I just switched from a carb heavy diet with no meat, to a mostly red meat "anabolic diet" and figured I'd share my experience. This is a huge change for me. I'd appreciate any support and criticism along the way.
I've been training WS4SB since september I think. Before that it was low reps, heavy sets. I have only been back into training since june of last year.
current stats:
5'7
182lbs
bench ME:240
squat ME: 275
deadlift ME: 320
I have bloodwork from a few months back, and will get new bloodwork after I feel settled into this diet. I also have a picture from before, I'll post it with an update in 4 weeks.
Current supplements: Probably too many. Trying to cut down on my "stock" (use up bottles that were sitting in my pantry), and then keep it simple with this diet and the basics. Right now I'm on sustain, phyto test, drive and rpm. Everything is getting low now though.
I'm currently on day 3 of the diet. My experience thus far:
- hard to get the required calories in at first, but my appetite is starting to increase and I hit my target 3100 yesterday.
- weight has been fairly steady.
- Dreams have been intense.
- mood has been foul.
- energy in the gym is low starting about halfway through, but I still finish them up just fine.
Yesterdays diet:
breakfast: 4 eggs, 1 oz cheddar
lunch: 8.5oz steak, 6oz broccoli
preworkout: burger and 1 oz cheddar, 2oz emmental cheese
postworkout: 2 scoups whey, 1 c no sugar soy milk, flax meal, cinnamon
dinner: 5.5oz salmon, 3c spinach with vinegar/olive oil
late night: 1 oz havarti cheese

I'll probably just post small updates with how I'm feeling, any PRs, and how the diet is going.
