ByErek Galloway

So it seems like everyone is wanting to either gain lean muscle, build muscle fast, lose weight gain muscle, etc etc etc. There are many ways of saying it but a lot of the things that people are looking for comes down to the same thing. The basics. Building lean muscle is built upon understanding the foundation that it takes to get you to where you want to be with your body. Yes you will need protein to build muscle but more importantly to build muscle fast you need to understand the entire concept of what is going on with your body. A lot of it comes down to nutrition. Now some people when they hear nutrition they think diet. Well the term diet can be used as well but it's still not in the way that a lot of people think. The word diet simply means, the nutrition value and/or the food intake you consume that makes up your eating pattern. So a more beneficial way of saying it is to call it what you are doing, a nutritional healthy lifestyle.

To build lean muscle and gain muscle mass, nutrition goes hand in hand with your workouts. Here are a few pointers when you are looking at ways to increase your muscle size and get that lean physique that you are after:

Some of these things I'm sure you've heard time and time again, but there is a big difference between hearing and understanding.

Processed foods are the number one thing that haunts society. Processed food removes the vitamins and minerals out of the food and they are replaced with fats and carbs and sugars. These get absorbed into your bloodstream very quickly and make you hungry once again and tired and so on.

Therefore, you must and absolutely must limit your intake of processed foods. It's not as hard as you may think and at the same time you realize very quickly just how much crap we have out there in society today. Keeps this idea handy when you are wondering about what is processed or not. Obviously Frito chips or fudge stripped cookies do not grow on trees, so companies have to add things to these products to get them to be what they are. Keep this in mind the next time you are shopping

Eat smaller meals but eat more meals more frequently. The goal here is that you want to keep your metabolism constantly going and not let yourself or you body get to that "starving" place. Once you reach that area you will become less concerned with what you are about to eat because they goal will shift from feeding your body to just feeding and fulfilling that hungry feeling. So not only will you eat whatever you can at the moment, most likely you'll end up eating the entire bag of that something. The goal is to keep your muscles fueled throughout the day so whenever that muscle building workout comes along you will be ready.

Increasing your protein intake will increase your muscle mass. This can be tricky though. You do not just want to only have protein and no carbs. Doing this means you are lowering your calorie intake and therefore your body will start taking these calories from the protein, leaving you less for muscle growth and muscle development. So many suggest that you leave your carb intake at a regular healthy level and increase the amount of protein that you are consuming. Doing this you will still be providing your body with the energy needed for your day and for your workouts, and the protein need to build lean muscle and to help with your building muscle exercises.

These are just a few pointers of an endless information field, but knowing some of the basics again in losing weight, burning fat, and gaining muscle, will help keep you on the right path. Keep educating yourself constantly on tips and techniques, knowledge is power.
