Anabolic Diet: Midweek Carb Spike
I have been on the Anabolic Diet for the last few months and the results have been great. Now, I have included H.I.I.T running into my cardio routine 4x a week and I jump rope on Saturdays. As you can imagine by Wednesday, my glycogen stores are sapped due to the H.I.I.T running.
In the book ‘The ANABOLIC Diet’, Dr. Mauro DiPasquale talks about having a midweek carb spike to give you an extra "kick". He also notes that you can consume up to 1,000 calories in high GI foods. Ofcouse after that meal you go right back to high/fat protein/low carb diet. Dr. Mauro states, " a little jolt of carbs can be very productive as needed. It will drive amino acids into the cell and increase anabolic drive and, as long as you go back the Anabolic Diet, you’ll avoid laying on fat."
Well, that is fantastic! I will keep you all informed.

I think the midweek carb spike makes sense. Your body needs the carbs and it will keep your body burning fat longer by tricking it into thinking that you’re not completely starving it. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

The midweek carb spike went really well. I followed the suggestion that corygt3 gave me. My energy levels were great and I didn’t have the bloated look.
