looking for high fat, high protein, low/zero carb bulking diet...

Ok guys...after my 1.5 week hiatus from weights after my show, it is time to get my ass working hard again. I want to start bulking asap, but want to go about it with a different approach this year.

I have noticed NO added benefits from when I add LARGE amounts of carbs into my diet as opposed to just eating high amounts of calories(both protein and fat). I am looking for a diet that is predominantly fat+protein, but may include a carb refeed 1-2 times per week.


Again, this is a BULKING diet I'm looking for, although it does closely resemble a lot of cutting diets.



anyone know of anything similar to this? Reps for the help

Sounds like a Keto diet, try taking a look on their board.

ehhh yes and no. I like the idea of carb refeeding which doesnt really fall into keto I dont believe. I'll look around though

I;m thinking of going that way myself considering I'm on a pretty reduced carb diet anyway.

i gained some good muscle, and lost insane amounts of fat while doing a zero carb/refeed style cut. with the extra calories, i think i can pack on some SERIOUS size this year

I know I can consume more cals now than on my regular 40/40/20. Curious.

You're welcome.

As far as my personal experience, yes, you can bulk with it but it's slower since you're not putting on hardly any fat at the same time.

yea, i've noticed I can eat far more calories this way. It seems the more fat I eat, the better I look...and the more carbs I eat, the worse I look. Me and carbs just dont mix.

Yeah, cyclic ketogenic diet... ckd. Weekly or biweekly carb re-feed.

Here is what I've Been doing

Its a Vince Gironda Plan :

Breakfast : Shake
Mid Morning : Shake
Lunch : 1/2 to 1 pound meat and veggies ( preferably red meat)
mid after noon : shake
diner : same as lunch, or with a salad
before retirin : shake

The shake is 6 raw eggs + 6 oz half and half, + half a banana

4 shakes a day, that make 24 eggs in total. You can go up to 36. But I can't 24 is hard enough.

I've been gaining solid muscle for the last 8 weeks

I know what you're looking for.
