About the ANPB Diet...

[Tom Treutlein]

First off, I've been considering this diet. The only problem is, it seems rather unhealthy to follow. Getting all the nutrients from vitamins? Doesn't seem wise. What's the deal here?

Secondly, can one use whey protein alone, rather than a blend? Would the diet still work with WPC? I use ON's 100% Whey. It's cheap, and easy for me to get down, so I'd prefer to stick with this. Will the diet still work?

Third, do you need to go into ketosis for this diet to work? Was that the actual point of it, or is that just a side-effect of it?

I wouldn't worry about the vitamins thingy. When I do this diet I go like 7-10 days with just anpb and protein powder and I am still alive.

Some people can't get into ketosis with whey as it digests too fast and converts to glucose. I seem to be able to use it. I did feel that I got better results when I used just calcium casienate. The aussie cassienate from protein factory is a pretty good deal. I always use it before bed.

Yep its a keto diet. I would not even consider doing it unless it was. Why go through the hassle of eating one thing for a week if you don't get the massive fat loss.

Can you personally attest to its worth?

7-10 days is a small time to run a diet. What about a month without the vitamins?

I have been on the diet for 6 weeks. Going 6 days and 1 refeed each week just anpb and whey NO CHEATS. I have just whey right now, but will try the mixed protein when this runs out. I have lost 11 pounds. That roughly 2 pounds a week well 1.833333... actually. So the diets worth is what you put into it. You read a lot of negative stuff about it but if you are like me and don’t have a lot time during the week...it’s the perfect fat loss diet. It may not work for you but I am happy with the results and sticking with it.

Why would you go a month without the vitamins? The diets says take them everyday...

My body adapts to it very fast. I Do it one cycle through and then do a giant carb load(1500 grams carbs over a 36 hour peroid). I then go maintenance for about a week or two and then do it again. This for me is the best way to gain good quality muscle while losing fat. Sacrificing muscle mass is no option for me, thus this is the way to go for me

I take vitamins everyday.
