I am asking because I've heard the argument that consuming too many nuts is bad because the carbs add up. Almonds (my favorite), seem like a perfect fit for the MANS because of it high fat content and protein content. Another question- Are nuts permitted on the MANS diet?

It is a smart idea atleast to get down to a lower fat percentage before doing the MANS diet. let´s see in the summer if the time will be right.. thanks again for a great site. Regarding forums, I think it´s a good idea and there are many free forum websites outthere which you could use to make a forum that is linked back to your webpage. Thanks for that.

I would recommend you focus on losing the fat first then bulking with the MANS diet. However, you can still lift. Workout and do MANS without the carb-up session. If you want to achieve very low body fat percentages, the strategy will be detailed in 'Total Six Pack Abs'. Hope that helps. By the way, losing 30k, that's fantastic and you can definitely do it again! Mark Bjornv,

Did you read my post 'What If You CAN’T Get Fat On A High-Fat Diet?' If not look it up in the archives and read it. That should put an end to the fat fear. You should be more concerned about the carb-up period. Try low GI carb sources during this time. Here's a fantastic website where you can search you're favorite carb foods for GI and GL rating http://www.glycemicindex.com/ It's a great resource. Also consider dropping to a 24 hour carb-up. Thanks, Mark I appreciate that Fabian.

I am not sure if Taubes old article is available online = What if It’s All Been a Big Fat Lie but if it is then it´s a good place to start.

I have a few questions though. First, what type of carbs are optimal to consume during my 32 hour "carb-load ?" I have good mix of both high and low glycemic carbs. Second, I have a giant fear of eating to much. Right now I'm 157 lbs. and in the 13-15% range in terms of body fat. Only two months ago, I was at 17% and weighed 165, so in all honesty, I'm downright scared to consume large quantities of food, especially fat. Got any encouraging words? Again, another great post, Fabian Another great post! I have a few questions though.

I remember back in the day (2002) when i did low carb after reading the article from Taubes in the NYT, What if It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?, that Dr. Weil was one of the people I HATED for being so pro carb. I did low carb for 6 months and lost about 30kg, went from 112 kg to 82 and felt so great. since then I have gained back and my plan is to go back to low carb but I like the plan you present here on this website. I did a lot of weight training back then but I would love to gain some more strength and muscle this time around, would you recommend going straight into your low carb - high carb or perhaps start by losing some weight with low carb prior to building up the muscle? thanks for a great website, bjorn Very interesting news and certainly a big coup for the low carb advocates.

Glad you're going to take control of your body. Yes you'll be able to gain muscle and keep fat accumulation at bay with MANS. Remember to eat a lot on the low carb part of the diet. Cheers, Mark That’s great Homy.
