What's the expected fat/muscle loss on this?

You're getting enough protein, so muscle loss should be non-existant. Fat loss should be close to CKD, since it's about 50% fat.

Mr.X

So I was just wondering.. should I expect 1 pound muscle loss for every 2 pounds fat, or more like 1 to 1? What did you mean what you said muscle loss should be non-existant but here you said it's hard to keep muscle?

P.S. I have an order of R-ala on the way from AFstore, do you recommend their glutamine too?

Your question is not clear, I did not post that you will lose 1 lb. of muscle for every lb of fat. Re-read it.

Dude,

All X is saying is that when your on a low carb diet it is impossible to gain any muscle mass because you have no extra carbs in the system and your eating below your bmr ...

when your bulking or eating above your bmr, you can gain muscle because of the excess calories. When cutting away the fat you are not gaining muscle, and most time you end up losing a little, but not much as long as you keep training and doing your carb ups every week er so. You could lose 20 pounds when doing a ckd or low carb and stay the same in muscle mass, or if you don't train and get sleep etc, then you will lose, But not 20 pounds of muscle worth unless you are seriousely in starvation mode.

How about replacing the long cardio with High Intensity Interval Training...like 30 sec jog, 30 sec run back and forth etc...?

Thanks:up

I'll follow the routine to a T and report back.

Didn't mean to be so anal, lol

Thanks again-Brandon

Are there any supplements that I should take to ensure I keep the most amount of muscle possible? (not steroids). If I lost 1 pound per week for 8-10 weeks and kept my muscle or only lost a pound or 2 of it I would be a Mr. X fan forever. I'd like to go from a 34" waist to a 32".
hard to keep muscle on this diet but creatine, glutamine and HEAVY lifting along w/ proper sleep should help, don't forget the ALA

Hey guys the AF store has been out of glutamine for a week.. where is a good place to buy good glutamine and what kind of creatine is the good kind now? I haven't used it in a long time. X recommended both to help spare muscle on this diet.

Thank you

Someone posted this on another board, do you have a comment?

"The ratio of Omega3 to Omega6 on the ANPB diet is frightening. Make sure to change about 2 meals a day with fishoils instead of the pb. Among some of the side effects of too high Omega-6(which is found in PB) is MAJOR depression. Just pop 40 caps a day of Fishoil and you'll be fine"
