The most common question I hear from aspiring young bodybuilders who work out in the gym I work and train at is how to gain weight, this is especially the case with hardgainers. How to gain weight when you are not generally a big eater or have a fast metabolism like most hardgainers do can be quite a challenge indeed. I was once a hardgainer myself when I started bodybuilding but one of the reasons I was able to gain so much muscle and have been able to keep it for so many years is due to a few dieting tricks I have learnt along the way from other hardgainers who have become giant bodybuilders.

There certainly is no doubt about the importance of fiber in your diet since without it you may end up with serious health problems.

For bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts there are a number of high protein low fat foods that should ideally be a part of your regular diet. High protein low fat foods provide the best sources of branch chain amino acids which are the building blocks for muscle growth and muscle repair. Without adequate high quality protein your body simply will not grow after stimulation through your gym workouts or from any other form of exercise. By sticking to low fat food you benefit in so many ways from a health perspective from minimizing your chance of heart disease to avoiding posture and back problems due to carrying excess bodyfat.

If your goal is to lose fat fast you need to concentrate on just two things, eating right and getting enough exercise. Unfortunately the media, women’s gossip magazines and so on make the idea of how to lose fat fast a much bigger deal than it really is. As long as you keep listening to the media and telling yourself that you can’t lose fat and you certainly can’t lose fat fast than that is what you will get. Start using some positive autosuggestion or positive affirmations instead of telling yourself you can’t lose fat and the moment those positive affirmations filter into your subconscious mind you might be surprised when you start to lose fat fast.

The main reason why fad diets don’t work is simply because fad diets are unhealthy and don’t supply you with enough of the nutritional requirements you need from numerous food sources. Some people can stick to a diet if it is the right type of diet for them if it still allows them to eat a good mixture of high quality protein from meat, chicken, fish or eggs, an adequate amount of complex carbohydrates like rice, pasta or cereals and a little bit of fat. You simply cannot live in a healthy way without at least a little bit of fat in your diet.
