Bodybuilding The Straightforward Bodybuilding Diet Guide to Build Muscle, Build Strength and Put On Mass Fast As Hell Carlos Spencer Copyright © by Carlos Spencer Introduction Nutrition can be a funny thing when it comes to bodybuilding. One person follows a diet, does it for 3 months, and builds more muscle and strength than he’s ever done for the past 2-3 years of training. Another person follows the same diet, does it for 3 months, and he builds no muscle or strength whatsoever. So what makes the diet effective for one person and not the other? Is it the diet itself or the person who’s using it? In this book, I’m going to give you the diet tips that most professional bodybuilders use these days to build muscle, strength and mass. In saying that, you may not receive the exact results as the professional bodybuilders (they’ve got access to resources that most people don’t have). But I can guarantee that you’re going to build some serious muscle mass and strength from following these diet tips. You don’t have control over your genetics. Even though they play a huge part in bodybuilding, it’s not going to do you any good stressing about something that you can’t even change. What you do have control over is your training and nutrition. Let me take of the nutrition part. Before I get into this with you, I just want to let you know that I’m not a professional bodybuilder. If you’re looking for direct advice from them, then go watch their videos; there’s plenty of them online (although they’re going to say the same thing as this book, because my training methods/diets come directly from them.) If you’re looking for a certified personal trainer with a PHD in Sports physiology and blah blah blah, then you’re in the wrong place as well. However, if you’re looking for some knowledge from someone who’s had years of experience in the health/fitness industry and with building some muscle mass; if you’re looking for the diet that’s going to help you build muscle, mass and strength like you’ve never had before; I think I can help you with that.

The Only Formula You Need To Know To Build Lean Muscle Mass The Magic Formula. You probably already know it by now, but I’m going to say it again because it’s really important. Now obviously other factors come into play when it comes to weight management (e.g. HGH, Insulin, Stress), however in my experience this is the only thing you need to know if you’re looking to build muscle. Calories In Vs Calories Out The amount of calories that you take in during a day versus the amount of calories that you expend for the day. If you consume more calories than you expend, then you’re going to gain weight (whether that’s fat or muscle is another question, we’ll talk about that in-depth later). If you expend more calories than you consume, then you’re going to lose weight. Simple as that. So if you’re looking to build some muscle mass, you’re going to want to be gaining weight. This is referred to as the process of “bulking”. If you’re trying to burn fat while retaining muscle mass, this is called “cutting”. Bodybuilding is done with these 2 processes in mind. A Calorie is a unit of energy. Most foods/drinks contain calories, however some do not (e.g. Tea, Black Coffee, Calorie-Free Sodas). Everybody has a caloric maintenance level, although mine will probably be different from yours. Your caloric maintenance level is the amount of calories that you need to eat every day to maintain your weight. Eating below this number and you will lose weight. Eat above this number and you will gain weight. There are a number of things that determine your caloric maintenance level, and if you’re wanting to know yours then there are a number of handy tools online that you can use. In this book I’m not going to give you the “counting calories method”. That method is a 100% sure-fire no room for error way to control your weight, and if you want to do that then be my guest. For me, it’s way too much work to be weighing everything and counting calories and all that jazz. If you’re wanting to build a nice body, you don’t have to count calories. And
