t
aids in decreasing the amount of muscle that could be lost during a workout or over the course
of a diet phase.
Research has shown that the ketone bodies burned for energy in the Anabolic Diet, D-beta-
hydroxybuterate and acetoacetate, actually decrease protein catabolism.^7 A recent study with
laboratory rats also showed that a combined treatment with insulin, testosterone and a high
fat/high protein diet led to decreased loss of muscle protein and growth caused by the catabolic
hormone corticosterone.^8 Another showed higher protein gains and lower fat gains for rats on
a high fat diet.^9 The implications for similarly decreased catabolism in humans through adopting
the high fat diet are obvious.
METABOLIC BENEFITS OF THE ANABOLIC DIET
- Burning Fat Instead Of Glucose Promotes Lipolysis (Fat Loss)
- Burning Fat Instead Of Glucose Decreases Lipogenesis (Fat Production)
- Without Dietary Fat, The Body Stores Fat In Excess
- Muscle Protein Is Protected
- Bodyfat Is More Mobile And Pleasingly Distributed
FAT IS NOT THE ENEMY
People have a bad attitude about dietary fat, and its most often based on total mistruth. They
think that if you eat fat, you get fat. That’s what everybody in the media, medical, and food
industry is telling them. Why question it?
The fact is, sometimes you’ve got to question authority. The reality is that the less fat you
eat, the more your body will want to store it and pack it on when given the opportunity. Much
of this comes from the chronic levels of high insulin caused by high carb diets discussed earlier.
These chronic levels will really pack the fat on when present. The more carbs you eat, the more
insulin you’ll produce and the more fat you’ll pack. Though it may sound crazy, the truth is
that YOU’LL GAIN MORE FAT WITH THE HIGH CARB DIET THAN THE HIGH
FAT, HIGH PROTEIN VARIETY WE’RE GIVING YOU HERE!
If you have no dietary fat in the body, the body wants to produce it. It anticipates disaster
and wants to store it up as a hedge against hard times. The body is a conservative instrument,
especially in matters of survival. What happens when you’re on the Anabolic Diet is that the
body recognizes it’s got fat in abundance, and biochemically recycles it. If the body doesn’t have
it, it’s going to lay down plenty of fat from the precious amount its given.
And if you want to lose fat, the high carb diet can’t compete with the Anabolic Diet in any
way. The high fat diet radically activates the enzymes for fat breakdown in the body. You become,
basically, a fat burning machine and you’ll use up the fat you’ve just ingested—and that already
on your body—much more readily.
Another important aspect of the Anabolic Diet we’ve found is that BODYFAT IS MORE
