A new start in life!
For a while I fell off track and forgot the reason why I got into this game.
NOT to become freakshly big. To get thin and ripped. Athetic. I needed to get back on track FAST!
Said and done, Iwrote my training mentor; Joe and asked what to do and he helped me. I now folow his WoD’s(http://www.crossfitsla.com/). I still have problems even completing those hellish things, but I’m getting there! =D
I feel better, stronger, leaner and like I’m doing something made for me!
But wait! Something still felt wrong. My diet!
In the begining when I lost wieght I folowed a diet called "GI Metoden"(The GI Method). It’s exactly what it sounds like: Eat anything with low GI(Glycemic Index). I wanted to go back to something like that. Something simple, and a smart sentence came to me: “If you can kill it or grow it, eat it." - Big Byrd, AnimalPak. Caveman style diets have always worked. Why? Bicouse cavemen folowed nature, like our bodies was suppose to from the very begining.
I read up on this and came acros "The Anabolic Diet" wich in many ways folowed this way of life with the exeption of high carb weekends. I just started my first relationchip ever and my girlfriend and her roomate eat normal(unhelthy) food. Now I could eat with her and not care and even drink a beer again, PERFECT!
I’m still aiming for ripped and therefore try to stay low in calories, aiming for 2000-3000 devided or 6 meals/day.
My food list is very simple:
Breakfeast: 3 eggs
Snack:(shoose one) 30gram nuts of some kind/50g cheese/2 hard boiled eggs
Lunch/dinner: 225g meat, something from the snack category and a very small amount of carbs.
Now with the new diet I also removed almost all supplements from my diet, exept AnimalPak and Animal Omega(ofcourse).
With this new high metabolism diet and training I hope to become the thin, ripped, 8-pack warrior I was meant to become.
This is the primal, simple and head on way of life I’ve been looking for, wish me good luck!

The Anabolic diet is a good start towards cutting out the grains. If you wanted to go that route I would also do some research on the Paleo diet. It pretty much lean proteins(animal sources) nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. I think it is a bit healthier than the Anabolic diet. I’ve done both in the past and now I stick with The Zone diet with pretty much Paleo food choices, I have found that works best for me. I also hate to break it to you but beer / unhealthy foods and ripped do not go together. Trust me I tried this approach also, it wasn’t until I stopped allowing myself ‘cheat" days that I really started seeing results. Good luck.
