My Super High Fat Diet

[SouthernLord]

Great Post, it's good to see this kind of diet on here. I've done the anabolic diet (similar with weekend carbups) in the past with great success. Some of those meals bring back memories. I LOVED heavy whipping cream. It would turn those protein shakes into a real delight.

A typical meal for me would be 8 ounce cut of steak covered in 2 strips of bacon with melted cheese on top.

I would first cook the bacon in the skillet, then the steak in the bacon grease lol.

One of the interesting things was that my weight stayed the same throughout the day. Most people would be shocked at how carbs suck in that water weight and cause those major fluctuations.

A few years back I followed the AD for close to a year. I was into PL at the time and i got super conditioned for my weight class and strength gains were good. The only reason I am not doing full blown AD right now is my love for PWO carbs lol. The WMS three times a week keeps me feeling and looking full.

When I was doing the AD my grandfather had a McDonald's franchise. He would give me cases of quarter pounder burgers, flats of 48 eggs, and boxes of bacon. That was absolutely the shit!!! It was a very inexpensive diet for me lol. Unfortunately he sold the franchise and is now retired lol. My lipids were never out of a normal range during this time either. Even living off of McDonald's lol.

Dave Palumbo is an advocate of High Fat diets for most of the guys he works with. High fats, high protein and low to mid carbs from the diets I have seen that he has put together.

Reminds of the Anabolic Diet Southern Lord. Pasquale does this 5 or 6 days during the week and then carb loads during the weekend paying attention to bloat and at that point you stop. Muscles should swell quite substantially on the weekend when the macros are switched to mainly carbs.

I had a good experience when I did the AD. I like pre and pwo carbs though.

I have decided to do my first carb up this Saturday. Here is what i bought at the store today in preparation...

10 single serving boxes of Kids Cereal. Trix, Coco Crisp, Cinnamon toast crunch, Fruity Pebbles, etc

Fat Free milk

Low Fat waffles

Syrup

I will also be drinking WMS through out the day, and eating brown rice later in the day. I am gong to shoot for 1000 grams of Cho.

LOL Damn dude, no clean carb up eh? Got to indulge once in awhile right?

When I carb load, I just do a bunch of raw honey and fruit with raw eggs to try to shuttle the amino acids into the muscle; with the the help of insulin from the shit-ton of fruit I try to consume on the carb day.

Sorry I thought only 8g fish oil. 14 is closer to what I was thinking given how much fat your consuming.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on the carb load. A lot of bros like the higher glycemic route when loading up to this level. If I am loading on 800-1000 grams of oatmeal and white rice I would be glued to the toilet for a week lol. I want to really push it and see how much I actually fill out. I predict a 10-12 pound weight gain come Sunday morning. Of course this will all be pissed away by mid week. This should be a fun experiment. Can you say "Carb Coma"? lol

I am just into four weeks of AD, and still reading bits of the book.

Post-workout carbs are ok. He even says seriously carboholic peeps can have a chocolate bar or ice cream PWO as long as it fits in with your carbs, and for some, this could be more than the recommended 30 g.

I am enjoying it.

I do think the first time you stop eating carbs or go low carbs, it is a bit of a shock to the system.

I remember my first proper BBing comp and my coach told me to carb deplete.

I was 'You want me to eat HOW many carbs?' I was shocked, and that was still eating between 60-100 g.

I did low carbs for awhile last year, I didn't seem to have energy to train.

This time, it is ok, and I have had energy to train this week, I was thinking I may have to come off, but now it is looking promising.

So you like the AD so far?? I really enjoyed it. I never crashed and i always had good energy. Well, except for the first half of the day on Monday. I would be in a bit of a fog from the weekend carb ups. I might have to re-read the AD. I have the hard copy of The Anabolic Solution for Powerlifters around here somewhere from 3 or 4 years ago. I also have a newer version that's an ebook. I know the diet changes slightly year to year along with the name. I don't really remember his recommendations for PWO carbs though. I think you can get a similar response like dextrose/malto/WMS/etc from Hydrolyzed whey and 30-40 grams of glutamine PWO.
