It's rough going from eating around 200-300 grams of carbs a day to less than 30 a day. However, now that I'm a few days into the Anabolic Diet, I'm starting to see how I will be able to deal with the carb restriction. The good thing is that I'm not hungry at all, but I do miss carbs.
I'm taking in an absurd amount of fat; about 65% of my calories are from fat. Olive oil, fish oil (40 g a day), natural PB, steak, eggs, hamburger, cheese, etc.
Today I took in around 165 grams of fat with 250 or so grams of protein.
I know it's going to be hard to stick this low-carb thing out for another 8 days and still lift hard, but I'm DOING IT. It's worth it to me if this style of eating will really put me into a fat-adapted state and have me using my own fat stores as energy (what could be better?).
The eventual carb-up is keeping me sane, and knowing that they will occur every 5 days (after this initial 12-day induction phase) is a comforting thought.
Anyone else here on the Anabolic Diet? If so, do you have any good meal suggestions?
Also, what is a tell-tale sign that you have become fat-adapted? My breath is weird-smelling right now and I am lethargic and mentally foggy. I'm going to take Venom Hyperdrive tomorrow to help with it.
Anyway...rant over, thanks for listening or taking the time to reply.
PS - I love flavored BCAA drinks like Xtreme Formulations.
