Chest, calves, abs, and the Anabolic diet

Last night after having a awful pop tart eating fest, after eating clean all day; I decided to go on the anabolic diet. What triggered me eating 4 pop tarts in a record 5 minutes was the fact that church lasted longer than expected. I had gone 4 hours without eating triggered my need for eating a large amount of carbs. The answer to my sugar addiction is the anabolic diet. I started it today and planning on staying on it. My induction phase of the diet ends on 2-15-08. I will eat only 30g (About 5% of total calories) of carbs per day, 30 % protein, and 60% and above of my calories from fat. Instead of using sugar/glucose/glycogen as an energy source, I will burn fat for energy from the food I eat and from the body fat that is currently stored on my body. This is a hardcore diet, but I'm into hardcore things. I will limit my Betagen intake to once per day instead of 3x per day since it contains 5g of carbs per serving. I will eat 5-6 servings of low carb veddies per day and a lot of nuts, seeds, and whey isolate. In addition to eating only healthy fats, I will supplement my diet with essential fats like Flax seed and coconut oil. I will be on a modified anabolic diet since I'm a vegetarian I don't eat meat. Usually meat is a big part of the anabolic diet, but not in my case. I expect to see some extreme results on this diet. This diet is totally opposite of the food pyramid---it's thinking way outside the box--I like it.

On Saturday I did do a shoulder workout and lots of low intensity cardio (walking 5-8 miles per day). I plan on walking 3-8 miles per day every day. Walking is a wonderful low intensity exercise, and especially easy to do when on only 30g of carbs.
Upon wakening this mornning, I walked 3+ miles on an empty stomach. Later on this afternoon, I did some weight training. I went to use the potty when I first got to the gym. I sat my lifting gloves on the bathroom sink. I was in the bathroom for all of one minute. When I came out of the stall, I found out that someone had stolen my lifting gloves. Theives suck!!!!! If it is not yours, don't take it!!!! I weight trained chest, abs, and calves.

*5 minute warmup walk on the treadmill
*incline bench press 3 sets
*flat barbell bench press 3 sets

*machine chest press machine 3 sets
*incline pushups 3 sets

Before going to bed, I will walk (at a slow/moderate pace)3 more miles.
