BENEFITS OF THE ANABOLIC DIET MORE MUSCLE, LESS BODY FAT, AND IT’S ALL NATURAL

Low in Fat

For more than 20 years the American public has been told to watch its fat intake or suffer the
consequences. The national “fat hysteria” got so bad that back in 1989 the National Academy
of Sciences advised everybody, regardless of the presence or absence of risk for coronary heart
disease, to go on a restricted diet low in fat. The Lords of Lowfat loved this, and the food industry
proceeded to take advantage of the situation, as they always do, and come out with a whole new
line of “lowfat” or “fat free” products, many of which were neither.

Diet For Heart

Why groups such as premenopausal women and children, who are largely immune to coronary
heart disease, should go on such a restricted diet was not explained. Meanwhile, other complex,
interlinking causes of coronary heart disease like lack of exercise, obesity, stress, genetics and
caloric intake went largely ignored. Fat was the culprit. Any possibility that dietary fat could be
utilized in the cause of good health and physical performance was conveniently dismissed.
As a result, people began eating those carbs. They began watching what they ate. Above all,
they became aware of the fat they were eating and did their best to avoid it like a plague. And,
guess what? As a society we got fatter than ever. We’re getting fatter all the time. The heart
attack parade hasn’t stopped. What’s wrong with this picture?

Bodybuilders and Diet Cycle

Meanwhile, bodybuilders didn’t seem to be getting the kind of growth they were looking for
from all those carbs. Sure, they got big. But they also got fat. By contest time, they were most
often right about where they’d been before they started the whole diet cycle. The siren song of
steroids became ever more inviting.

Anabolic Diet is an Alternative

But now, you’ve got an alternative. A healthy and effective one. It’s called the Anabolic Diet
and it’s been striking telling blows against the Lords of Lowfat and getting bodybuilders the
growth they want without all that added bodyfat. In this chapter we’ll outline the many benefits
to be gained from the Anabolic Diet and begin to look at the reasons why it works. By its end,
I don’t think you’ll be too tempted to return to the old grind of that high carbohydrate diet.

Here are the lists of Anabolic Diet Articles

  • South America: The Greatest Place In The World For Anabolic Diet Style Eating? - This is a quick tip for any readers in the United States who like to travel: If you have the time, I really recommend trying to follow a four-to-eight week training phase while eating a heavy Anabolic Diet-style menu in South America. I’m traveling through here for a few months and the food is amazing.  I’m buying [...]
  • An Example of Building A Symmetrical Body: Growing Bigger Arms - My previous post went over the importance of gauging your progress not necessarily by the weight on your scale, but by how proportional your measurements are. I’ve got a few weaknesses based on my measurements.  My biggest?  My arms.  This is rare in most guys, but is a by-product of reading in my early training days [...]
  • Focus On Your Measurements, Not Your Weight - One of the best ways to track your progress when gaining muscle or losing fat is to take regular pictures of yourself. I can’t tell you what a wake-up call it is when you see your picture and realize you aren’t big, you aren’t cut — you’re just fat. But I used to always look at my [...]
  • A Different Way to Eat Like the Anabolic Diet - High protein, high fat, low carb diets were the norm of the bodybuilding world up until the 1980s, when anti-fat stigmas took hold in the United States, high-carbohydrate diets coming into fashion as a result. The Anabolic Diet is just another take on these high protein, high fat diets.  It features the same foods, in the [...]
  • Anabolic Diet Progress Pictures: January to May, 2008 - I took a picture immediately upon waking up this morning, May 30, 2008.  It’s unflexed and taken literally within four minutes of waking up. I have it side-by-side with one of my earlier pictures, from January 8 of this year. (Side note: oh, how I need a tan!)
  • Vegetables on the Anabolic Diet - As with any bodybuilding method, you want to fit in as many vegetables a day as possible while on the Anabolic Diet. I struggle to get my veggies down.  I used to be far worse, never eating a single green, leafy bite, but now I’ve conditioned myself to sometimes even crave a small salad.  I never [...]
  • Cardio on the Anabolic Diet - The Anabolic Diet is great for leaning out, or even building muscle while staying lean.  But if your body is anything like mine, it needs a little help keeping the pudge off. I highly recommend using some kind of cardio activity while on the Anabolic Diet.  The most effective cardio, for me, might surprise you. Walking. That’s it.  [...]
  • How to lower the cost of, and get, BCAAs cheap - Of the few supplements I use, BCAAs are maybe the most important.  They are the fuel behind my workouts, and in my opinion, an absolute necessity while on the Anabolic Diet.  I originally started using BCAAs upon the recommendation of Christian Thibaudeau and Charles Poliquin over at T-Nation.com. I dose pretty heavily on BCAAs before, during, [...]
  • Fat gain on the Anabolic Diet - Although I tout the Anabolic Diet as the best diet to build muscle with minimal fat gain, it’s still possible to pack on some unwanted pounds while you’re bulking up. However, doing so isn’t entirely necessary, and will only end up being a by-product of laziness on the diet. Eating on high fat, high protein [...]
  • How much fish oil to eat on the Anabolic Diet - Have you ever looked at the back of most fish oil containers? They recommend taking about two to four capsules a day. Yeah, right. I like to eat between 20 and 40 grams of fish oil every day. It’s funny, when I see that amount, I don’t think twice, but the average person absolutely freaks [...]
