Hi clay thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions, i am just starting my third week and i am still so confuse about the diet. let me tell you where i am coming from and where i am standing at: I am 37, 6 feet tall, work out 4 times a week. I am not 100% of my BF i have visited few web sites and they all tell you where to pick the skin in order to measure some said vertical 2 cms beside the umbilical; other horizontal 2 inches above your waist, i was do it the later for some time and i saw mt BF was low yet i could not see my abs that well, so when i started with the diet i was weight: 92.8 kls; waist 88 cms “BF” 13.3% (i was assuming the measurement was above the waist).
A week into the diet 89.5 kgs; waist 87 cms; “BF” 11.5% (same mistake as before). Day 11th into the diet weight 89.5; waist 85.5 cms, now i started measuring beside the umbilical 15% BF. this was diet meal 1- 5 whole eggs 1 tsp granola oil ; 2meal- salad, 60 gr tuna, 50 gr sunflower seed, 1 tsp granola oil; 3 meal- 200grs of coli-flower or cabbage, 150 grs ground beef; 4- meal same as second, 5 meal, same vegetables the third and 150 grs chicken breast, in all my meals i put 1 tsp of granola oil,. this is 2500 kcls i just could not afford more than this. Finally weekend came in this is what i eat: 100 grms of oat meal with milk, some cookies, lots of milk, fruit salad, sesame seed bar candy (100 gr) 100 gr of past with yellow cheese, 100 grs of corn flour tortilla, and lot of milk. and some chocolate. my numbers after the weekend waist 87 cms, weight 91.5 kls, BF 15% Now my questions: did i fail by gaining back kilos? was i suppose to gain some back? my BF why it did not drop? am i doing anything wrong? there is this calculation i found that doesnt use calippers and according to it i am 15 % BF too, they use: weight, age, gender, waist in inches, so after doing both messuraments they both agree i am 15% BF, my goal is 9% 10& BF. Am i heading the right direction or am i failing on something? your help is so much apreacite it.

Hey, great blog, I’ve been following your version of the anabolic diet and have shifted some fat! I’d like to know what you substitute for eggs? They are a key component of this diet.

Cheers

Hey Clay,
I am 16 years old and have been on the “Anabolic Diet” for 13 weeks now. I have been messing around with short muscle gaining, cutting, and maintenance phases just to see how my body reacts. And I lift hard 5 days a week. I am, as of this morning, 8.7% body fat at 150 pounds. I can’t decide whether to do your 8 week gaining phase or continue to cut body fat so i don’t gain as much fat during the 8 weeks. You said that if you can’t see your abs clearly then you don’t start to gain. Well i can see mine but not a clearly as i would like. So any suggestions or comments you have please let me know.

Thanks
-Jim

Of course! You’ll need to play around and see what your body likes.

You don’t even need to eat cottage cheese. You could eat a piece of meat with similar protein levels, or three or four eggs.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with these foods to see what works best for you!

I mix the two of them together in a bowl with a spoon. I hated cottage cheese before, too, but god I love it so much when it’s mixed in with peanut butter. Throw in a tiny bit of good chocolate protein powder (just for flavoring, I don’t use a ton for the protein, don’t like how my body feels with it) and you have one of my favorite quick treats. I think what grosses most people out about cottage cheese is the texture, but try it with some peanut butter and/or a touch of chocolate protein powder — force through the texture — and I can almost guarantee you’ll fall in love with it.

Meal 6 has cottage cheese and PB…do you blend that together or are you just eating it straight up? I can’t stand cottage cheese no matter how hard I try to love it, haha.
