Well
friends, I started the Anabolic Solution formally the Anabolic Diet a few weeks
ago and I feel great so far.
The premise
is to eat fat to lose fat. The diet is high fat, moderate protein and low
carbohydrate. Why moderate protein? Well as surprising as it may be, protein
can be converted to glucose and stored as fat if you have too much. Especially,
if you are pounding large amounts of whey protein.
Some amino
acids are both glucogenic and ketogenic.
The typical
day of anabolic diet breaks the macro nutrients down as:
75% fat
20% protein
5%
carbohydrate
Total carbs
are around 30 grams for most. At least that is the starting point. You start
there and tinker with it until you figure out what works for you. The number
may be higher or lower.
Below are my
results so far.
Below is a
sample day of eating for me that includes the infamous butter coffee.
Here is my
version of butter coffee.
2 – 3 cups
of coffee
1 – 2 tablespoons
of butter
2 – 4 ounces
of half and half
1 teaspoon
of Slim Fast High Protein Carmel Latte
