Anabolic Diet, Day 1 of 12 day Induction Phase
I began the Induction Phase of the Anabolic Diet today. The Induction Phase is to be done at estimated maintenance calories (BW x 15-18) and consists of eating around 35/5/60 (protein/carbs/fat–thanks for catching my screw up, Pappy.OKC!). Carbohydrates are not supposed to go over 30 g, but you don’t have to count fiber into that intake. Since it looks like the program was designed with males in mind and a flat “30g” was given regardless of size, I’m going to try to stay at 30g total but I guess it won’t be a huge deal if fiber takes me over.
I’m new at the Anabolic Diet so you are MORE THAN WELCOME to correct me and give me suggestions!
IN A NUTSHELL:
Anabolic Diet: Pretty tasty but I’m sick of eating! At the moment it looks like I’ll be depending a lot on psyllium husks to get enough fiber. I’m also concerned about getting enough veggie variety. I’d love any suggestions that may help with that, keeping my 30g carb limit in mind!
Hunger: None except for about 15 minutes around the beginning of my workout.
Cravings: WATER! I’m more thirsty than usual. So far as food goes, nothing. I’m used to eating what seems like more bulk 6 times a day so I’m surprised I’m not hungry.
Energy: Normal, except for being a bit lethargic during workout.
Mood: Excited about new diet!
Mental Clarity: Normal, except for some dizziness during workout.
Physical Appearance: Normal.
Workout: Weird one. Was dizzy after every set. Stared off into space and lost track of time a lot. Kinda zoned during sets. I felt like I should be weak but actually beat my chin up totals. The rest of my workout was just “eh.” Nothing to be upset about or brag about.
MEALS:
M1: 3 whole eggs, 1 oz mozzarella cheese, 30 g spinach and 2 oz mushrooms. Seasoned with pepper, onion and garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

Mornin’, youngster. Was doing a drive-by to check up on a few of you ornery characters, and I thought I’d better say howdy to the Barbacoa Kid……..soooooooooo, HOWDY!
Interesting experiment you’ve got going on. I’ll have to check back in on ya in a few weeks. Don’t know nuttin’ about the diet, but you must have transposed the carbs/fat numbers above (35/60/5 (protein/carbs/fat)). Was scratchin’ my head on that for a few…
Great lookin’ back/arms BTW *said in a "fatherly" tone*. Oh, and no new pics of you sportin’ ankle-length, long-sleeved dresses……..I’ll take that as a good sign.
Happy Trails!

Oh hai, Okie-one-kanobi! Good thing you caught my mistake! it should have been 35/5/60 (p/c/f). I’ll have to fix that! I’m glad SOMEONE is actually reading what I write. What a compliment.
Glad you stopped by! Hoping the experiment doesn’t backfire. :p
