Anabolic Diet
Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale promoted this diet to enable dieters to reach their fat loss goals without losing muscle mass. It has a strong following in the bodybuilding community although it could equally apply to any exerciser who wants to achieve their ideal physique.
The Anabolic Diet is a low carbohydrate diet that alternates with periods of high carbohydrate eating. The basic concept is that you will turn your body into a ‘fat burning machine’ rather than one that uses carbohydrates as the major source of fuel.
For the first week of the diet carbohydrate intake is limited to 30 grams a day or less so as to ensure that the changeover happens as quickly as possible. Exercise during this week can also speed up the change from carbohydrate to fat burning. This is followed by a switch over has occurred dieters then start to incorporate periods of eating high carbohydrates.
Anabolic diet’s first phase consist of diet comprising of 60% fat, 35% protein, and only 5% carbs while second phase consist of diet comprising of 30% fat, 10% protein, and a whopping 60% carbs

Drawback of Anabolic Diet
The initial phase of anabolic diet is very low carb, which is designed to get your body into fat burning mode as quickly as possible.
- During this phase dieters may experience some uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog, which generally go away within 48 hours as the body makes the switch from running on carbohydrates to running on fats.
- Cravings for carbohydrate at first, until the body goes through the readjustment phase. To combat sweet cravings, dieter can eat a ton of sugar-free Jell-O with whipped cream while on anabolic diet, which doesn’t contain any carbs.
