ABCDE Diet
The next generation
By TC
""A few years back, a magazine I used to work for published something called the ABCDE, or Anabolic Burst Cycling of Diet and Exercise, program (hey, I had nothing to do with the name). The premise was fairly simple:
Eat your lungs out for two weeks, devouring anything and everything you could get your hands on—doughnuts, cake batter, small pets, children, anything was fair game. Supposedly, this would elicit a whole host of hormonal cascades that would lead to additional muscle mass. Then, after your two-week hogfest was over, you'd go on a fairly severe diet for another two weeks. Supposedly, this would enable you to jettison some of the lard that you picked up the previous two weeks while retaining some or all of the muscle. ""
