Question about ANPB Diet - Mr. X?

[Tom Treutlein]

Two things. One, since the carbs are relatively low, would there be a chance of rebounding after coming off the diet and putting on much of the fat that was lost? If so, what would one do when coming off this diet when they go back to bulking? Or possibly even maintaining.

Second question is in regards to cardio. How much is too much? I like to just lead an active lifestyle, along with some set amounts of cardio. I figured 2-3 AM cardio sessions a week for 45 minutes max at low-intensity. Then, randomly I go swimming, running (to increase my mile time, since I'm also trying to get in better physcial shape regardless), I shadow box and hit the heavy bag, spar with a friend some times, and just tend to walk around a lot.

That being the case, should I just try to do my normal stuff, and if it gets to be too much or too exhausting, then just tone it down? You know, play it by ear? I figure all that work won't really kill me. I also train Westside and preform calisthenics daily or bi-daily to up my muscular endurance. I figure I can gain strength and size from Westside, while using bodyweight training (i.e., Navy SEAL-esque) to increase muscular endurance, and cardio for cardiovascular endurance and fitness.

Follow my CKD log routine for cardio /training

as for the carbs, add them in 50g per week w/ all low-gi (i.e. oatmeal/veggies/beans) until you are at a regular carb intake level (150-200)

Thanks Mr. X! I was wanting to know that too.

However, say you want to go back on a bulking cycle after a CKD/ANPD.

You have a set number of cals to bulk that you have to eventually attain.

What starting point do you use?

Do you just continue for example, a CKD and up the cals weekly adding 50g weekly until you obtain your desired # of daily cals? How do the ratios adjust?
What fat/protein ratios should be used while upping the carbs at the very initial stages after cutting and preparing for bulking?

I want to eventually be at 30/40/30 at around 3,500 cal.

Thanks!

after the CKD, you start adding back carbs until you're at 40%protein/30%carbs/30%fat
keep the cals at weight x 12 until you carb intake is stabilized
