My carbs are only coming from greens, one or two serving of nuts or nut butter, and trace dairy stuff like my whey shake. Definitely under 30g a day like the diet calls for
Maybe i just need to give it a solid 2 months before casting judgement
You forgot about your cheat day, that I told you would definitely screw up your fat loss plans.
Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale, M.D. was also a world champion Power Lifter. His ANABOLIC DIET wasn't geared to Bodybuilding, it was for building and maintaining over all strength, without accumulating way too much useless body fat. You seem to be confusing the generic word "diet," with fat loss. Not true. "Diet" it is just what you eat. For fat loss, your "diet" must be a "fat loss diet." An Anabolic Diet, with a cheat day once a week, when you pig out on carbs, won't work for body fat loss at all. It will help you maintain weight, while growing muscle, but it won't get rid of appreciable amounts of body fat. To get that done, you have to lose the cheat day, and do the Anabolic Diet 7 days per week, with no cheating at all. Otherwise you are wasting your time.
