5 Ways to Lose Weight and Build Muscle Quickly!

If you are a bodybuilder then you want to have a nice body, however how can you have a nice body if you are carrying more weight than you are supposed to? The trick is to change your diet to something that is more suited to you healthy lifestyle, but is still going to give you enough energy to transform into muscle. These tips are aimed to help.

1. Dont Eat Hard if you Cant Train Hard

If you are planning on not training hard then there is little point in eating a lot. If you do then you will end up with fat and you will be really sluggish for training. The trick is to work very hard, and train really hard to. On days that you cannot be bothered working hard we recommend eating no more than 2500 calories, however you should of course check with your GP before making an decisions.

2. Fill Gaps in you muscles with protein

After you have done a really hard work-out you have to go out there and fill the gaps in your muscles with protien. If you eat a lot just after working out of things such as red meat then you will end up with a really healthy body and more importantly your muslces will be expanding.

3. Do not eat Fast Food

If you are serious about losing fat and gaining muslce then fat food is one of the most stupid things that you could eat. There are many reasons for this, but a few include that it will zap all the energy you have from your body. Further to this, you will not be able to train hard and you will have gained weight in the form of fat rather than in the form of muscle.

4. Forget about Fizzy Drinks

You have to stop thinking about fizzy drinks, because they are not good for your body, your muslces or anything else apart from satisfying your desire for a sugar buzz. You should only be drinking it at weekends, and even then one can a week is probably too much. You sould only be drinking it when you absolutely have to.

5. Enjoy what you eat

Something that many bodybuilders forget to do is enjoy what they eat, but this is actually very important. If you are finding yourself eating things that you do not enjoy then the chances are that you are not going to have a happy relationship with your boybuilding part of your life. Try and find foods that you find tasty, and that conform with your diet.

Resistance training.

There is no easy quick way to do anything coz all things take a bit of effort. You would need to increase the protein intake in your diet so eat stuff like chicken breast and legumes like beans and lentils, etc. You would also need to do some cardiovascular exercise in order to get rid of excess body fat and make way for the muscles to show up through moderate body weight training.

I personally do not go to the gym yet have managed to get a good toned body with definable muscle mass. All I do is skip rope for 5 minutes(everyday) and then do the regular good old crunches and body weight training for 30 minutes. Believe me it takes effort to keep at it so play on your favorite music and enjoy the workout rather than feeling put off!

To get some good idea on how to get a cool tummy and body at home without going to the gym Google "abs workout" and click on the youtube for some good demos!

All the best!

Muscle weights more than fat, so if your goal is to loose weight, you’re on the wrong track.

If you want to loose mass and become more healthy and fit, and increase your muscle mass and strength, then I would begin eating better and excercising more in general. If you really want to increase muscle, then start doing some basic strength & resistance training.

I would recommend working out at least 5 times a week and developing a plan. Usually, you work different muscle groups on different days. For instance, work your arm muscles on one day and your leg muscles on the next and rotate. When you first begin lifting or using resistance machines, you start at a level that you are comfortable with- it shouldn’t hurt too much.

You want to aim for multiple sets and repetitions. Use lower weight if necessary, so you can do 2-3 sets of 25-35 reps. (With a bicep curl for instance, this means that you do 25-35 curls and take a short break, and then do 25-35 more, etc…) It’s better to use lower weights and more reps, than higher weight and fewer reps. Remember, don’t over-do it. If you injure yourself by adding too much weight or pushing yourself too far, you could do more damage than good. If you keep with it and also add in a fair amount of aerobic exercise, you will notice change in only a couple weeks. Give it a couple months, and it will be obvious. Good luck!

(And also, you could always get a personal trainer for a couple sessions. Get their advice and strike out on your own.)

***And whatever you do, don’t try those "body cleaning" diets like the one posted after me. Loosing weight that quick like that is just not safe. It’s a gimick for the company to make money.
