Guide on carbohydrate

carbohydrate Carbohydrates

Most bodybuilders focus on the consumption of protein and carbohydrates are left in the background. In this article we will leave everything you should know (and need to know) about the carbohydrate and carbohydrate supplements. Taken seriously you have to work your muscles, you must be eating a proper diet and Carbohydrates are a very important piece of the puzzle.

What are carbohydrates?

Before talking about the amount of carbohydrates you should consume to build muscle, we need a quick lesson in nutrition to know about carbohydrates, the source and the different types. Basically, carbohydrates are of two types: simple and complex.

Simple carbohydrates are found in natural and processed sugars and are rapidly absorbed by the body for use as energy. This energy is not long lasting and can often be followed by a drop in energy levels, resulting in the person feel tired and lethargic. Simple carbohydrates are generally not recommended for muscle building or maintenance of health.

Complex carbohydrates are those which constitute the bulk of the energy source in the body. Complex carbohydrates come in foods such as wheat, rice, potatoes, bread and oatmeal. Complex carbohydrates take longer for the bodies are converted into energy, but this energy is of long duration. A regular serving of foods rich in complex carbohydrates is recommended for all athletes. (more…)

Myths about Protein and Protein Supplements

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

In the world of bodybuilding, the hottest topic in the gym is always protein and protein supplements. No wonder, since the protein is important for building muscle, but there are also three common myths that you’re likely to hear about proteins and protein supplements too.

The first myth is that athletes do not actually need more protein. This myth is totally false. Much research has been conducted in this area, and the persons involved simply need more protein. The more active you are the more protein you need.

Recent research suggests that active people need 1.2 to 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. This is 150% to 175% more than the recommended daily allowance of protein. The strength trainers need even more protein, and 1.7 to 1.8 grams of protein recommended for each kilogram of body weight for this group of people.

The research also found that athletes who only in the recommended daily amount of protein actually lose muscle instead of winning. This is due to a decrease in whole body protein synthesis, which is common in athletes. The increase of protein recommended for athletes helps the body maintain a good balance of nitrogen, which is essential for bodybuilding. (more…)

How to Gain Weight Fast

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Milk

Gaining weight is reduced to two things, training and nutrition. Of the two, nutrition is the most important. Unfortunately, skinny boys often have trouble consuming enough calories per day to pack on mass as fast as they want. If this is the problem you then use to load these quick snacks on the quality of calories.

1. Trail Mix

Trail mix can be made with a variety of ingredients, but overall it is a mixture of nuts and dried fruits. Nuts provide most of the calories here with a good healthy dose of fat and a small amount of protein. Nuts provide some extra calories, plus the antioxidants in things like raisins and dried cranberries.

2. Nut butters

Peanut butter is a staple food, but you can also try almond butter, cashew butter, and macadamia nuts. All these provide a huge boost from calorie healthy high-fat, along with some protein and fiber. Just be sure to get the “natural” versions that contain no added sugar or fat. (more…)

Nutrition Important to body building

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

grain breads

Through personal experimentation I have found that muscle building is best done through weight training. This is because free weights force the use of stabilizing the smaller muscles in order to keep the weight balanced. I’ve also found that the use of dumbbells over barbells have also worked much better as well. The reason, in my opinion, for this is because I have found that the use of a barbell or largely dominant side tends to handle most of the weight especially when you start getting heavy weights this can also cause uneven development. Weights stop this as each of the parties has to push and handle the same amount of weight. With weight training also provides a greater range of motion, which uses more muscle fibers and promotes more muscle development.

Nutrition

The idea when it comes to nutrition load is actually quite simple. Eat more of your body can burn in a day. Now, before you go and start filling your face with all sorts of rubbish is important to note that the food you eat has to be clean and healthy foods including whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, lean meats and dairy products. Most commonly, you should try to eat about 500 calories a day your body burns off. This should make you more or less a pound of dough a week. (more…)

dairy products

Before you go and start filling your face with all sorts of rubbish is important to note that the food you eat has to be clean and healthy foods including whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, lean meats and dairy products.

Protein

Most often when loading is a good idea for you to obtain high quality protein powder that can be consumed immediately after a workout. The reason for this is because once you finish your workout your muscles are broken down and need a quick dose of simple carbohydrates and proteins. As the body digests food in liquid forms faster, consume a protein shake will help feed the muscles faster.

Multivitamin

While the development of your muscles are in constant use of vitamins and minerals muscles and cells in the body needs to function. Taking a multivitamins before a workout will help replenish your body with vitamins and minerals are lost. When choosing a multivitamin is also important that you try to avoid multivitamins with iron in them, as this can cause constipation. (more…)
