Bodybuilding Dieting, Tips to Do it Right

By Ricardo d Argence

All right, so you want to get strong and go to the gym to work. You may think that pumping weights is all you have to do, but it is not that simple.

An important aspect of both repair and growth is nutrition. Bodybuiding diest are always changing for the simple reason muscle mass increases, putting muscle on means eating more, losing muscle means you will need to eat less. How do you stay on top of what is going on inside the body?

Watching your weight daily is important if you are trying to increase your mass. If your weight is going down or staying the same, you may need to consider eating more. If you find yourself gaining a lot of weight you need to take a closer look at what you're eating. Be careful, while you can expect to gain fat while attempting to gain muscle, you should keep an eye on it to ensure you don't gain too much fat.

Fat calipers are another great way to determine if you are building muscle or fat. When you use calipers every two weeks, you can see what precisely is going on, for example if you see your muscle going down from not eating, the calipers will reveal that you should eat more. Eat less if the calipers show that your body fat percentage is increasing.

Every good gym will have a set of calipers and assuming it is the same person doing the measurments each time you will get a honest reading as for what is going on. After you have figured out the amount of millimeters and your bodyweights, it is then that the chart which comes with calipers will determine what bodyfat percentage you are.

If you get yor bodyweight in pound and then multiply it by the percentage of bodyfat, that will give you your total bodyfat. Total bodyweight less the resulting figure will equal one's fat free mass. Although the figure has organs and muscle we use the entire model for the calculations including organs and bones.

You should record and keep the figures you calculated for total body fat and for fat free mass. When you have your measurements taken you can check to see if the percentage of bodyfat has increased. If you do the correct exercise and eat correctly then your body fat will go down. And with the decrease of body fat, you will find that your muscles and fat free mass will go up. If you are not eating correctly you will discover that your fat free mass, muscle is decreasing and the bodyfat is increasing. - 17273

Restaurant Dining For Healthy Lifestyles

By Ryan L. Freeman

Dining out is a big part of our lives. Maybe you are eating out frequently because you entertain clients. Perhaps you don't like eating out. Regardless, if you want to keep a nice fit body, restaurant meals will give you a huge obstacle to overcome. In fact, eating out at restaurants is one of the biggest reasons why so many people fatten up while traveling.

I'm going to give you some very simple tricks you can use to eat more healthy while dining out and stay lean.

The 3 vital things to avoid in restaurants are:

*** any sodas, juices and other sugary foods (except fresh fruits, which are great) *** deep fried foods (anything dropped in a scorching bath of trans fats) *** refined starchy foods

Eliminate these major culprits and you can skip the food sources (for the most part) that do the worst damage to your body - trans fats, refined vegetable oils, refined starchy carbohydrates, and processed sugars.

What you should try to do is to, skip the bread, skip the french fries that come with every single sandwich on every menu known to man, and reduce all of the heaping portions of pasta and rice that are often loaded on your plate as well.

Substitute a salad for the typical french fries, pasta, or rice, that most restaurant meals come with. And of course eat your meat and other vegetables as usual.

Almost every restaurant I have ever been to will always allow me to change to vegetables or side salad for the regular french fries or chips that almost always come with burgers or sandwiches.

Just a quick side note, it amazes me how many people scrutinize my substitutions of veggies for fries by telling me that I am 'not living' because I refuse to eat deep fried french fries... are you kidding me! If french fries are your idea of 'living it up', you need to get a better hobby!

Silly, isn't it?, that these are also the first people to complain that they are overweight and have 'tried everything', yet can not lose weight, no matter what. I'm not sure why so people think that eating deep fried foods like french fries equals 'living it up'... hey, I am all for moderation with many things, but if there are 2 things that should be totally removed from everyone's diet because these foods are simply that dangerous... it is sodas and fries!

Take a look at the typical difference this simple substitution makes between choosing smart and doing what most other people do...

Most people will eat a meal out such as this:

* chips or fries * Burger or sandwich or burger * soda or other drink (no, diet sodas are NOT healthy!)

A MUCH more smart alternative (if you care about your body and health) is this simple change you can make:

* Salad or fresh raw veggies * Burger or other delicious sandwich * unsweetened iced tea or water (no diet pop -- unless you like to drink poison!)

These 2 simple substitutions every time you eat out can save you around 400 - 900 calories... AND you are cutting out the poison's to your body as well, by avoiding the trans fats and fructose corn syrup from the fries and soft drinks.

On a side note: a semi-secret method to eat full portions of breads, pasta, and rice, and actually get away with it without packing on the extra fat is to schedule a high intensity full body resistance training workout before your scheduled meal time. This can be free weights or body weight training.

Sometimes it may be hard to fit the exercise into your schedule right before the meal, but if you can, the meal can be your 'post-exercise meal'. After a high intensity resistance training workout, your body can handle a higher amount of carbohydrates than usual to help replenish the muscle glycogen depleted during the intense exercise you had.

Your moderate intensity cardio workout will NOT work for this... it must be high intensity resistance training to deplete enough glycogen in the muscle to handle restaurant portions of these carbohydrates.

I hope these dining tips help you make smarter and healthier choices for a leaner body next time you eat out. - 17273
