Feed Your Muscles and Starve Your Fat
If you're trying to build muscle and lose fat through proper diet nutrition, you can easily get frustrated. Hopefully these 6 tips can help you get closer to this elusive goal.
Eat More Than You Think You Should
I know, you think I'm crazy. How can you lose weight by adding more food. I should be more specific. Eat more often, not necessarily more food. It's very important to give your body protein periodically throughout the day.
When you go for a long period of time, your body kind of freaks out. The next time you eat, your body will think that meals are going to come few and far between, so it will store whatever it can from that meal as fat.
Keep energies up by having constant regular blood sugar levels. Not eating for long periods, decreases your blood sugar and makes you tired.
Eating a giant meal (even a healthy one) will put a huge strain on your body and cause it to rush through the digestion process. When your body isn't running as efficiently, it isn't going to get everything it should out of each meal. This will cause your body to crave more food sooner than you should. I suggest you eat every 2 to 4 hours.
Clean and Lean Food
Make sure to consume plenty of lean proteins, complex carbs and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Simple carbs like white flour products (bread,crackers) and sugar(cookies and cakes) can spike up your insulin level and prevent your body from burning fat efficiently.
Break Off the Love Affair with Sugar.
If you're not care, you'll consume more sugar than you thought you were. Why? It's hidden with all these fancy names. The next time you're doing an ingredient check, look for things like glucose, sorbitol and even lactose. They're all types of sugar.
Drink more water
If you're not drinking about 8 glasses of water each day, you're depriving your body of a very important need. Water will help your body to digest your food more easily and efficiently, making sure it absorbs all the nutrients you're offering it. What will also help your tone your muscles and lose weight.
Be Pro Protein
When you don't give your body enough protein it will turn to it's own lean muscle to gain energy. This obviously isn't a good thing. So, keep putting lean and clean proteins in and you'll be fine. Sometimes this is difficult to do. Try eating fish and chicken as much as you can. You can even throw in some lean beef every once in a while.
Carbohydrate Rotations
You can control and adjust your insulin levels by keeping your carb content low for a couple of days at a time. Then boost them back up again to keep your body from going too far in the opposite direction. This will help accelerate your fat loss and not cause you to go carb crazy. If you're going just 2 days without, you can push through and make it. It's not like when you go on an extremely low carb diet for weeks on end.
Through carbohydrate rations and decreased overall carb intake you will push your body into massive fat burning mode. Watching your protein intake and intervals will make sure you don't lose your precious muscle tissues. - 17268
