I gained it back (well, I was 3 pounds lighter when I weighed myself for this little gig than when I started that diet) but only because I couldn't stay on the diet. It's really quite difficult to eat low carb in this society unless you have the time and ability to plan out your meals in advance. I suffer from low blood sugar and if I go to long without eating, I start to bonk. The problem with that is, trying to find a quick low carb snack at work is a joke, unless I brought all my food for the day, prepared in advance. Which takes time. Planning on buying a mini fridge and stocking it with veggies and hard boiled eggs, lunchmeat, cheeses, stuff like that for eating on thruout the day.
After reading more of TREETOAD's posts, I remember why the Anabolic Diet pulls you off the low carb after 5 days. Ketosis, which is basically your body eating your muscle for fuel because of the absense of carb fuel. Doesn't really matter for dieters but bad news for bodybuilders, and to a certain extent, climbers.
Be happy to send anybody interested a .pdf of the book.
