The Anabolic Diet was created by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale with the aim to help individuals increase muscle mass while decreasing body fat. The diet plan for the Anabolic Diet has individuals following a low carbohydrate diet during the week and a high carbohydrate diet on the weekends. This switching between high and low carbohydrate days is done to teach the body to start burning fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Dieters are advised to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. Below are two sample meal plans for both the low carbohydrate days and the high carbohydrate days.

Utilizing the above meal plans, you can begin to recognize how to create a meal plan for the Anabolic Diet. During the low carbohydrate days, focus on meats and cheese. You will want foods with both protein and fat. The ratio for these days is 60% fat, 30% protein and no more than 25% carbohydrates. Dieters should not consume more than 30 g of carbohydrates. For the high carbohydrate days, focus on consuming foods that are heavy in starches or flour. The ratio for these days is 15% protein, 15 to 20% fat and the remaining 65% from carbohydrates. Individuals are advised to daily eat 5 to 8 g of carbohydrates per pound of body weight during the high carbohydrate days.

Follow these meal plans or create you own and in 3 to 4 weeks, Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale states that you will begin to see an increase in muscle mass and a decrease in body fat.
