If so what was your experience while on said diet?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Have any of you gone on the anabolic diet or the T-dawg diet?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm getting the tiredness too. From what I understand its caused by the body trying to use carbs for energy and their aren't any in there (at least less then 30g/day worth). So hopefully it'll adapt/convert to using fat soon.

Are you still on the anabolic diet, if not how long were you on it for? How long did it take you to get 'fat adapted', ie when did the tiredness go away?wolf116 said:I've been on both diets and absolutely love them, I have more energy and my abs come through.
Downside is the couch crashing after a carb up. And trying to eat your fruit and veggies.

I've heard it takes like 3 weeks. And with my work and lifestyle, there are better options for me.

3 weeks you say? The highest I've seen including from stronglifts says it takes 1-2weeks max. I think I'd quit if it took 3 weeks for me too.. lol (hoping thats seriously not the case).
The biggiest problem I'm running into right now is I didn't realize soooo many things have carbs in them! Some of the beef meals I cooked last week I added bbq sauce, with peanuts, raisins and pineapple. All of those have frekin carbs in them! Even soy sauce has carbs.. sheesh. This is going to take some time to get use to.
I don't want to go crazy counting.. so I eat veggies, (only count as 2g carbs per cup for brocolli and 4g carbs/cup for green beans) and limit myself to only 1 meal from that batch a day (Its anal.. but I also remove/don't eat the pineapple from said batch).

I'm not on it anymore because of money issues but I was on the anabolic for about 4 months then went to a Warboss Alex T-dwag variation for 2 months.JohnnyIrish said:Are you still on the anabolic diet, if not how long were you on it for?

I was tired the first month then had more energy then ever. I was mostly adapted at 2 weeks and after a month toilet functions were normal.
Even though I'm not on it now Im definitely still fat adapted. I just can't handle any carbs. I only eat carbs when I know it's OK to have a couch crash.

does HIIT burn fat faster then the anabolic diet or vice versa? maybe even a combination of both?

They both burn fat in different ways.guayaballer said:does HIIT burn fat faster then the anabolic diet or vice versa? maybe even a combination of both?
HIIT speeds up your metabolism while the anabolic diet changes your metabolism to prefer burning fat rather then carbs for energy. Sure one could combine them to burn fat faster.

Interesting.. do you have a link?eldafar said:Stronglifts says combining HIIT with anabolic is not a good idea. HIIT eats up your GI stores like crazy, and since you're pretty much out of GI by mid week you're gonna go catabolic if you do HIIT.
Its just that I've read that while on the anabolic diet people usually report having a lot more energy and enhanced endurance (cardio) as the body now uses fat for fuel (and thus has a surplus of energy as we all have fat on us).
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
