5 Ways To Supplement Your Protein Intake To Build Muscles Fast!
1. Are you having problems gaining the serious muscle you
want to? Are you working out a lot with little changes to
your body? Want to get that ripped look men and women
will envy and desire? This article will provide you with a
plan to get the most out of your protein intake to achieve
your ultimate physique. Remember, to build mass, you
need to consume and process enough protein. Here are
five ways to get it done.
3. This rule is the most important principle of bodybuilding
nutrition. Don't worry about having equal or specific
amounts of protein or carbohydrates at every meal -
concentrate on getting calories, protein and water you
need distributed over an entire day in a pattern that
makes it as simple as possible for you.
4. "Pulse feeding," as this dietary style is often called, not
only enhances mass gains but, thanks to the impact it has
on insulin levels, the gains are partitioned significantly
more into muscle and less into fat than occurs with larger
meals taken less often. Frequent eating keeps the stomach
size small and has variable but positive effects on
appetite. It improves digestion, allows for the
consumption of more protein and calories, and promotes
"cleaner" eating. It also delivers a continuous supply of all
nutrients, which promotes nutritional synergy.
5. 2. Eat or Drink A Meal Every Three To Four Hours
6. Timing obviously ties in with the concept of multiple
meals. Not only do you make greater and faster gains
when eating six times per day, but certain types of meals
(e.g., protein drinks) offer unique and potent muscle-
building benefits if you ingest them at certain times.
7. The prime time to get in a high- protein meal is around a
workout - before, during and/or after. Taking it at that
time helps reduce protein breakdown, substantially
enhances synthesis and storage of protein and glycogen in
the muscles, promotes an anabolic hormonal environment
and greatly enhances recovery and growth.
8. 3. Drink At Least One Ounce Water per Two pounds of
Body Weight Daily
9. Water is the foundation of the bodybuilder's nutritional
pyramid. When it's combined with clean eating, multiple
meals and appropriate supplementation, pushing water
intake will result in amazing effects. Protein metabolism
requires water, and high-protein intake demands greatly
increased water intake. Water is the primary vehicle for
eliminating toxins, and toxins are a major factor
obstructing recovery and growth. Your baseline daily
water consumption should be an ounce per two pounds of
bodyweight.
10. 4. Rely On Whole Foods As The Foundation Of Meals
11. Get plenty of "raw" - uncooked and unprocessed but
thoroughly cleaned - fruits and veggies into your diet.
Solid foods are far more "natural" in terms of what the
body is designed to handle and thrive on. They provide
enzymes, fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and many
other immune system and muscle, bone and connective-
tissue building nutrients.
12. Solid food meals allow greater consumption of and
promote more thorough and effective digestion of protein
- whether the source of it is food or supplements taken
with it - which, in turn, enhances the utilisation of protein
for muscle repair and growth.
13. 5. Bump Up Protein Intake With Protein Supplements
14. Protein supplement are the only means to get as much
protein as you need to create the greatest possible
anabolic response.
15. As protein intake goes up, retention of it in lean mass also
increases, but this anabolic response levels off relatively
quickly - usually within two to four weeks. You need to
continue upping the intake for another cycle or two before
backing off.
16. Your ultimate body is within reach, providing you follow
the proven principles in this article. Muscle building is not
a pipe dream or only for those with the perfect genetic
makeup. Use these strategies and very soon you will see a
new you staring back at you in the mirror.
