so lately i have been going over 5 hours without a meal. no special reason, i just find myself not starving/particularly hungry.
How much a problem is this if all my meals follow are low-carb and I eat enough protein and dont consume excess cals?
Some would say that you should eat your protein more frequently and in smaller amounts, but I don’t know if it really matters. I’d say give it a shot and see if you feel good and are still meeting your goals (gain/lose/maintain).[/quote]
Yeah you could change it. I’d say its ok to stuff yourself with foods in the morning and not be too hungry at night. I wouldn’t go WITHOUT any food for ages. just have a little snack when you know its been a minute. just a couple big spoons of chili right out of the container or a couple bites of precooked steak. just a snacky-snack.
That snacky snack will be all the difference. but I tell my athletes [the AD ones anyhow] that if they dont feel keen to eat after breakfast 1 & 2 and Snack 1 then just down some BCAA’s and have a tea [the BCAA’s mix well with SugFree iced tea in fact]. Maybe drop some benefiber in the tea.
im on to day 4 and am havin mixed feelings on this diet, today i got up did fasted intervals for 30 mins as my cardio, then ate spinnach (heaps) 8 eggs chicken breast and cream cheese with cheese , got hungry again ate 3 handfulls of nuts, and ate the spinnach egg chicken combo again , ive drunk 4 litres of h2o already , im still hungry and have developed a headache.
Is this just my body adjusting to the limited carbs ??
Im still lifting heavy and have got stronger, but what the fucks up with feeling slow and my lack of concentration.
Well day 10 is just about over with. Feeling great as usual. I noticed a drastic shift in mentality around day 5 or 6. Total optimism, something that was severely missing at the start of the diet. Physically I feel either just as good or better than I ever have. Pushed myself places I’ve never been workout wise.
I’m feeling no intense cravings at the moment, but I’m definitely looking forward to the next couple of days being over so I can carb the fuck up. I don’t even care about the weight or what my stomach may look like anymore, I just feel in a good place.
I’ve only shit twice in the past 10 days… but that’s okay too.
thanks for that post rollgood , quite interesting your mental state of mind resembled mine today earlier on in your diet,
so ill await the optimism to kick in!!!
I’m wondering how much sodium you guys are taking in daily. I’ve found on some days I’m nearing the double daily dose (1500mg, so coming pretty close to 3000mg). I know a lot of people have problems with this and fix it by eliminating pork for the most part. I’ll try that after the first carb up.
I also drink close to 3 gallons of water a day, does this help in anyway in terms of sodium intake?
Hahaha I’m trying to, going to add flax seed to my eggs tomorrow morning.
Edit: I think today I finally had some symptoms of a physical crash. Woke up at 8:30 today and couldn’t make it past 12, so I slept until 3(quite normal, actually).
I’ve also had this nagging lower back ache the entire day, and I’ve read in this thread of people having the same problems. And I had a bit of a headache, which is rare for me.
into day 6 today, woke up after last nights bbq banquet of 5 steaks 6 boiled eggs and some sausage, starving, so i ate more steak and 6 more eggs and plodded off to the gym .
Did back and triceps super heavy, came out enormously pumped.
so i tried some roasted butternut squash and boy was it good!except for the 125g o’ carbs
well there was roasted peppers too.Small increments mind you, it took me a 17 hour shift (eat every 2 hours) to eat a 2lb squash and three whole peppers.My carb up isnt till monday. sooo should i do anything or just go on with the system and forget about it.
I’m going to bed soon; when I awaken I shalle be having bacon and eggs as I begin what seems to be the ultimate panacea for all dietary needs for the competitive natural bodybuilder. I hope it lives up to the hype.
I have read the first 30 pages of this thread, and the Anabolic Solution itself. I feel prepared with the resources at my fingertips if I need to recall them at any time.
I fear a bit for my training, which is quite demanding at the moment, but I hope it will be alright for a week or two.
I plan on following this thread from this post on and keeping light updates for the users who currently follow the thread.
Good luck to all in the start-up phase, I shall see you when the hormones realign into that of a fat-burning, muscle-building machine.

Gonna be honest here. Your first two weeks of training are gonna suck balls. You’re gonna be tired dizzy and out of breath most of the workout. Just prepare for the storm
