Swolecat/Animalbolic/Warrior Diets

[ProteinFiend]

I'll start with my question first just in case you don't want to hear about the diet.

With these diets (which are similar, if not based off one another) what do you eat on non-training days?

Also, how much cardio per week and when? Low intensity or high?

Now for the facts. These diets are based around the idea of eating just enough carbs to keep glycogen full and to eat them directly after training. During the day, you are supposed to eat as little as possible and eat only fat/protein (a TKD comes to mind...). The premise of these diets is to burn fat during the day, but at the same time preserve/grow muscle after workouts. Fat burning is based around timely insulin spikes ala just after your workout and none throughout the day as insulin stops lipolysis.

So if you only eat carbs after training, what do you eat on non-training days? A full keto diet? Or is there some kind of carb cycling?

Sorry, but you have my program grouped with other programs that are nothing like what I offer. There are similarities, as with any diet, however there are many key differences that set it apart from the other's you mentioned. When you ask general questions like "what do you eat on off days, what is the cardio like", etc. you'll get many different answers from those on my program. No two people's OFF days are the same, nor are the cardio recommendations. Some are doing more cardio than others, some are eating in different manners, etc., and this is done through the consultation that I include. Some eat carbs on "off" days, some do not. I make that judgement based on the person, the goals, the progress and speed, etc. There is no ONE WAY with any of my programs, as there are w/these others you have erroneously grouped mine with.

So, please refrain from stating my program is "based" off one of the other two, as it is not. As well, I don't have ONE program, I have 3, so your calculations are off. If you've done any of my diets, you know they are very different. If you haven't, well, then you can't speak on it.

As well, your "FACTS" have nothing to do with my program, not quite sure where you are getting your information, but I am setting the record straight here. Ask Mr. X, he'll tell you my diets are nothing like either of the other two you mentioned. Key changes make key results.

I don't think grouping any diets in a bundle is a great idea. Most people do not have a clear understanding what customized diets really do; thus, they imagine that just because they see a diet they can flabbergast themselves into believing they can find a match. However, that is completely FALSE, any customized diet has its’ advantages over ANY generic diet. Over the years, I’ve known a lot of SCs’ clients and they all speak of different regiments, and, personally, me being a dietician I know that most customized diets are DIFFERENT. It’s just NOT possible to make them the same, not even in lay-man conceptual terminology.

Mr. X is our future-- he is all professions in one-- he is truth in a world of lies!

(And I don't even know the guy!)

Mr. X and swolecat, sorry if I offended you two.

I never said YOURS (SC's) was based off their's, just that they are similar in theory.

And yes, a customized diet is better than a generic diet, though I think I have the knowledge of my body to customize a generic diet to my own liking.

I was just looking for some ideas about the "type" (used loosely) of diet...

i dont know much about swole cat's deiet, i thought it was one where u eat carbs after training... sounds good to me if u ask me

 

[~SC~]

Thanks Protein, no biggie, just wanted to speak about what I do just to differentiate myself and what I do from the older stuff.

BA, thanks it's great yes, but there is far more to it than carbs after training. That's not even 1/3 of the focus, and I have 3 programs, so that's not even a focus in two of them.

Socrates.. do you have to be a qualified nutritionalist working in the field to be able to give great advice and help hundreds if not thousands of people via the internet, all who can probably show great results?
Most of the guys and girls here give gread advice but some are not nutritionalists by profession. I myself have a degree in computer science. Don't discount any knowledge but take with a pinch of salt (just watch the sodium )

 

[~SC~]

I must say that BA gives some really good advice as well, I've seen nutritionist WITH degress give shitty advice!!!! He knows his stuff.

Same w/trainers at commercial gyms who have their neat little certifications, but look like a 160 lb geek, and don't know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to what REALLY works.

Far too many of these ass-clowns!

Actuallu, I AM in school to be a registered dietitian later, and I happen to think Mister X and SwoleCat are good bros, with alot of helpful knowledge.

PF, those diets mentioned are distinctly different. I don't see Swolegenics and The Warrior Diet being that similar, other than a great deal of focus on meal timing and content being based on factors that most people do not take into account when planning their diets. So, what they have in common is that they complex diets and require one to really think about what they are going to eat and when, but the dynamics of the two are very different.
