"The Anabolic Diet: More Muscles, More Strength, Less Fat", that is the tag line from http://stronglifts.com/anabolic-diet/. The Anabolic Diet is the brain child of Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale. According to Wikipedia the Dr. is world class power lifter champion. He has also written thousands of articles for the popular bodybuilding magazines like Muscle & Fitness. How does all this apply to me? Well from what I have read, this guy does know what he is talking about.

Over the last few months I have been carb cycling, while the results have been great. I found the carb up days during the week to be tiring. I found the massive influx of carbs slowing me down. This affected my workouts and cardio. With the Anabolic Diet, I "convert" my body to processing fat as fuel.  The carb loading weekends allow for the insulin spike, which in turn allows growth hormone secretion.

I started the Anabolic Diet yesterday and so far so good. It has been very weird waking up and eating bacon and eggs for breakfast. Now, the bad thing is that I have be on a 30g and below of carbs until NEXT Saturday, so we shall see how things go.
