Reduce Fat and Gain Muscle

Hello everyone ,
I’ve designed this website as a resource to anyone who may be curious about learning how to reduce fat , gain muscle and just in general needs to get healthier, increase performance and/or look better.

Are some of you guys tired of being wimpy? Has your weight gone up and not in a way you would like?

Are the women in the audience okay with your appearance ?

Fear not, there’s help. Inside you’ll find tips and tricks for burning off fat and adding muscle, with reviews of the leading diet, nutrition and exercise sites on the web. So you can learn from the best people in the industry. Just find which one you like best.

You’ll find several systems that are mostly diet focused, a few that are exercise oriented and a couple that promote products that will compliment your workouts with exercise tools . All of them will teach you how to get rid of fat and gain muscle.

You’ll learn that you can’t out train poor eating habits, but a clean healthy eating plan will make up for a bad training plan or none at all. So even the masters that offer training oriented sites will also provide you with the best dietary information to lose fat and put on muscle.

A easy rule to keep in mind , in your effort to reduce fat, is to burn fat as opposed to starving fat. To burn the fat you do anaerobic exercises to add muscle. You will then burn fat during your rest and recovery period over the next 24 – 48 hours. If you try to starve it, you will only cause your body to go into starvation mode and it will then try to store more fat. EAT MORE, EAT BETTER and TRAIN HARD.

Some of these sites offer a membership area where you can join a group and learn things from other members . Some memberships are part of the package and don’t have an extra cost. Others will be an insiders club that will have a recurring membership fee. You will be able to talk with people that have the same problems as you and find out how they overcame them. There are even transformation contests to motivate you to get the lean physique you want.

Here’s a great all around site if you’re searching for the best of both worlds (exercise and nutrition all in one; No Nonsense Muscle Building by Vince Delmonte.

This is a good site with a large members area, containing up to date information on bodybuilding and nutrition with a ton of bonus materials. See my Nonsense Muscle Bulding review.

So whether your interested in getting the best and latest in exercise science and/or you want to know the best diet and nutrition guide-lines to follow, I’ve brought them all together for you in one site. Diet and training go together, you can’t lose fat and put on muscle unless you follow both.

Simple Tips to Gain Muscle

Here are a few tips to gain muscle.

1) Diet: eat clean. To gain muscle and a minimum amount of fat, you need to eat a good lean quality protein source. About 1 – 2 grams per pound of lean body weight must be divided over 5 – 6 meals per day.

Carbohydrates: Complex fibrous carbs in the form of fresh vegetables are best for gaining lean weight. Potatoes and other starches should be eaten early in the day so they can be burned off while you’re active, preferably as a post workout meal.

Good fats need to be taken in at each meal: olive oil, flax oil, Udos essential oils or fish oils. Eating wild-caught salmon 2 or 3 times a week is a good way to get your fish oils.

Always remember that whatever meal you have, it must contain good fats, carbohydrates and protein. Stay away from sugars. If you have to take them, then eat them in the form of whole fruit early in the day.

Nutritional calories are best taken from food sources rather than liquid ones.

Make water your main drink, and drink enough each day. Here’s a simple rule of thumb to determine your basic water needs. Divide your body weight in half and turn that figure into ounces. That is the figure you need to start with, you may need more if you are really active. Example: you weigh 100 lbs. 100 / 2 = 50 ounces of water.

However, there are a few exceptions namely vegetables, fruits and protein shakes.

These can be great snacks, post workout meals or even meal replacements when made with the right ingrediants. Precision nutrition has a whole section on these types of shakes with a lot of recipes and they are categorized as either anytime or post workout shakes.

You will need to determine your caloric needs to maintain your present mass, and then add about 15% – 20% more calories to that to increase your weight and gain muscle.

Muscle gaining tips for exercise:

Go for the big compound lifts to get your body to burn more calories. These would be: Clean and jerks, squats, deadlifts, squat presses, benches; flat and incline, dips and pull-ups. Bear in mind that the isolated lifts must always come after the big lifts.As far as reps go, vary it. Some days go for strength with heavier weight and lower reps. Other days go for more reps with a lighter weight. Keep the intensity high always, and you need to be flirting with failure on every working set. I like to do one warm up set and 3 – 4 working sets.

Get in get your workout done, if you’re spending more than an hour you are doing too much and/or you are not working intensely enough. Overtraining produces the same bad effects as under training. Remember that training provides the stimulus to get the muscle to recover and grow. During rest, the muscle actually recovers and grows. So get your 8 hours of sleep in and don’t overtrain.

In general, muscle gaining tips are:

1) Eat right while getting lean protein.

2) Exercise intensely enough to stimulate the muscle to grow without injuring yourself

3) Allow your muscles to recover and grow by getting enough sleep or rest.

4) Rinse and repeat. KISS (keep it simple, stupid)

Safe and Easy Way to Gain Weight and Muscle

The best way to gain weight and muscle naturally and fast is through the combination of the proper diet and the right exercises.

The single most natural and safest method for you to increase your weight is to eat more.  However, you have to increase on the intake of the right foods to achieve the right results.  As you may already know, protein is highly considered a necessity in the bodybuilding world.  Protein certainly plays a key role in the building of muscles.  Not only is it the building blocks of muscle fibers, it is also the building blocks of life.  Yet, there are other substances that vastly aid in gaining weight and muscle which have often been disregarded.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are extremely important to gain weight and muscle.  Carbohydrates keep our bodies running, like gas does to a car.  During high intensity workouts, the body relies heavily on carbohydrates as its primary source of energy.  There are two general types of carbohydrates- simple and complex.  Body builders are recommended to consume more complex carbohydrates as these are absorbed more slowly by the body.  They also offer a more prolonged source of energy.  Rice, legumes, whole grain bread, starchy vegetables, and pasta have been reported to be the best sources of complex carbohydrates content.  It is vital to have a small serving of complex carbohydrates before the start of a workout.  Doing so will give you enough energy to train at the intensity levels which will encourage muscle growth.

Unsaturated Fat

A lot of people do not know this, but to gain weight and muscle properly, it is highly important to take in unsaturated fat, also known as good fat.  Fat is also considered a major source of energy.  Among other things, it facilitates hormone production and regulates the body’s metabolism.  It is also deemed essential in the absorption of vitamins A, E, D, and K.  The best sources of unsaturated fat are salmon, almonds, avocadoes, olive oil, canola oil, and walnuts.  You can gorge down on protein and complex carbohydrates, but when it comes to fat, moderation is the key.  Take a small amount of fat every meal and after a workout.  Stay away from the bad fats altogether since these are stored as body fat and does not provide any beneficial help whatsoever.

Of course, everybody knows that the proper diet only gets you so far.  In order to gain weight and muscle, you definitely need to exercise.

Build Muscle is a website that will provide you with all the information and tips you need to gain weight and muscle naturally, effectively, and fast.  It may surprise you to learn that gaining weight and building muscles are not as grueling as you thought.
