The quality of the foods suck, that's the issue. Some are decent though, but the dessert type garbage recipes really have no place and calling it "anabolic diet" is pretty misleading for the most part. Not to mention, who the hell is going to go through all that trouble every time they want to eat? It's a sales approach for ppl that want to think there is always some secret. Just my perspective on it. I would rather adhere to something more solid and then let a cheat meal just be a cheat meal. But that's just me
