Stan Efferding’s Vertical Diet fills both macro and micronutrient needs, which are otherwise left unmet by standard, traditional bodybuilding diet models.
It has almost been a year now, and the diet checked almost every single goal off on this list.
My Thyroid hormones returned to homeostasis, I’m mentally sharper, my metabolism is noticeably faster and my health markers look better than ever in my blood work.
My resting heart rate has come down to 60 beats per minute, and my blood pressure is down to 120/70.
If I really relax before taking my blood pressure and give myself 5-10 minutes to chill out, I can score as low as 115/65.
The only thing that I couldn’t fix with the Vertical Diet was my HDL cholesterol.
The carry-over to my energy levels in the office has been very noticeable.
I prefer carb cycling; gives me the energy for heavy leg days.
The mental clarity I get from a higher-fat diet is actually surprising.
