Lifting and ANPB Diet

[SuperShick]

hey guys, i was reading Mr. X's guide on ketosis and how to do CKD training and I think he mentioned something about Atkins diet. This ANPB does seem like an Atkins diet tho doesn't it? High protein, High EFAs, and low carbs? I have always been against Mr. Atkins because i thought his idea was very silly. But it seems like this low carb, high protein really works. BUT....I hear that people that go on this kind of diet, if they have this urge to eat a plate of pasta, the fat will come back two-fold. is this true? Will the fat stay off with this plan? Thanx guys

ANPB is like an atkins diet, but you're not in ketosis 100% of the time.....

you can start eating carbs again, you just need to do it slow - same with anything, if you do a low-fat diet and go eat 10 chuck steaks for a week, that will also happen.

Mr X. i'm not sure i quite know the difference between ketosis and your ANPB diet. Are they different? I did a search on the forums board for keyword: ketosis and i just found different articles talking about it from place to place. You speak of ketosis as if you've given a true definition of it on the board already. I've done some reading on it and i believe that ketosis is when you're in the state of burning fat and you're releasing ketones? something like that?

anyways, i guess this is an atkins diet then. i'm just afraid to blow up. Is the peanut butter diet like once the weight is off, it's off kind of things? anyways, just wondering. thanx Mr. X

ketosis = a state where the body uses ketones - a byproduct of Free fatty acids - as energy , for the first 3 weeks; afterwhich, the body can safely utilize FFA for energy.

if you're not always in ketosis, you're able to keep your leptin and liver glycogen levels up and thus keeping your T4->T3 conversion (metabolism) going

i have a question Mr. X, when i look at nutrition labels and it says 12g of fat, and under it says 1g of saturated fat which i know is the bad fat, can i safely assume that the other 11g are unsaturated fat like poly- and mono-?

yes you can assume it's OTHER fat, but it can also be transfat (hydrogenated oil etc..) which is WORSE then any saturated fat. So, no you can't safely assume that.
