Is This The Best Bodybuilding Diet On The Planet?

It works by increasing anabolic (muscle building) hormones in the body in the same way that steroids do. The only difference is, it’s safe and natural.
Here’s how…
This diet will naturally maximize your body’s production of the following anabolic hormones:
1. Testosterone
2. Growth Hormone
3. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
Breakdown of the ‘MuscleHack Anabolic Nutritional Strategy’ (MANS)
This plan requires that you eat a high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate diet for 5 and a half days. Then for 36 hours you carb-up. The high protein, high fat part of the diet is what sparks the increase in blood serum levels of:
1. Testosterone
2. Growth Hormone
3. IGF-1 (insulin-like growth hormone production is stimulated by growth hormone)
Fat Adaptation
During the low-carb part of the diet your body will become a fat-burning machine i.e. your body will burn fat as is primary source of fuel due to the relative absence of carbohydrate in the diet. At the beginning of the diet your body will undergo a metabolic shift which normally takes 2-3 days.
The advantages of this are:
- Increased Lipolysis (breakdown of fat)
- Decreased Lipogenesis (production of fat)
- Decreased catabolism (muscle protein is spared from breakdown)
Insulin Isn’t your Enemy
Increasing insulin through a carb-loading period is beneficial because:
- It helps shuttle amino acids into the muscle cells
- Increases Protein Synthesis in skeletal muscle
- Glycogen supercompensation (you’ll look a lot bigger when you carb-load).
How to Start
I recommend you start out at 30 grams of carbohydrate per day and adjust from there. Consume plenty of:
- Red meat
- Chicken
- Eggs
- Non-Starchy Vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, celery-root
- Mushrooms, lettuce, onions, tomato…
- Cheeses
- Cream
- Nuts especially walnuts and almonds
Here’s to the best gains of your life!
