy but maintained the weight very nicely.
But since then, I have no sweet tooth anymore and just crave steak all the time. Tonight was heaven - had grilled rib eye with sauteed mushrooms, some onions, and a nice big green salad. Love that rib eye so much I felt like punching my own face.
I hear ya man nothing like red meat! Oh and btw this goes out to everyone. Get a variety of veggies everyday. I use to only eat brocolli and spinach getting my 5+ servings/day, but after adding in mushrooms, kale, peppers, cucumber, cauliflower, and asparagus I feel a lot better, and , isuppose it may be a mix of mentally and physiologically speaking, but i feel healthier as well. Just some insight for my fellow AD’ers
ok guys…I started the AD diet 8 days ago…its going pretty good, first few days had some mild crashes and felt light headed… over the last 8 days i skimmed through pretty much all 360 pages of this thread gathering information I felt could help me fine tune this diet along the the way.
Some concerns I am having
-I train in the morning so I like to sleep early which makes it tuff for me to stay up late to get 6 meals…so last 3 days i tried cramming everything into 5 meals which didn’t go so well…so i maye switch back to 6, or maybe make 1 of the 5 meals a meal replacement shake.
-I weigh 180 pounds and my daily protein in take is about 330grams, I think this might be a bit high i would like it to be around 270 or so, let me know what you guys think…
-Also I would like to know what stats you guys are using for broccoli (CAL/PRO/Carb/Fat) per lets say 1/2 cup chopped
-Also would like to clarify fiber because im getting most my carbs from almonds and broccoli. I have been using the method of subtracting fiber from carbs so 1/4 cup almonds has 6carbs 3 fiber so i mark down 3 grams carbs. correct?
I have my first planned carb-load this weekend, but I am willing to hold off for another week if I have no been doing it right to make sure im fully shifted.
Please HELP ME ASAP!! Lol
THX GUYS
You might want to drop the protein and up the fat a little bit, but it sounds like you’re doing ok.
Your fiber calcs are correct. The transition may be a little harder for you because you’ve been on the low end of the recommended fat intake, but you should feel better with time. Sounds like you’re good to go for your carbup!
jimdkou-
when do you wake and sleep? count broc for first month, Id say, as 45 cals 0 fat 3 carb 1 fiber 1 protein...after your transition or 1 month max...dont count anything but perhaps the fiber in brocolli.
I personally, on Fitday.com, edit all my vegetables so that they dont include anything but the fiber count. Yes you subtract fiber as you have done. Your doing fine just eat A LOT of FATS! and 30 grams of carbs for 12 days straight, train as hard as you can, and take it easy on your first carb up.
Try to start out right. It becomes tough if you think your body is better than any other and can handle all the processed food you want, and DONT NEED.

Thx for the response guys…i’m happy to hear i didn’t totally mess things up…I am gonna do a clean carb load mainly oatmeal,veggies, fruit this weekend maybe 150-200 carbs im thinking for each day… since i was only on the strict diet for 10days…
Again unless you guys think i should hold out another week…i feel good and think i could do it if necessary…like u said bkmacky I wanna start this thing right.
as we speak i’m working on a excel sheet crunching numbers for next weeks low carb… trying to improve things as well as make it easier…
Also to answer your question I wake up around 5-6am to eat breakfast and train…so I usually try to sleep by 9-10pm…
I think I am only going to use this EFA

dam sorry about all the posts guys…I am just trying to get this all sorted out…
actually i think this Flax Seed Oil is a better deal
www.supplementscanada.com/popeyes/product4170.html
only weird thing is says 25servings at 1 tbsp…which dosent add up should b 50
I know each body is different, but I’m wondering what experience others are having regarding maintenance calories? I’ve been seeing a lot of 15xBW but the book says 18xBW. Any opinions since we’re all around the moderate-heavy activity levels, and male?
Also, I do a 36 hour carb up, lately starting it Friday nights since I have 3-4 beers hanging out with the boys. Is there any benefit to going from Friday night through Saturday VS Saturday through 12pm Sunday? Just trying to gather a general consensus.
Hey, how is this forum with software sharing? I mean, is it frowned upon or anything because one day I was just browsing bodybuilding.com (I know, I know) and some guy shared his copy of FitDay, the desktop version. Not trying to make this a warez forum by any means 
It’s made it a lot easier for me to be able to just fire it up without going on the internet since my wireless connection really sucks sometimes.
So if it is ok, then I can post a rapidshare link, if not - sorry.
go for it I say…its for the good of my making our food logging easier right? so whats it gonna hurt?
