Yeah, i also take some eca in the morning. Previously i was using xenadrine, this time I am giving md6 a shot. Actually im not using the md6 just yet, im waiting for the weight loss to slow down and im going to use them to give it a jump start. I am also taking some pure glutamine powder everyday, and thats about it for the supps.
My diet is pretty much the same. I eat all protien and fat during the day. Sometimes ill throw in a piece of fruit or two, which ill try to keep low on the gi chart. Occasionally before my workout, about an hour before, ill drink a cup of grape juice, or something with alot of quick carbs, to give me some energy for my workout. After my workout, I do the post workout meal a little differently. I actually split up the post workout meal into two meals. Right after the workout I will have a myoplex shake and a cup or two of brown rice. After that I will wait about an hour and a half and I will repeat the same type of meal, this time maybe some chicken and a baked potatoe or some brown rice. And then i sleep.
By splitting up the two meals instead of eating one big meal, I feel that my body is supplied with nutrients for a longer time. Also with the brown rice, or baked potatoe, my insulin level is higher during the postworkout period, and also stays elevated for a longer period of time, driving more protien/nutrients into my muscle during the 2 hour golden opportunity window for recovery.
The whole point of this diet from what i can grasp, and i have read quite a bit about it is:
1. Keep your carbs down during the day nothing except occasional fruit, which should also be kept to a minimum. During this period of time your body will not be releasing any insulin, and therefore FFA's or free fatty acids or "Your Fat" will be released into the blood easier and therefore burned away much quicker.
2. After your workout, your body should be fully depleted of any muscle glycogen or carbs stored in your body. So now you have had no insulin or very little flowing through your body all day. So after your workout, you basically want to shock your body with alot of carbs, alot of protien, and very little if any fat. According to animal this spikes your insulin way up and drives the protien nutrients into your muscles for the recovery. By starving yourself of carbs all day, your insulin sensitivity should be high and your postworkout meals should have more of an effect then a normal postworkout meal.
3. After your postworkout meals.. thats it no more carbs till the next day after your next workout. And if you don't workout that day, then guess what? No carbs for you all day and all night.
If you would like to read up on this diet there are three excellent articles on ironmag.com in the nutrition section. Of course, the animalbolics diet/warrior diet will vary from person to person because some people have found that certain things work better for them during this diet. But the basic ideas, and main point of the diet is too manipulate your insulin levels to cause fat loss throughout the day and then an anabolic state after your workout. Therefore in theory, allowing you to loose fat and gain muscle at the same time. And so far I can vouch for that, because it has worked so great for me.
