Ok so I think it’s good to always shock the metabolism to get out of plateaus. So I came across the anabolic diet. It’s a different kind of diet that I am DEFINITELY not used to. But I think I might give it a shot. It’s basically a low carb approach where there is a bit of carb cycling thrown in. During the week (5 days), you would eat 60% fat, 35% pro, 5% carb. Then on the weekends you would carb up for 24-48 hours. I have never tried this approach, given that I was always under the assumption that carbs are needed everyday for fuel + growth. But it looks like you can do a ‘metaboic shift’ with this diet where the body will use fat for fuel (like it would carbs). So I am wondering if anyone has tried this diet and what their results were. Any women who have input would be awesome, too!

Thanks =)
