Anabolic Diet

Meaning

The Anabolic Diet is a specific nutritional protocol designed to maximize the body’s anabolic state—the process of building and repairing tissue—primarily through strategic macronutrient cycling. This regimen typically involves periods of very low carbohydrate intake, forcing the body into a state of ketosis, interspersed with short, planned carbohydrate refeeding phases. The goal is to leverage hormonal responses, such as insulin sensitivity and growth hormone release, to optimize body composition by promoting lean muscle accretion and minimizing adipose tissue storage.
