Absolutely! However, how can you give up bacon man? Those crispy, little morsels are one of the things that make this diet so great. In all honesty, pork is the meat I eat the least, aside from bacon and the occasional BBQ ribs (minus the BBQ sauce), and it is not necessary that you consume it either. There are plenty of other low-carb, high-protein foods out there.
If I remember correctly, DH himself eats little in the way of pork, although I do know we share the same passion for “those crispy, little morsels”. Steak, chicken and fish(Yes, i consider it a meat. Who cares if no one else does!) are my main staples as far as meat goes.
So, as far as not wanting to eat pork, don’t sweat it man!
Thought DH?

Of course! I’ve done the Anabolic Diet off and on for the past 3 years (currently 5’6", 205, single digit bodyfat), and I generally eat pork no more than once a week. You’ll just be eating more chicken, beef, fish, and eggs. As tasty as bacon and eggs are, they don’t hold a candle to steak and eggs or a good jerk chicken omelet, IMO.
I’ve actually got a vegetarian friend who follows the Anabolic Diet successfully.
google the diet’s name and you’ll find plenty of places to buy it (just as DiscHoss has said before!)
I also said that you could probably search for it on limewire or another file sharing service and luck out. (this part made the post, it was edited so I could see why people think I just downloaded it online)
I don’t have the PDF, my friend from the gym printed it all out for me and has given me a notebook with 111 pages in it to read. He said he used Limewire to find it.
This is why I cannot send anyone the PDF, I have it in HARDCOPY not on my hard drive or on a CD (and NO, I’m not about to retype it into word for you cheepskates!)
Well, I’ve thought it over and decided to give this diet a shot. This week my boss is out of town, so I can be a little light-headed at work. I’m also due for an off-week as far as training goes, so I’ll be lifting much less and doing less intense cardio. Seems like the perfect time to start, eh? I’m starting the diet tommorow, June 20th.
My calories will be around 2900-3000 per day, broken into 6 equal meals of 40g Pro and 30g Fat. For CHO, I’m going to try to stay at the low end, (less than 20g),as Doc. D recommends in his book.
The first week I’ll be re-testing my max lifts and performing some light cardio, (uphill X-Vest walks). After that I will do the ABBH program for 3 weeks and gauge my results. I just finished the program, so this should provide a good barometer of how well the diet works for me.
Right now I’m sitting at 5’7.5’', 162 at around 10-12% bodyfat. I do not anticipate much weight gain, but I am hopeful of some positive body composition changes. I was going to use some Methoxy-7, however, in the interest of accuracy, I will only be using Low-Carb Grow!, fish oil tabs, a fiber supplement, a multivitamin, and the occasional vitamin-c and calcium supplement. I will be using whey protien shakes for my pre and post workout meals as outlined by DH is previous posts.
Sorry for the hijack, I can start a new thread if needed. I just wanted to lay it all out for myself so I know what I’m getting myself into. I guess I got kind of carried away there.

Isn’t this the V diet? If you follow the AD as outlined and eat REAL food you should not get light headed, and you will probably gain lean mass.
Chuck, looks great. Enjoy.
And I’m still reeling from finding people on Earth who don’t want bacon on the AD… Stop the Insanity…
I eat plenty of: olive oil, fish oil caps, some Cod liver oil in winter mostly, bacon (entirely unnecessary)
steak, pork steak, ground sirloin, ground chuck, chicken breast, whole chicken, eggs, cheese (real not cheese food), real butter, smart balance butter, almonds (raw), raw walnuts, natural peanut butter, heavy whipping cream, cauliflour, brocolli, green beans, onions, mushrooms, romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, cream cheese, deli steak, deli turkey, salmon steaks, shrimp, green peppers, cucumbers, red peppers, ceasar salad dressing, ranch salad dressing, mayonnaise, mustard, tomatoes (7g for a full one), every herb and spice on Earth, and much more…
Also for our pleasure:
Hood low carb milk (choc and whole are my favorites).
Low carb fajita shells (minus the fiber, I’ve found them as low as 5g each to be used for steak and chicken fajitas or a breakfast burrito.)
Sugar free jello with some Cool Whip
Healthy Life low carb bread (minus fiber leaves 5g per slice. If you are smart AND have ALREADY adapted to the diet you can leave enough CHO from you limit to have a steak and cheese deli sandwich with the veggies and mayo.)
Heinz low carb Ketchup (1g per tbsp)
Pork Rinds with some low carb salsa is great too.
And our good friend Splenda. Use for baking some low carb goodies, for your coffee with the heavy cream, or mix it with your nasty hydrolyzed whey to remove that lovely after vomit/jock strap taste.

Whoops, when I wrote “I will only be using Low-Carb Grow!..etc”, what I meant was “For Supplements I will only be using…etc”. Sorry for the confusion.
I am going to the store later today and will be buying:
eggs-3 dozen
cheese, full fat-several
blocks,different varieties
spam-several cans
ham-1 large
cream-1 pint
sausage-several varieties
bacon-3lbs
corned beef hash-5 cans
steak-as much as I can afford
ground beef-as much as I can afford
fish-several kinds,3 or 4 lbs
a fiber supplement
I’ve already got 12lbs of ground chuck at home, also butter, several cheeses and lunchmeats, some spam, olive oil, and some bacon.
Sorry for the mix-up man, those foods above are what I plan on eating.
On what Disc Hoss wrote:
Thanks DH, I plan on it. I already know what I’m eating tommorow morning, the thing I’ve been wanting for about a year, Spam and eggs baby! Oh, and Low Carb Ketchup? Hell Yeah! I love this diet!

Damn I forgot about Spam LOL. I am gonna rush to the store and pick some up ASAP! Mmmm Spam and eggs…
My normal weekly fare consists of such items as:
Lean beef, chicken by the truck load, many eggs, bacon or canadian bacon, spinach, broccoli, olive oil, flax meal, green tea, pork, salmon, the occasional lobster, crab or shrimp, red or green leaf lettuce, mixed nuts when I just need a little something…protein powders, water, cheese (good greek and italian cheese), once in a while some italian lunch meats (procchuito, etc), tuna, and grass fed beef.
Now, this weekend included such lovely carb ups as:
A box of Fruity Pebbels
A PWO shake with 2 scoops of chocolate whey mixed with a box of low fat, sugar free Pastachio pudding…this is good enough to punch someon for.
Actually, I look forward to my friday night and saturday PWO shakes because I mix them with various flavors of pudding and they are excellent.
I was wondering if this diet would be better geared toward certain bodytypes, i.e., mesomorphs as opposed to ectomorphs (which is what I am)?
It’s darn near a panacea for everyone, regardless of somatotype. And of course we all now that no one is a pure meso, endo, or ecto. This diet is EXACTLY what you need Camaro Hair. Say is your “other hair” some Trans Am Hair?

I would be remiss if I did not emphasize one more time:
PLENTY of fresh veggies. (watch labels)
SOME fresh blueberries and strawberries
(HIFWAC fruits) High Fiber/water content)
2-3g of DHA/EPA per day
PLENTY of monounsat. fat (Olive Oil)
PLENTY of fiber (at least 20g daily.
Rest of the sat and unsat fat from foods will keep the T levels nice an high.
And the big back breaker…
COUNT ALL ITEMS THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH (no dirty comments) AGAINST YOUR CARB LIMIT.
Fiber does NOT count.
Want everyone to be healthy. Also it is always smart to have blood work done before the diet and then a while after you’ve been on. The diet shows great benefit with repect to cholesterol levels (which are beginning to lose importance in the research world) and more importantly triglyceride levels, but CHECK yourself out. Just do it both before and after so that you don’t wrongly attribute anything to the diet. Be smart.
FYI. Niacin, in the correct dosage, has been touted to drop cholesterol around 25%.

Time to fess up. On my first carb load, I ate nearly a dozen donuts and a half gallon of chocolate milk. In fact, a guy that I used to train went on it with me in 95, when if first came out. We would joke that if they put each of us in opposite corners of the gym and thew a glazed donut in the middle, there’d be Hell to pay on Friday afternoon for any onlookers who got mixed in the stampede. Wife used to tell people to hide their children when I came over to eat.
IC’s box of Fruity Pebbles got me to laughing. The AD is fun, and you’ll learn some hard lessons from too much junk. But at the same time, NO other diet gets you in position for such an explosion of food. Dig in, just know when to jump out!!

Well, its time to train and then eat. My dad will be over soon and my little guy just bought me a CD burner. He (son) likes to write my numbes in my log book for me.
Food and fam today.
Happy Father’s Day to all to whom it applies on here.
Best,
DH
Can the anabolic diet accomodate vigorous energy systems work? Right now I’m in the midst of Waterbury’s TBT. On my off days, I run sprints (HIIT) for 20min.
Yep. calories are key.

DH, thank you for the info. I didn’t realize that you don’t count the fiber in things. Tommorow I probably would have gone without much in the way of veggies had you not said anything.
I’m off to do some interval sprints, then to the store!

I hope you got the burner working DH. I just got done with a nice little Father’s Day outing with my dad at the lake. Slapped some burgers on the grill and had me a nice little feast, topped with salsa of course.
