The Anabolic Diet

The anabolic diet is a low-carb diet that alternates between low-carb and high-carb days.
Alternating carbohydrate intake allows you to burn more fat as fuel. This will enable you to preserve as much muscle mass as possible.
In a typical diet, all three macronutrients — carbohydrates, protein, and fat — are used. For athletes, weightlifters, and bodybuilders, this natural process is a concern when they want to lose weight while preserving muscle gains. The benefit of the anabolic diet is that it’s not calorie-restrictive.
The body needs calories to maintain muscle mass, so any decrease in caloric intake can lead to a loss of lean body mass. Instead, the plan promises to alter metabolism to favor fat, allowing you to eat an average amount of calories while still seeing a reduction in body fat percentage.
