Why You Cannot Build A Muscular Physique Without Dieting
by Arnold Sylvester
Learning how to build muscle can be very, very complex. You have new gimmicks at every corner and faster, easier results seems to be promised by everything out there...
But despite looking great on the surface, these gimmicks and next-big-thing products tend to share one nasty similarity - none have actually got you any results.
Well believe it or not, there are several fundamental rules to hypertrophy which, if applied correctly, will see you pack on more lean size to your body in the next three months than any so-called next big thing can claim to outperform.
Today we will be focusing on just one of these fundamental rules - the diet.
Make no mistake about it. If you want to build mass you must structure your diet to suit this goal. Yet this is an error which most fitness enthusiasts fail to correct. Instead, you will often see guys training their heart out in their local gym but completely neglecting their body when it comes to nutrition.
Why does this happen?
Usually, it's simple because the word diet conjures up images of starving yourself. After all, you didn't ask how to lose weight, you asked how to get bigger - you asked how to get lean fast...
The word diet simply means a summary of your regular eating habits. It has nothing to do with your fitness goal. If you fail to supply your body with the nutrition it requires to build, it will not build. It really is that simple in the long run.
You can do this by taking care of the three major macronutrients:
1) Sort out your protein intake to allow for new muscle growth.
If you are using the gym then you are probably also consuming a whey protein supplement. That's great. But the problem is most men don't consume any other protein besides this. You should be getting around 1.5 grams of protein per pound of your body weight every day to maximize lean growth.
2) Sort out your carbohydrate intake to promote gains in size.
Carbohydrates are the nutrient which we can play with in order to find our optimal consumption. For most guys the problem doesn't lie in getting enough carbs, it lies in getting them from the correct sources.
Porridge, wholewheat pasta, green vegetables and brown rice are all great forms of complex carbohydrates which are packed full of nutrition.
Aim for around 1.5 grams of carbohydrates per pound of your body weight, so a 200 pound man would shoot for around 350 grams per day. Tweak this figure if your body still struggles to add size, and reduce it of you feel you are adding body fat.
3) Sort out your fat intake to find the missing key.
Your fat intake is the key to your overall success. Healthy fats have been scientifically proven to increase both hypertrophy and fat burning effects. Do not skimp on vital nutrients found in fish, vitamins and cooking oils.
Aim to eat around 0.5 grams of fat per pound of body weight.
If you can take care of the three problem areas above, you will separate yourself from the chasing pack in your local fitness center and begin packing on lean size in next to no time at all. The next time somebody quizzes you on how to build muscle, they may even be shocked to hear you recommend proven, simple changes to the diet rather than blowing your monthly budget on the latest supplements and workout gear.
