Let's now continue with the rest of my Eating Tips To Gain Weight!
Gain Weight Tip-6: Eat "Power Meals" For Added Energy and To Gain Weight.
Power meals is the term I came up for a particular meal structure that if eaten at specified times during the day can boost your bodys abilty to Gain Weight.
A power meal is basically a meal which comprises of a quick digesting source of protein and particular energy foods which also digest quickly and help to increase blood glycogen levels as fast as possible.
An example of this would be a quality whey protein powder blended with certain fruits.
Power meals are for these specified times only. Too many power meals will compromise building lean muscle by increasing fat gain and lowering your sensitivity to insulin.
Gain Weight Tip-7: Eat Foods Your Body Requires For Optimal Growth Hormone Production and Health.
To naturally produce hormones your body requires for gaining weight, specifically testosterone, you need to give it the building blocks it requires.
Testosterone is made from cholestrol ( simplified).
To gain weight by building muscle you need testosterone.
This is the main difference why males are more muscular than females.
It is because men have higher testosterone levels than females.
To give your body what it requires for optimal hormone production you require the right fats in your gain weight diet.
Examples of these fats would include:
coconut oil
animal fats
eggs
Essential oils
butter
cheese
Stay away from trans fats and hydrogenated fats!!
Gain Weight Tip-8: Eat Enough Fibre
Fibre is not talked about much in relation to gaining weight but is important for digestive system health and nutritional assimilation.
It is also important to keep your digestive system moving and assimilating as much nutrient as it can per day. Kind of like an assembly line! The more production you can get out of your digestive system the more you can fuel your muscles for gaining weight!
Gain Weight Tip-9: Eat Enough Protein Per Meal
It is crucial you get enough protein per day and spread it out throughout your day. Protein requirements have been exagerated for many years in the interests to sell more protein.
On the other hand protein requirements are definitely higher for a person or athlete training to gain weight than for a lazy couch potato hunting for his next show with a remote control!
At least one gram per pound of lean body mass is required to build muscle to gain weight and up to 1.5 grams per pound of lean muscle mass is optimal for heavy intense weight training.
Gain Weight Tip-10: Choose Your Supplements Wisely.
There are lots of supplements to choose from on the market and 99% of them are inferior to natural food for building muscle to gain weight. Natural food is higher in many naturally occuring vitamins and minerals benficial for muscle growth.
Stay away from weight gain powders. These are just empty calories not much different than most junk foods on the market.
Supplements that are worth trying are Creatine monohydrate , L Glutamine ( in moderation and carefully) and a good healthy protein powder without artificial sweeteners, colors and flavours( more on in a later lesson).
