Nick Nilsson’s Metabolic Surge – Day by Day Rundown
Nick Nilsson’s Metabolic Surge is designed to shock your system into submission.
The program has 3 primary phases lasting a total of 12 days. You then repeat this cycle 2 more times for a grand total of 36 days. You follow this with a 10 day recovery period where you’ll take things easier and regain strength and give your body a bit of a break.

- Nick Nilsson has a degree in Physical Education, encompassing physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, kinesiology and anatomy. He has published articles in Men’s Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, and Reps! and is the author of the powerful eBooks “The Best Exercises You’ve Never Heard Of”, “The Best Abdominal Exercises You’ve Never Heard Of”and “Gluteus to the Maximus”. He has been doing been weight training for more then 18 years.
Ok, let’s check the program ……..
The Nuts and Bolts of Phase 1:
Phase 1 is low-carb eating. Your body will switch over to serious fat burning mode in the first day-and-a-half to two days. You will do the Fat Loss Circuit Training that will rapidly burn carbs.
It’s a demanding workout that burns lots of calories and carbs FAST.
Being in a low-carb state is much more efficient for fat loss, but you do need a balance of all food groups for proper nutrition. So you don’t want to stay in for any longer than 5 to 7 days.
The third day is a complete rest day to help you recover. After the first two days you’ll need it! You have tow heavy days ahead.
On the fourth day, it’s Lactic Acid Training. This type of training is designed to dramatically ramp up lactic acid production in your muscles and keep it there while training that specific bodypart.
Why is this good?
Well, the reduced pH in your body (more acidic) is an emergency situation and your body secretes G H.
This hormone is not released as much when insulin is present in the blood, therefore we do this training on the 4th and 5th day of the low-carb eating, when you have NO insulin floating around.
This maximizes the hormonal effect of the training. Lactic Acid Training also is not very damaging to the muscles – you start with one high-rep set (30+ reps), rest 20 seconds, then go again and try and hit as many reps as you can. Keep going for the prescribed number of sets.
You follow this by High-Intensity Intervals. The intervals are done on day 4 because you will be doing the thigh training the next day.
Interval training and Lactic Acid Training for the thighs don’t work as well when done on the same day. This is because most cardio training uses your legs extensively.
The legs will be too fatigued to push really hard on interval training.
This includes a basic multivitamins and protein powder program. You can also include add glutamine after workouts. But NO creatine.
Save the creatine for the transition to Phase 3 where you’ll get the most bang for your buck with it.
The Nuts and Bolts of Phase 2:
Phase 2 uses 2 days of single-nutrient eating to shock your body.
The first day focuses entirely on protein. Since you’ve been eating low carb and teaching your body to preferentially burn fat for energy, by suddenly depriving it of a fat intake as well, it’s forced to seek out the most convenient fat source: bodyfat.
Today you will do some serious interval training to encourage your body to use plenty of bodyfat for energy. It’s not going to be easy, working on only protein like this but it’s VERY effective. We only do this for one day.
The second day is designed to create a desperate need for protein in your body by starving yourself of it for a day. When you go to Phase 3 and eat plenty of protein, your body will aggressively store protein in the form of muscle.
Since you will be staying away from protein, don’t take any glutamine on this day. Glutamine is an amino acid, which is a component of protein. You will be getting plenty of it as you go into Phase 3.
There is no training on this day as you are looking to only deplete the body of free-circulating protein, not to excessively break down muscle tissue.
That depletion will create the desperate need in your body for protein, similar to what your body experiences on a carb depletion from low-carb eating and reloading.
An all-fruit day is a great body cleanse, a perfect switch from a high-protein, high-meat product diet. Eat as much fruit as you want. Your body will just be busy absorbing the carbohydrates from the fruit.
Make sure you drink plenty of water. This fruit day also tends to flush out much of the excess water from your body.
The Nuts and Bolts of Phase 3:
The first few days of Phase 3 are all about building muscle. Increasing your % of muscle mass is a great way to reduce your % of body fat by!
When you come directly off a low-carb diet, your body is desperate for carbs and very sensitive to them. So your body will rapidly absorb carbs and other nutrients.
This is also where the zero-protein day comes into play. You have also created a desperate need for protein in your body with it.
By combining these two desperate needs and then feeding them, your body is capable of tremendously fast progress. This is when you will be performing “Muscle Rounds” – one of the most effective muscle-building training techniques I’ve ever come across.
During these first few days, you will loading up on nutrients such as protein, glutamine and creatine to maximize the effects of the previous two phases.
You will also keep your fat intake extremely low to maximize your fat burning.
On the third day of the phase you will do high intensity interval training for your cardio – but no weights. Doing this type of training on it’s own day means you can really put a lot of effort into it.
The fourth day is geared towards higher-volume, higher-rep training using Supersets. This type of training forces a lot of nutrient-laden blood into the muscles.
The Supersets will also create plenty of lactic acid, which is excellent for boosting Growth Hormone levels in the body. You will also be doing interval training on this day again.
The final day of Phase 3 is a complete day off. You will need a little rest before you go back to repeating the cycle of low-carb eating and training of Phase 1 again.
Resist the temptation to do a little more work.
Instead, enjoy a planned “cheat” meal…by planning it into your program, you get the mental benefits of breaking the strictness and your metabolism gets a nice shot.
This planned cheating is a VERY powerful concept, as is the whole nutrient-rotation found in the Surge program itself.
Repeat The Cycle Two More Times…
This 12 day cycle makes for one round of the program.
In the NEXT 2 rounds, you’re going to be increasing the number of sets you do, gradually building up the training volume, which forces your body to work harder to keep up.
This is a natural metabolism-increaser and it’s PLANNED right into the program.
Think of how the engine of a car reacts as you hit the gas to climb a hill…as the hill gets steeper, you have to almost floor it just to keep moving. But when you keep it floored and come up and over the top and down the other side, you pick up speed FAST.
This is the core concept of the Surge training program – you ramp things up then back off and let your metabolism ROAR.
Strength/Recovery Phase:
The Strength/Recovery Phase is to allow the body some time to recuperate from the extreme training volume you’ve been placing on it.
It is the overcompensation phase after ramping up to overtraining on the first 3 Phases, i.e. the car coming over the top of the hill and coming down.
Your focus here is on building or re-building strength. You will dramatically reduce your training volume and frequency for a short period and target your training to strength training (lower reps and longer rest periods).
This sudden reduction in volume and frequency, while your body is still cranking and trying to recover from the high volume, will result in another jump in results. If you lost any strength during the first 36 days of training, you will get it all back here (and probably more!)
The Sum of All Parts:
Nick Nilsson’s Metabolic Surge is powerful because the training and nutrition of each Phase builds onto the next one, making the whole greater than the sum of all parts.
This synergistic effect of the various nutrient and training regimes will allow you to effectively build muscle and strength even while training to lose fat!
From Phase to Phase, training volume will increase in order to push your body a little further and a little harder.
Building up to this higher volume slowly will allow you take advantage of the body’s reaction to temporary overtraining, keeping your results moving quickly. You will NEVER hit a plateau with this program.
Your body has no choice but to adapt – it’s built into the training program and it’s built into the eating program with the rotation between low-carb, low-fat and single-nutrient eating.
Nick Nilsson’s Metabolic Surge is only $29.95.
