What’s the secret to gaining muscle and not gaining fat?

I know that cardio is involved, and I include it in my workout. But how do you eaat the foods required to build muscle and still keep your middle lean?

the majority of the carbohydrates consumed must be low GI which means they come from whole food sources like whole oats, lentils, beans, etc. also the body fat must be monitored in order to make changes in the diet. and of course you have to count calories so that you actually "know" how much you are consuming.

body fat must also be under control before starting any diet where there is a caloric excess. the level of body fat is a direct indication of the level of insulin sensitivity. when insulin sensitivity is high a person will be lean, when insulin sensitivity is low a person will have a high percentage of body fat. when insulin sensitivity is high more nutrients will be transported into skeletal muscle and less into fat cells. the opposite occurs when insulin sensitivity is low. this is why lean people stay lean about those with high body fat constantly increase body fat while keeping even the same caloric intake.

How can I exercise to lose weight without gaining muscle?

I know I’m suppose to do cardio without any resistance, but it seems like I am still gaining muscle from it. Do I need to go for a longer period of time, or should I cut back on calories so that it is impossible to gain weight? The reason why I don’t want to gain muscle is because I already have some muscle and I want to look thinner not bigger!

There`s no possible way you`re gaining muscle weight from doing just cardio. Eat less.

gain muscle?

im a high school football player and have a potential college career. i want to burn fat and gain muscle. how do i do this. should i take protein shakes concidering i workout 5 days a week. or should i just do tons of cardio. etc. any advice is welcomed. also if i pack on 5 pounds i dont care. as long as its good weight. how do i go about this and would protein shakes help?

Before I answer your question I’m going to get a couple of thoughts out of my system.

First of all, if your goal is to play football at the next level, your only concerns should be what you should do in order to get there. One thing I can say without even knowing you is that one of your goals in training is to get stronger (if not, it should be). I’ll assume this is what you mean by gaining muscle so you’re on the right track here.

As far as losing fat, be careful. Are you looking to lose fat in order to look good for the ladies, or do you have a weight issue that can hinder your performance on the field? Make sure that if you’re trying to lose any fat, it’s the latter.

I’m not sure what your position is, but if you’re a lineman of some type, forget about the 6 pack! Think PERFORMANCE. If you’re at a skill position, that type of physique is more realistic and should come along with proper training and nutrition, so don’t worry too much about it.

Now about your training regimen and nutrition..

Training Regimen:

Every time you do something in your training regimen, ask yourself the following question: "Is this going to make me a better football player?"

Is doing "tons of cardio" going to make you a better football player? Since football is an anaerobic sport (I think the average play is around 7 seconds or so), then the answer is NO. Why train your body like a marathon runner? It makes no sense. You want to be able to perform explosive, powerful movements. So this is how you should train!

If you find a high level football player running in any 5K races or jogging on the treadmill, let me know, and I’ll give you 20 bucks (it can’t be a kicker).

You are training 5 days a week, and I assume that regular practice will be starting for you soon. Unless your high school is completely slack, you’re going to be busting your butt for the next few months during your team practices and workouts. Use your rest time to rest–you’re gonna need it.

If you still have too much body fat at the end of the day, the problem isn’t in your training–you may want to look at your nutrition–are you eating junk?? If so, stop it.

Nutrition:

You are on the right track in knowing that protein is important to build muscle. Before worrying about a protein shake or supplement, make sure you’re eating healthy, staying away from soft drinks, eating vegetables, and including a source of protein in every meal. If you’re already doing all this, a protein supplement can help in that it’s an easy way to fuel your body between meals.

Say you’re between meals, and don’t really have time to cook up a chicken breast or cook up some ground beef. Now’s when a shake comes in handy as it allows you to supply your body with the protein it needs between meals.

It’s not that using the powder is better than eating real food (it’s not). The reason to use the powder is that it’s fast and convenient. It’s a way to get your 40-60 grams in without having to cook up 7 complete meals every day.

If you train hard and eat well consistently, you’ll have a true advantage over your competition.

I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck in your career!

is it safe to use "Weider" bodybuilding products ?

how different it is from steroids and amino acids ?.. does it have a bad side effects ?

Normal bodybuilding products are mainly to provide bulking for muscles, amino acids can reduce body fat and speed up metabolism.
Steroids are quite dangerous unless you get expert help, I would leave steroids alone, they can affect your masculinity!

I have been bodybuilding for a while now and am happy with my muscle mass but need to drop a lot of fat?

I have been told that my diet is good and to carry on doing interval training for my cv, however my body fat is not going down. Is it possible that I have cut too many calaries.
What is the best to drop fat and has anybody got any diet tips to follow?
Please help,
Many thanks

so typical what you did! you took the cat by the wrong end. If you build up the muscle first without getting rid off the fat, now that you have the muscle either you will have to sacrifice part of it in order to loose fat very quickly or you will suffer a long torture trying to reduce the bodyfat %. It is much better to get rid off the unwanted fat first, Yes, you might look a kind of skinny in the beginning But, once your bodyfat% is as low as you want it (and you have your six pack, and muscle definition) then you start pumping iron and you will see much better results because the bulk you will see is not fat and muscle but muscle ONLY.

Where can I buy body building suppliments from in Japan?

I’m moving to Japan from New Zealand for a few years, and have been searching online for a body building suppliment shop but can’t find one. Are there any good sites for companies in Japan that sell Body building suppliments? (like protein powder, creatine, etc) that I can order online from.

Try trueprotein.com. They have everything, protein, carbohydrates, and oodles of supplements. Try bodybuilding.com as well but I find them a little confusing.
