Lose Weight Build Muscle – Like a Professional Athlete!

How can you lose fat and build muscle at the same time? Some people think they need to diet the fat off before they start working out. Do not waste your time. We all know the simple facts that you need to eat less and exercise more to weight. To lose fat, build muscle is a different equation.

Another fact is that muscle weighs more than fat. So while you are dieting and exercising you are becoming leaner, but you may not see weight loss on the scale. It is a paradox for some people because they have a number in mind that they want to weigh.

Muscle burns fat more efficiently; so building muscle while you are losing fat is exactly what you need to do. You notice the word pound was not used. We get caught up in how much we weigh. It is more important to figure out how muscular and thin or big you want to be?

If you are stuck on the scale issue get rid of your scale. When you are building muscle you will actually become smaller and may weigh a little more. Lose fat; build muscle is an attainable goal. If you have a lot of weight to lose you will also lose weight. Another fact is that fat does not turn into muscle. They are two different physiological systems.

What kinds of food do you put in your mouth to lose fat build muscle? If you are dieting, of course you want to reduce your caloric intake. Your diet should consist of lean proteins like chicken fish and beef. You should be eating fresh fruits and vegetables. You do need to have some fat too. Limit your self to three small amounts a day of butter, margarine or mayo. You can get healthy fats from sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews and pumpkin seeds. Do not forget the power of water, drink plenty of it.

When you want to lose fat build muscle, do you need to eat more protein for muscle development? It has been proven that you do need to eat more protein than you burn off to build muscle. There are different theories on where the protein should come from. There are supplements you can take. Drinking whey protein is one way to get more protein. Consuming all the protein that a body builder needs from just their diet might be difficult.

You only need more protein if you are a serious body builder or are into another form of extreme training. For a female who wants to lose a little weight and jests want to have a little muscle definition, you probably do not need to eat more protein. On the other hand, some experts say that that anybody who embanks on an exercise regime should consume more protein. Others say you only need more protein if you want to build body mass or if your diet is too low in carbohydrates.

Body builders do need more protein because as they are building muscle, and that muscle needs more calories from protein. Protein is broken down in our body to nitrogen and to build muscle you need to have a positive nitrogen balance. There are formulas to assist you in figuring out just how much protein you need. Do your research and listed to the other athletes advice.

On 22nd May 2003, a Bodybuilder died. Scott Klein was found dead in the early hours in his bed by his mother. Although he was a healthy 30 year old man, he died of cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. Now this guy had no genetically concentrated illness, so as far as I am aware his death was not typical for someone of his age. And then just to top it all another great bodybuilder Tom Prince fell ill during the same week with Kidney problems and ulcers.

One of the all time great bodybuilders Lee Priest was soon to announce with immediate effect his retirement from competition. It had already been rumored that he had health problems in the past but it was hardly surprising with massive weight swings and an excessive intake of junk food. But anyway he said he was no longer interested in the sport because of what was happening to some great athletes and that in the end we only have our health and that some of the top bodybuilders didn’t even have that.

Similarly Milos Sarchev retired from contests after the Hungarian GP on June 8th, when he finished 6th and failed to qualify for the 2003 Mr. Olympia. He also cited health reasons for giving up. Milos has been at the top level for many years and has probably competed in more Pro contests than any other bodybuilder, ever. He obviously enjoyed the competition and has come back after suffering serious injury with a rupture of the quadriceps in his right leg. Such mechanical type injuries can happen to anyone in any sport that pushes the body to the limits. But Milos has had direct experience of internal health risks associated with top level bodybuilding. He suffered an almost fatal embolism a year or two ago when he had a blood clot, caused by using Synthol, detach from an artery and cause a blockage in his lung.

It wasn’t long before other top level amateurs and professionals started admitting to serious health problems. Orville Burke injured himself during a photo shot in Olympia resulting in his shoulder and Elbow needing to be operated on. As a result of his poor health, one medical team refused to operate, although another did, but only after receiving a report and approval from a heart consultant. Sadly Orville fell into a coma after kidney failure but slowly recovered although his bodybuilding career is over.

Mike Francois who had an excellent physique up until a couple of years ago suffered serious internal problems as well, resulting in career coming to an end. Nasser el Sonbaty had to pull out of the Night of the Champions 2003 in New York due to health problems and it is said that his career has also come to an end. Another great Flex Wheeler had his pro card withdrawn because of health problems and it was rumored that he may also need a kidney transplant. Another top American Don Long needed his sister’s help to save him when he needed a kidney transplant.

Then there was a really top American bodybuilder Ron Teufel from the 70’s who died at 45. We can no doubt argue the case that these examples are not necessarily drug related but it goes without saying that we are talking about young, strong and fit men who should be glowing with health. But I’m afraid that it’s just not the case when so many become so seriously ill and sometimes even leading to fatal illness.

I have talked about several drugs which aren’t anabolic steroids, and are taken by competing bodybuilders but professionals are at the cutting edge of the game. These pros are very well connected with the drug gurus who are permanently looking out for new material which is able to push that freaky physique on just that bit further. These products are able to make that all important difference to muscle size and vascularity and not forgetting to mention the guru’s added earning potential. These top pros need bodies with potent drug handling genetics in order to handle such high doses and complex drug cocktails over long periods of time.

The life of a pro is dictated by his sport and his income earning potential. The time for high earning at the top can be short [even if our Pro remains healthy] and the serious Pro wants to maximize his earnings in that short time. This means a life of competing – unless you are a special kind of showman, your earning potential soon starts to drop if you are not in front of the fans, regularly winning or placing high in contests – of training to be bigger and better next year, of appearing at exhibitions, giving seminars, grabbing star spots, etc. And for all of the last three you will be expected to be in decent shape; appearing as a lard ball is not an option. The consequence of all of this is a life of drug use year round. It is not healthy.

The pro body building scene isn’t really what it’s made out to be. Training is hard and those heavy weights lead to joint problems and in the modern day era heavy means heavy and injuries are high on the agenda. In addition we have a high food intake including high protein content which over works the digestive system, the kidneys and the liver. This deadly combination causes high blood pressure and accompanied by potent drug cocktails, the stress factor on the body organs is tremendous. The human body needs rest, but there’s no rest for a pro bodybuilder.

American football is similar in a way to the high demands on the body. We have big guys training hard, kicking the shit out of each other and well the resulting serious injuries. Then there are the drugs although I can only guess what they take. The dosage level would be lower to that of bodybuilders and they definitely receive better medical assistance. Another big difference is that the American Football season only lasts 4 months allowing more time to rest.

Most of you who read my column will know that I am not opposed to the use of drugs and, like every real bodybuilding enthusiast; I want to see ever freakier physiques. But I do not want a single young man to kill himself trying to get just that bit freakier. Trying to draw the line anywhere is difficult. Once a genie is out of the bottle it is pretty well impossible to get it back in again. And the release occurred over 40 years ago.

I have faith in that bodybuilding won’t turn into a lunatic freaks sport, consisting of a small number crazy guys with a self imposed death wish to become THE FREAK of the year. Maybe it has become this already? It is the old rockers motto incarnate. Live hard, die young and have a good looking corpse. On 22nd May 2003, Scott Klein died. Is death the only real future for the Bodybuilder?

stamina training and strength training have two totally different effects on the body and how you burn your fat ,because when you are involved in stamina training you are adding more powerful cyclers this increase your muscles capacity to produce and use the energy needed to contract,muscle however is totally different when you are doing any kind of strength training ,this will give you a bigger and stronger muscle fiber structure because when you are pushing or pulling any kind of weight yuo will tear the muscles and when this happens the body builds a bigger and stronger frame when this happens you become a fat burning furnace because muscle is the primary energy consumer in the body.

In your mid thirties if you are stable in your weight ,but do any kind of strength or resistance training you will put fat on that’s fact,when your muscle ages you lose the protein that makes up your muscle,this is what gives your the ability to have strength and stamina,when you are exercising this rebuilds and maintains protein and muscle mass which prevents you from putting on weight which will burn fat. walking for 30 minutes a day will build stamina and strength based proteins this will prepare you for strength/resistance training session of thirty minutes training a week required to rebuild the strength based proteins.

Exercise increases the metabolism so that you burn fat faster at a higher rate than if you didn’t exercise,it also reduces your appetite by turning on your sympathetic nervous system,which activates your flight or fight response.Do the experiment yourself,take a quick walk or jog when you feel the first burst of hunger it will be gone when you get back.

The Cabbage Soup Diet is something you have probably already heard of by this time. Most people lose some weight in the first couple of weeks. Unfortunately, most people lose interest in this diet after a short time and quickly regain the weight. This is similar to the results seen in other low to no carb diets. If a diet is to be effective over the long term, it has to offer enough variety to be enjoyable.

This diet is also known as a fat burning soup diet and contains ingredients which are considered to play a role in burning fat. Other than the soup itself, the dieter doesn’t have many choices other than low carb and no carb items like fruits and vegetables.

By looking at what goes into this fat burning soup, you can see why the cabbage soup diet is considered a low to no carb diet. This soup is made of vegetables which help burn fat; peppers, tomatoes, onions and of course cabbage. You can also substitute cauliflower, broccoli, kale or other members of the cabbage family for the cabbage in this recipe and add seasonings to taste.

This diet is very carbohydrate-poor, since carbohydrates are turned into sugar by the body and then stored in fat cells. This soup is vegetable based and low-carb; the ingredients encourage your metabolism to burn off more calories. This is why most people lose weight on the diet, but as stated above, a lot of people quickly lose interest in the cabbage soup diet.

Here are some of the best weight loss supplements available now:

The diet works like this: Eat all the soup you want every day, whenever you are hungry. In addition to the soup, the only thing you can eat on Day 1 is Fruit, except bananas, Day 2 is vegetables, except for dry beans, peas and corn, also forbidden on low to no carb diets. However, on Day 2 for dinner, you can have a baked potato, which is carbs, but they use it to fool the metabolism into thinking you are eating carbs again.

On Day 3, you guessed it, soup, fruits and vegetables and Day 4 is soup, bananas and skim milk. On Day 5, it is low fat meat and tomatoes, with soup, of course, and Day 6 is soup, meat and green leafy vegetables. The final day, Day 7, is soup and brown rice. This diet is not a plan you can stick with very long, because if you don’t lose interest due to lack of variety, you would eventually suffer mal-nutrition.

The cabbage soup diet is just like any of the low to no carb diets, in the fact it restricts the carbohydrates, which the body turns to sugar for energy or stores in fat cells. The diet doesn’t restrict how often you eat, which is likely to be often, as long as it is soup, or the fruit/vegetable of the day.

The best diets for helping you to lose weight over the long term are those which add fat burning foods while letting you have variety and meeting all of your nutritional needs. One such diet is Fat Loss 4 Idiots, which has helped thousands to lose weight without getting burned out on their diet.
