animalbolics diet help

[georgie24]

ive read it over and over i and i still dont have it down pat, i weigh 235 pounds so if i times that by 10 thats 2350 calories

so my postworkout meal would mean i take in...

235 carbs
235 protein
divided by two meals correct??

should i count the calories from the day meals as well

i have a few more questions

1. are post workout shakes ok w/ skim milk?
2.can i drink crystal light during the day?

I dont think this is right.. i made an excel worksheet that when you put in your wieght.. it will automattically calculate all the values for the animalbolic diet.. i will post it later.. i am at work now and it is on my computer at home.

If you read it correctly, then I suggest you disregard the discard that chart.

Par Dues, you seem to be the diet authority here and I was wondering what your take on animalbolics is. Do you approve of the diet for a cutting diet that maintains strength or do you disagree with its principles?

 

[georgie24]

what if i dont train that day? how should i eat

 

[slowgain]

Good question georgie24, I too am on the animalbolics but am still confused about what to do on my nontraining days. Oh, and Par Dues to clarify my question. I'm curious as to how this diet which incorpartes a daily refeed will affect leptin levels and your set point bodyfat, like you describe in your article "Leptin the Next big thing" I really don't understand how leptin is controlled other than as body fat decreases it goes down and a high carb day increases leptin levels. So will this diet hit a "leptin wall" like all other diets and is some sort of refeed day needed on this type of diet?

I think it is a pretty decent diet -- cyclical isocaloric is better, though. It is basically the same thing, but with more carbs in all of the regular meals and maybe more on the refeed (not sure how many animal recommends)

 

[georgie24]

par dues

what about non training days (animalbolics)

Re: par dues

Isn't it basically a keto diet with some fruit...???? Again, decent, but it would not optimize leptin, due to the lack of carbohydrates.

here is the info about "Refeed"

Par Dues, I really don't think of this diet as a keto at all during the day the body howevers in ketosis but after workout up to 200g of carbs are had to replace glycogen supplies. It really is a one meal diet.

 

[georgie24]

i agree this diet is farthest from a keto, for the simple fact we take in alot of carbs post workout, (no offense par deus)

georgie24,

You got it wrong.

It's 1g of carbs per kg of bodyweight. 235lb is about 106kg. Then divide that # by 2.5 to get how many grams of protein. So your meal would be :

106g of carbs
42g of protein

Immediately post workout, then 1h-2h after that again.

hope that helps.

Whoops -- meant TKD (Targeted Ketogenic Diet).

It seems to be quite similar to that.
