I hate carbs. Thank you Anabolic Diet.

[clr18287]

Being on the Anabolic Diet has made me realize how truly villainous carbohydrates are for my body. It is unbelievable how lazy and dead I feel during my carb-up. Now I know why people say that they cannot wait one more second to get back to the AD diet plan. I love protein and fat. I will never eat differently.

Can anybody suggest a successful carb up routine for me that won't make me feel disgusting? Should I just eat turkey and sweet potatoes/rice all day next time? I think this weekend I had myself one too many PBJ's.

[crazyfool405]

I like using 1 pslin and 1 gbol with 150g of carbs for breakfast. Then same dosing for post workout. Then 1 more carb meal after that then I start back to the protein fat. Works well. I try and do low glycemic pre and high gly post and low post post.

Carb intake looks like this for me...

175 pre workout. 100 post 50 post post

[crazyfool405]

Also wehen I carb up I don't have any fat with the meals with carbs in it just because fat decreases glycemic index and absorbtion time to the small intestin

[clr18287]

Sounds like a huge departure from Pasquale's suggestions. You still find that such a low level of carbohydrates saturates your glycogen stores.. or are you playing it safe and not allowing any chance for fat spillover?

I use AST's R-ALA 200mg with each carb meal.. makes my muscles feel ridiculously full. Is Glycobol worth the 60?

[crazyfool405]

I really enjoy glycobol. But I'm also a rep! But use what works for you. insuleank is pretty decent but doesn't pack that punch!

I try and keep it so that I don't spill over but I do think I can have more carbs. I keep increasing it as the weeks go on

[itzgambino]

same with me! The AD showed me how carb dependent our society has come to be when it is totally unneccessary. Try easing off simple carbs as that tends to happen to me when I indulge in chocolate or something. Someone else also told me to still monitor your fat like mentioned above. I usually try to keep any dirty foods to a short period of the day as a treat.

i love carbs.


especially pancakes with strawberries and whipcream and brownies

[itzgambino]

you forgot the blueberries

[crazyfool405]

Every so oftern ill hit up ihop for the whole wheat pancakes and a big steak omlete with home fries

[clr18287]

haha yea i find myself dreaming of carbs on friday... I'll go to the store and buy some bad **** (blueberry muffins, brownies...chocolate dipped double decker pbj) and save it for the next day but I basically drool the entire night thinking about it. Then..I finally eat it and feel like garbage. I swear next weekend will be rice and sweet potatoes only. Any way to get some glycobol samples?

[crazyfool405]

That's kinda like skips ****load I guess?

[itzgambino]

yea cramming in the good stuff is what kills us on the weekend .. Yea I mean I still let myself eat some **** but try to keep it majority clean, you deserve a little sweet **** on the carb load just not heaps load lol

[clr18287]

i'm adding slimxtreme to the mix tomorrow so and i'll be keeping a log so should be interesting. possibly leanfx stacked or just leanfx if it turns out i dont like the whole stim thing. green tea is really what i'm used to and enjoy. I'm going to follow crazyfool's suggestions with the carb up.

thanks a lot, all.

[crazyfool405]

its definetly pretty freaking awesome!! thanks for takin the time to listen.

What is your typical carb up that makes you feel like crap? I ususally go overboard on sweets and feel bad. I try to spread it out evenly like any other day. When I gorge at breakfast, then pound a ton of carbs later at each meal = fat slob syndrome for me. Me and the wife have actually been walking to breakfast on sat to a couple small restaurants that are a mile or 2 from our house. Chow down, then walk back. It helps with breakfast but then I say screw it as the day goes on and end up eating ice cream, cookies, crackers, whatever.

I do the same thing pretty much. All week long my diet stays flawless then I eat all the forbidden foods on my carb up days (weekend). I do for the most part stay within caloric total limits but the macro breakdown isnt the best. My fiance loves making brownies and cookies and pushing ice cream on me during the weekends and its tough to resist.

[clr18287]

yea, whats the best macro setup for the weekend carb ups? I think pasquale's fat recommendation is a bit higher than my fat kid metabolism can handle.

Nutraplanet may have a trial pack if not email me at crazyfool@anabolicinnovations. com

the ideal macro matchup is 70/15/15 C/F/P

example : i usually do 5-600 carbs/ 45 g fat / 110 or so g protein ( you dont need as much protein on the carb up days.

high GI carbs for first 24 hours, and if you need 2 days to do a full refeed, the second 24 hours you want to do low GI carbs and less fat.

[crazyfool405]

I don't really agree with that high gi first 24 hours. Your bodys glycogen stores fill up as the day goes by. And post workout I'd say slam 100-150g waxy for great supersompensation keep it clean tho. Not overly clean but definetly don't go overboard! I keep protien the same and lower my fat to as low as I can. Mainly because while doing this its very anabolic as well and can really help bring up weaker body parts so protein is still important. It doesn't have to be the 300g u get everyday but atleast ur bodyweight
