Scott Abel's Cycle Diet

I’m liking Scotts posts on her and i’m cheekily looking for info without paying for it

does anyone know of the rough details of Scott’s diet plan, As i’m considering using him as a coach, but i’m reluctant to sign up for something that i’m never going to stick to.

JB and Lonnie etc write articles explaining the basics of their plans, but Scott’s a little more cagey.

Anyone know the rough plan?

thanks in advance

He does have his own site if you didn’t find that scottabel.com and there is a forum. You might find what you are looking for there.

any results from that forum search?

I found that Scott uses this diet for those that are already at or under 7% BF.

so use get shredded first i suppose

I don’t think you begin the diet at 7%. It looks like that is when you start the all out cheat days. I looked everywhere and ultimately you will have to buy the dvd.

I’m curious about this too… does anyone know the rough details? Is it low or high carb? OR Is it just carb cycling?

lets hope TC gets an overview article from Scott

you might get a teaser article to induce some dvd purchasing.

He has a new book out 285 pages of info

“The Abel Approach: Program Design and Coaching Strategies for the New Era” It covers such topics as innervation Training,Met Training,Client assessment protocol, and has many past articles and workouts and a program design section with several programs"

But as the cycle diet you are best off getting the dvd and buying his coaching services. He was kind enough to return an email of mine asking him this very question.

I would be willing to bet that the cheat to lose diet or Justin Harris’ dvd are both similiar as they are all based on the same principles with the Leptin and all that jazz.

About a week ago I did some research and I THINK I found what the basic gist of it is…if the author who wrote it isn’t full of crap that is. The main points are…

  • Lean Body Mass x 12 = caloric intake for week.

  • One day during the week consume NOTHING but natural juices that (no sweetners or anything) for detox.

  • One day a week eat a BOAT LOAD of food. AKA a re-feed.

  • 5 days a week of weights

  • No weight work on re-feed day

  • I think he said you’re supposed to be pretty lean already to get going on this.

Take it or leave it, but that’s the most info I found on it. Whether it’s true or not is still in question.

Yep checked that out too and that article is total bullshit. Especially the juice thing and the 5 times per week workout.

OK…lol…good to know. I was like “What the heck?” at the all juice day. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m interested, but you wanna at least give us a starting price? I suppose I should contact you through PM about this…

i think it’s just a massive carb up, with cheesecake etc, alternating with a get shredded type Berardi thing

could be wrong
