[GFR]

May 15, 2011, Weight 278lbs * all time high weight/fat
Oct 3, 2011, Weight. 274lbs * Start of deit and training.
Oct 26, 2011, Weight. 262lbs
Nov 3, 2011, weight 258lbs * mile stone, in the 250's
Dec 8th, 2011, Weight 244.6
Jan 18th, 2012, Weight 239.8 * mile stone, in the 230's

I will be starting another Anabolic Diet run This Saturday and will run it 4 weeks. This time my carb day will be an 8 hour window, and no more then 400g of carbs during that time. I will also be running more cardio this time around, about twice as much.

My goal keeps changing but I think 220lbs is a good weight, this Anabolic Diet run should take me to 225lbs so very close to my long term goal.

I love this diet and have been using it off and on for awhile. I tend to go overboard on carb days though.

I did a variation of this diet and it worked great for me. Actually gained some muscle and lost a considerable amount of fat. Lost over 6" off my waist! Sun-Thu only 22g of carbs, macros 60-65% fat, 30-33% protein, less then 5% carbs. On Fri, throughout the day was the same, then late afternoon ate some fruit..... then dinner starts the carb up which then ends last meal Sat evening.

Over that period the carb up was 4000 calories, 65% carbs, 15% protein, and 20% fat. The trick is while keeping carbs high you MUST keep fat intake low, which means no pizza, ice cream, etc unless you can work them into your macros. I deviated from that last SuperBowl weekend and ate high carbs and high fat.... by Monday I gained 8 lbs (norm was 2-3 lbs), and it took me almost 2 weeks to get back on track!

It is a big help to use a diet tracker like the free online version of FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal, as it well calculate your macros for you

good work

good work

It's a good start at least. Sitting at around 18% body fat there, want to take it down to 11% and keep it there. Once I get the fat off I can concentrate more on building back some of the muscle mass. Nothing crazy but I would like to put 5lbs more muscle on the upper body.

I did between 2000-2003 ( and one cycle in 1988), tried HRT in 2008 but quit it after 5 weeks. My natural test levels are good now so no need for HRT anymore.

You need at least a carb meal at this point. You should have one every 7th day, so once a week....first 12-14 days till you start this carb meal or carb day.

Eating carbs will jump start your metabolism and you will actually burn more fat. Plus it's healthy to have some fruit, oats ect once a week.

Without a doubt
