I found out it's similar to the adkins, but it's called anabolic diet. You basically consume protein/fat and 30g of carbs on a daily basis for a week the switch to a carb load diet two days of the week. Sounds a bit extreme.
I watch my carbs because they require insulin to be metabolized and I'm (or was) insulin resistant. Insulin when unabsorbed behaves like testosterone and masculinizes the body. Causing trouble with the reproductive system and giving us. . facial hair. yuck.
