Best Post Workout Meal: Does It Really Help If I Take Sugar and Protein After Workout?

Here’s another issue we usually get a lot of conflicting advice about: Post Workout Nutrition. Sure, a lot of research had already established that we really lose a lot of essential nutrients during exercise, and the sooner we replace them after workout the better. But is it really imperative for our post workout meal to be in liquid form? Or is this just another one of those hypes that protein supplement companies are using to get us to buy their products all the time? And what about this talk about having to wait a specific amount of time after your workout before you take your post workout meal?

Tom Venuto, author of Burn The Fat Feed the Muscle, provides some helpful answers.

What Color Is Your Diet?

Food Color indicates different nutrient composition

As “gimmicky” as eating from every color in the rainbow may sound at first, there is some very legitimate and scientific evidence that this is a great idea. Each various food color is indicative of the phytonutrients and other healthful nutritional compounds found within these foods. According to the textbook Sports & Exercise Nutrition by Katch, Katch & McArdle), over 4000 phytochemicals have been identified, and 150 of them have been studied in detail.

Worst Foods To Eat If You Want to Burn Fat and Gain Muscle Weight

Have Your Cake and Eat it too - but only as a rare treat

In a previous post, I have listed the top food choices that are best for healthy weight gain and muscle mass building. A few of you got concerned when you saw that some of your favorite foods are not on the list and wrote to me voicing out your concerns.

Obviously I wasn’t recommending that you eat those foods on the list and those foods alone. Not all foods not mentioned on the list are automatically “bad” and should be avoided. So to address the confusion, here are a partial list of foods you really are better off not eating.

This is not an exhaustive list, but I’m sure you’ll be able to get the general idea and soon you’ll be able to distinguish bad food choices from good ones.

The basic guideline is for you to avoid foods that are:

* low in nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
* highly processed – contains a lot of artificial flavorings, colorings, additives, preservatives and ingredients you can’t spell or pronounce easily
* loaded with simple carbohydrate, and refined sugars
* very high in saturated and trans fats

Best Weight Gain Foods To Eat To Help Muscle Grow

The way you prepare food is important, too. Grilling, baking, or poaching are better than frying.

Calories are not created equal. Calories from fats is different from the calories you get from proteins or carbohydrates. So even if you are trying hard to gain weight, don’t resort to fatty, unhealthy foods just to achieve your daily calorie needs. You may be able to build muscle by eating Hamburgers, Ice Cream and Pizzas all day long but you may also die a lot earlier because of all the toxins you’ll be dumping on your body.

Foods that are ideal for healthy weight gain are those that have a high nutrient density (more nutrients per calorie) AND a high energy density (more calories per gram). So don’t just go for high fat foods in an effort to gain weight fast, because what you’ll end up doing is just gain fat, not lean muscle mass.

Here are the best choices of food for weight gain. If you consume these and couple it with a effective weight training program, you will surely build muscle fast:

Weight Gaining Diet: Top 10 Nutrition Tips for Optimal Muscle Building

Big Muscles Are Not Just Made in the Gym

If you’d been reading this blog for a while now, you may have noticed how I place a lot of importance on your muscle building and weight gaining diet. This is because a healthy weight gaining diet is usually one of the two most neglected aspect of muscle building (the other aspect is recovery).

Oftentimes, trainers focus solely on what they do at the gym, and never really think about what they do when they are outside the gym. This is rather absurd if you think about it, because you’re only at the gym about 1% of the time. The other 99% of your time is spent sleeping, working, eating, playing, relaxing, socializing and whatever else you do. Understand that a great body is made not just in the gym but also in the kitchen and in the bedroom. Therefore you should seriously consider how what you do in the other 99% of your time are affecting your muscle building efforts.

So here I’ve compiled a list of the best weight gaining diet tips that you must apply if you are really determined to gain weight and build muscles mass fast. Ignore them at your own peril!

How Bodybuilding and Weight Gain Supplements Companies Are Scamming You

Bodybuilding and Weight Gain Supplements: Are they Really Worth Your Money?

I’m aware that like my younger self, there are many young men out there who are still falling for misleading claims and paying extortionate prices for bodybuilding supplements, so I thought I’d show you this video clip from the documentary “Bigger Stronger Faster” by Chris Bell. This short video clip will show you:

* That Supplements in general like Sports supplements, weight gain supplements, muscle building and bodybuilding supplements are NOT regulated by the FDA.
* That you, me or anybody can easily set up a legitimate business making and selling these supplements – without having to meet any quality standards
* The cost for Supplements companies to make their products are very little, allowing them to easily make 1000% profit margins!
