Supplement Secrets True Story
I recently tryed to place an ad for the the book "Bodybuilding
Supplement Secrets Revealed" in a major muscle magazine
and here is the response I got:
"After reviewing your ad and website, the publisher feels it is
in our best interests to not allow you to advertise with us.
XXXXX XXXXXX
Advertising Manager
XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
They fully admitted that the only reason they were rejecting
the ad was to protect their own interests. They are saying if
people learned the truth about supplements, the magazine
would lose money. In other words, since they sell
supplements, it is in the magazines best interests to keep
people in the dark about supplements.
I was a bit sceptical when I read the book and it told how
greedy the magazine/supplement company owners are and
how they fight to hide the truth, but this incident and others
like it have proved it to me.

Bodybuilding Meal Timing

Since your muscle tissue needs nutrition every 3 to 4 hours,
it makes sense to time your meals 3 to 4 hours apart. The optimum
daily meal schedule would be to eat 4 to 5 times per/day for
fat-loss/lean muscle maintenance, and 6+ times per/day for muscular
weight gain. You need to "TIME" your meals, instead of falling into
the bad habit of eating when you are hungry. Your lean muscle tissue
NEEDS nourishment every 3 to 4 hours, period. If you give the 656
various muscles in your body their needed nourishment they will
structurally benefit from this, and your glycogen stores will be
constantly replenished giving your brain the needed fuel to function
at peak performance. Your skeletal muscle will heal correctly in
between workouts, as the needed nutrition from the correct nutrient
mix (Optimum is; 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and less than 20%
fats) will supply your body with exactly what it needs to speed up
your metabolism, burning fat, and satisfying your lean muscle's
nutritional needs.
Your brain's only source of energy is Glucose, which is what
all carbohydrates assimilate into when digested (both simple and
complex carbohydrates, but complex carbs have soluble fiber and are
the focus of your carb intake). Consult the Glycemic food charts to
select the complex carbs with the lowest Glycemic ratings, so the
glucose "conversion" will release into your blood stream at a slower
rate, disallowing the storage of excess glucose into adipose tissue
(fat). Eat what you need based on your daily caloric intake, don't
over-eat. Avoid eating late at night, as this food will most likely
result in fat storage, unless it is very low in calories, high in
protein and from complex carbohydrate sources that are very low in
their glycemic rating. Eating late may also hinder you from having
a restful night's sleep, as the food digesting in your stomach may
interfere with you being able to get into REM sleep. REM is the
deepest sleep, and it is here that your growth harmone is released,
giving biochemical signals to your system to burn the fat stored in
your body, and keep your muscle tissue lean and healthy throughout.
Your body only "heals" during sleep, you need at least 8 hours of
sleep per/night.
Eat your first meal early in the morning, so that you will
be able to fit the other 3 or 4 meals into your schedule timing
them accordingly throughout the day. Yes, breakfast is the most
important meal of the day, followed by your post-workout meal in
importance. Your post-workout meal should be consumed 30 minutes
after you exercise, while your body is craving the replenishment
of glycogen stores, which were depleted during exercise. Your
pre-workout meal is the next most important meal, but be careful
not to overeat on this one, and give yourself 1 to 2 hours of
digestion before exercising. If you miss a meal, plan ahead using
a meal replacement protein bar or protein shake with a piece of
fruit or vegetables. Try to get half of your food daily from fresh
fruits and vegetables, cooking them depletes the rich nutrients.
Be careful with fast food, the momentary convenience is not worth
the excess fats, and absence of good nutrients.
To your body, digestion is considered work, and the more
work you make your body perform, the more energy you burn,
raising your metabolism while supplying the needed nutrition to
get healthy and fit. Diets don't work; this is a lifestyle
change for the better. If you want to give your digestion a
rest, fast one day out of the month drinking only water and
fruit/vegetable juices.
