While Dr.Di Pasquale asserts that the Anabolic Diet is not a
ketogenic diet in the strict sense, it is still based around
some of the same physiological principles
.

Unlike conventional dieting strategies that focus specifically on
building muscle or burning fat for extended periods of time,
the Anabolic Diet is a tri-phasic diet comprised of:
maintaining, bulking, and cutting.

If you're wondering why the program is called the "Anabolic
Diet" it's because Dr. DiPasquale believes that
macronutrient manipulation and food choices he recommends
are conducive to maximizing your endocrine system
functioning. He has made the boisterous claim that the diet
has "steroid-like" effects but that's a bit overzealous.

Dr. DiPasquale is pretty firm on his stance that saturated
fats are a good fuel source and essential for optimal
hormone production. Thus, for weekdays (low-carb days), he
tends to suggest:

  • Fatty cuts of animal proteins (especially red meats)
  • Whole eggs
  • Full-fat dairy products like cheese, cream, butter etc.
  • Oils, preferably canola, peanut, flax, macadamia, olive, and
  • coconut varieties
  • Nuts and nut spreads
  • Fibrous vegetables, especially greens like lettuce,
  • broccoli, celery, etc.
