My buddy and I are considering giving the AD a try, but we had a couple questions first. We’re both collegiate baseball players, and we have almost a full year until our season comes around.
Neither of us do any bodybuilding, and we were just wondering how long we could/should continue the diet? Is there a good way to phase off the AD, i.e. a moderate carb diet?
We are both looking to put on some muscle mass while reducing body fat, and from all the reading on this site and elsewhere, this seems like a good way (if not the best way) to achieve our current goals.
I got off recently - I really slowly upped the carbs. There’s some Berardi articles on this site that help with that (do a search for “get un-shredded”) and explain how some carbs can be phased back in.
However, I seem to be more on it than of it again, by still eating mostly low-carb and spiking up now and then - however, it’s a modified version that looks way more like T-Dawg 2.0.
And yeah, I can’t show enough love to healthy fats mixed nuts - EVOO - flax oil - … for life!
