This post lists just some of the positive feedback I’ve received from readers of MuscleHack.

These testimonials make all my work worthwhile.
I love reading them.
I want to thank all of you who took the time to thank me for my work and the results you have achieved.

Hopefully you’ll feel energized and enthused by reading some of the success stories here.

All testimonials were unsolicited. I also have everyone’s permission to include their message along with their first name and/or city/country.

Dan. Georgia, USA.

“Since going on the low carb diet, my weight has dropped from 210 to 197 and I have actually made strength gains. I had always correlated increased weight with strength gains and decreased weight with strength loss and thought that diet really didn’t matter…..how untrue! I’m 6′2″ and although I wasn’t “fat”, I was starting to get that pudge around my waist at 36″. I’m now down to a 34.5″ waist. Thanks and keep up the good work!”

Leo. Australia

“Congratulations Mark - best no-bullshit Bodybuilding site online. I’ve been looking for this info in a condensed form for years.”

Stephen. New York, USA

“I just cannot believe it, Mark, I have never liked fat much, as a kid always
avoid ALL fats…. I have done this [MuscleHack Anabolic Nutritional Strategy] strictly for the last two weeks and not only have a lost fat, but gained muscle with MINIMAL exercise. I feel stronger, I feel healthier, my blood pressure and blood sugar are more consistent. I no longer get water retention. This is just outstanding. I am transforming like never before.”

Bryan. Florida, USA

“I’ve been on the MANS diet for 3 weeks now, and feeling GREAT about the results I’ve been getting. Like many others, I doubted its effectiveness, but no more.”

Joe (no location provided)

“I just wanted to send a message thanking you for all your time that you have put into this site. It is such a great source for ACCURATE information. I have an ectomorph body and too long have I listened to friends that work out and seem to easily get results. I’m a hard gainer and no information from the gyms or friends have every really helped me. I would get discuraged and quit. I’ve been using your workout plan and diet for 2 weeks using an incline bench and dumbbells at home and I’ve gotten better results in that time period then I had from months at a gym. So thank you SOO much and keep up the great work.”

Piotr

the fat accumulated over the last year and have seen increased muscle growth.
Many thanks for this.”

Would you like to burn fat for energy?
I’m sure you would.

The ‘metabolic switch’ refers to the process of the body switching from burning carbohydrates as its primary energy source to fat - what a sweet deal!

Becoming a ‘fat-burner’ involves controlling carbohydrate consumption so that your body adapts itself to using fat for fuel.

The end result of this is a beautiful thing called lipolysis i.e. the breakdown of fat for the body’s energy needs.

The opposite is true for high-carb diets where unused glucose is converted and stored as fat in the body, this is called lipogenesis – down with lipogenesis!

As wonderful as the end result is, the journey can be a little tough for some people. Unfortunately these people sometimes conclude that the metabolic switch is how they will always feel on a low-carb diet.

This is simply the transition period, nothing else.

A lifetime of eating a carb-laden diet will require an adaptation period of anywhere from 2 – 14 days when switching to a fat-metabolism.

Here’s why it happens.

A fat metabolism requires different enzymes to function than a carbohydrate one. Synthesizing the correct enzymes in sufficient quantities to become a fat-burner takes a little time.

Some people won’t even notice it, others will feel tired and foggy until the process has completed. You’ll know you’re a certified fat-burner when energy levels return to normal or even surpass what they were before.

If you notice the above symptoms, hang in there. The Promised Land is not far away!

Stay Motivated,

Mark McManus

I have to tell you about my new favorite vegetable.

Well, second favorite (after broccoli)

Swede / Rutabaga

It’s great for fries, even better than celeriac. I reckon it’s the closest you’re going to get to regular fries while low-carbing.

The last few days I have been saving 10 grams of carbs for my pre-workout meal and having 200 grams of swede in fry form. I have it with a slab of steak, mmmm.

Check it out!

Nutritional Value of Swede / Rutabaga (100 grams)

Protein - 1 gram

Net Carbohydrate - 5 grams

Fat - 0.3 grams

Fiber - 2 grams

Calories - 26

Why not give it a go?
