Who is currently doing the ANPB Diet?
- Thread starter MattRecc
- Start date
yes i am as a matter of fact. im using next nutrition protien and smucker's all natty pb. im gonna stick to it till i get to 8 percent bf. so far this is day 1. training will be tonight @ 6 pm so i cant tell you if its affected my workouts. hhhmmm maybe ill start a online diary or some shit
well before i really didnt have much of a diet, i was bulking (used to be sooo scrawny), used to just eat TONS of protein, and junk foods once or twice a week. I started the anpb yesterday, and have been eating 3.2 tablsps of anpb and 25 grams of whey every 2-2.5 hours. So far i havent had any craving for anythign else, and i actually feel full afterwards. Im just interested to see where my strength is at tonight at my workout so ill post up later on.
im one of those people that LOVES pb, but i dont really take my time to eat it, i eat the 3.2 tblsp 6 times a day, it basically works out to 3 times b4 workout, 3 times after, i agree the whey in water definitely is not my favorite, but its only one scoop, so i slam that shit down, or some meals (when i have access to a blender, throw the servings of anpb in the shake with some crushed ice, it gives it a little more flavor.
Believe me i was more surprised than i thought i would be that the pb actually hasnt made me really sick to my stomach, and it has definitely killed my cravings so far, but theres always that breaking point, but that hopefully wont come until the refeed.
Also, i would have to ask Mr. X, but it might be ok to substitute something like chicken breasts for the pb and maybe add a tblsp of oil to the shake for some of the meals.

I posted my update actually in the ANPB sticky thread. It's on page 6 I believe. We both mix our PB into our shake. Gives the shake a better flavor since we make the shake with water.
i've been on the ANPB diet for two weeks (will be two weeks on Sunday).
I feel like I'm actually eating more than when I was on purely a restriced calorie diet and I'm losing weight alot faster.
I'm 6'2 and two weeks ago weighed 225 and had approx 13-14% bf, this morning I weighed 216.5. I haven't had the bf checked but I'm sure its gone down. Over the two weeks my workouts really haven't changed much or been affected. They are just as intense as before so its not sapping any energy. I lift 4-5 times a week and do cardio 3-4 for 35 minutes.
My goal was to lose 2 lbs/week and its obviously gone alot faster than that. I'm also taking Bontril (phendemetrazine) which is awesome (good energy level, intense workouts, v. few hunger sensations).
I'll let you know how it goes, I'm curious to hear how other people are handling the refeed days.

No dextrose in your PW shake: only eat the foods outlined in the diet. The dextrose WOULD defeat the purpose.

i started the anpb diet yesterday. im 5'7, weigh 245-249, depending what day it is, im guessing im around 30%BF. my goal is to be 190 lbs. and 10-12%bf. i have never been that low before, but my diet has always sucked ass. so, if this works for me it will work for ANYONE. i will keep my results posted on here.

Ive been on it a week, at 6'2", started at 226, now down to 222, and took a day off for a buddy's birthday and had a few beers and am at 222, the next day after, started back up on it again. It does make me a little drowsy, but much less so than the normal CKD, also I get no cravings at all, and my roommate eats Tater Tots and Pizza like 3 times a day, and I haven't come off it yet, cept to have a few beers on a Birthday. Cravings are not an issue, its just hard to get all hte peanut butter down, so in the morning I have 5tbsp of ANFB, and a scoop of whey, and then only 1 tbsp for the next meal with a can of tuna. Then the other 4 meals are pretty much on the money.
No issues with constipation due to high fiber content of hte ANFB, and at $1.86 a jar of ANFB, this is very cost effective

Second day on the diet.
Down 5 lbs and 1" on the waist.
The day when allright untill nighttime kicked in, then my cravings went up.
Also, Im not sure what happened, but I started feeling like major shit towards the end of the night.
The thought of peanut butter made me gag, so I just went to sleep.
I continued the diet this morning and felt good until about 4:00pm, then I started feelings like absolute crap(Felt like I had a fever/Headache) along with fatigue, and a good case of the brain jitters.
I did not want to stay in this state, so I went ahead and had a chicken salad with some crackers.
I feel a hell of alot better now, and about to go to the gym.
Im not sure what is going on, but Im gonna switch to a more balanced diet, and just work my ass off in the gym.
This is wierd, because I felt great on ckd.
Anyway just the thought of anpb at the moment makes me want to gag.

after that kind of success you're going to bail?
HS,
the fever/headache pby comes from drinking too little water. I had to almost double my water intake to keep from feeling sick to my stomach.
I also had trouble sleeping the first few days but popped some ambien and was good to go. Body must have adjusted cuz now i sleep like a baby.
hang in there

you should be drinking at least 2 gal anyway...
if you were on a ckd, you can't say the headache was from NP because NP has way more carbs than you would be gettin on CKD....
i bet you were gettin more carbs than you thought on CKD...

Bros - honeslty this diet is a complete joke....think about what you are doing, what you are consuming and how it is making you feel...I promise you, a diet with moderate fats and carbs and high protein will yield you HUGE benefits......may take a little longer, but it's worth it........flame the PB diet and see your progress....

I just started this and to spice it up a bit I have added one can of tuna a day and 2 servings of beef broth. Just to give me some symblance of food and flavor in the day. It has helped a bunch and I am still feeling a lot of energy, having great workouts, and feel "lighter". I do not want to take measurements yet. Want to wait about a week or so and see then, so I don't get discouraged early on. I think it is going to work out for me.

This is my 9th day of the PB diet.
It is going pretty well, although I tried it right b4 thanksgiving for 1 day and gave it the boot. I am actually really surprised that I made it this far with no cravings, and it's easy.
I'm 5'4, 143, BF=26-28%
(this was the 1st day I got BF test since start of diet. so I don't know of any progress yet).
My energy level has been pretty good.
Does anyone know about the Refeed? I saw it mentioned a couple of times... but haven't really heard what it is or how to do it. is there a link?
thanks guys

Thanks Thai.
I just weighed and on day 6 I have reached my goal, I have lost 10 pounds. Trust me, I have much more to go. I have decided to try and stick to it while traveling for Xmas.
Except for the 25th, of course. I have much cooking and eating to do that day. YUM!
Oh, I can get in to the clothes I was going to wear traveling. Go Diesel jeans!!!!! Yippee!
Mr. X rocks my world!!!!

although the scale doesn't say any different... (I have been between 142-144 for a couple of months) I have been lifting and doing cardio intensly for 2 -3 mons.
so, something MUST be changing and I was able to fit into an old pair of (small) jeans... that is a good feeling

Not meaning to slam Beachbuff (I'm glad to hear she's losing weight and having success!), but most of her weight loss was probably water weight. If you haven't been restricting carbs, just making the move to a low carb diet will quickly drop off a bunch of water. This has happened to me several times --I drop 10 lbs very quickly when I first start to diet, then my weight loss always slows down to 1-3 lbs/week after that.
Another problem I see a lot on this board is that a many people underestimate their calorie intake (you should use a site like fitday to keep closely keep track for a while) or they overestimate their calorie needs (sometimes both). I see a lot of posts from people smaller then I am who can't figure out why they aren't losing weight while eating 2500+ calories/day. I'm 220 lbs (about 10% BF), and I have to drop my intake down to about 2300 calories/day to see any significant weight loss. If you're not highly active (desk job, etc...), I think LBM x 12 is a good place to start. You kind of have to start thinking LBM, not just total BW. BF takes almost nothing to maintain, and adding that weight into your calorie-need calculations will screw you up!
Just my 2 cents!

Heh, don't get me wrong, I could never do this diet. The main reason I work out is so I can eat whatever I want, be it ice cream or chocolate chip cookies. Most people on this board would cry if they saw my diet.
And consequently I don't have an award winning bodybuilding physique. I am in good shape and I can see my abs (mostly). Being that dedicated to low BF just isn't in me, but I can understand why some people do the things they do.

Starting it today. 3rd meal is at 1:45 PM.
177 lbs, no idea of bodyfat but my lower stomach is very slightly thicker than the area just above it, so I've got a bit of a gut. I bulked very sloppy. Not too proud of that, but whatever. I'm hoping I can cut down a lot of weight on this diet.
Does anyone know about coming off of it? Whether or not you have to slowly reintroduce carbs or not?

started today. no time like the present. holiday eating go to me. i'll be going back to college soon though, so i'll have my motivation back, ie, hot chicks everywhere....as opposed to a family full of carb junkies. very hard to keep on track in that environment. anyways, i'll do this for a week or two, and by then all the bulking supps will be here, and i will embark on my first bulker. should be fun. gl to everyone on this diet

This has got to be the easiest diet I've seen in terms of cooking and prep work. The key to this diet would be keying in on the fact that you are on a DIET and this is a program. If you can convince yourself that food is for self preservation only and not for enjoyment then this would be easy. If I wern't on SGX I'd be all over this.
