Anabolic Diet while on cycle

[texthai]

How ya'll doing. Great forum!! Need a little help. I have been doing the anabolic diet for about 6 months now and love it. I have kept my bf at 8% and have gained about 8lbs. 5'10 at 155lbs. I was thinking of doing a cycle and was wondering if I stay on this diet (5 day high fat, pro. then 24 to 48hr. high carb.) would I get the same gains as a more balanced diet like 40 30 30? If I did go back to a higher carb diet how long would it take my body to switch back to burning carbs again? Thanks for the help.

Congrats on the 8 lb. increase in lbm while keeping your bodyfat constant. I used the anabolic diet for bulking and had similar results. Great for the endo/mesomorph who gains fat easily in my opinion.

I'd wait until you put on some size first before trying anything. There's plenty of training programs that can put a lot more than 8 lbs. of muscle on you in less than six months. German Volume Training, 5x5, Rest Pause, Time/Volume/Efficiency Training, Vince Gironda's 8x8, Very Low Set/Reps (Heavy Duty Style done 3x a week) Power Bands....

Keep in mind that one of the main actions of AAS is to increase glycogen synthase and draw more water into the cells. Using a low carb diet in this case would almost be counterproductive. I wouldn't recommend the anabolic diet in this case. Just my opinion.
