The coveted goal of getting ripped, losing Fat and still gaining muscle is a controversial subject.
While many so called Fitness "Gurus" have made a living off telling you that all the above is achievable, old school Bodybuilders will tut' and shake their head. Proclaiming that building muscle and stripping Fat at the same time is nigh on impossible.
The truth i suspect is somewhere in the middle.
So, what is the correct answer?
This article will tell you.
It will also prevent you from wasting your money on so called Gurus' Expert' advice and over priced Supplements.
Fat Burning and Muscle Building Education
Your body needs energy to function, and to do this it uses a certain number of calories. When you take in less calories than your body needs, then it is required to get those extra calories from another source.
Where?
Well, from the only other place it can.
From your own internal bodily stores.
To be even more precise: From your own Fat stores.
This is why hundreds of products, Diets and Weight Loss systems are based on the theory of
Consume less calories and you will burn more Fat.'
However, the body will also be burning its own Carbohydrates as well as Fat. This is the reason why so many people recommend a low Carb Diet and lots of Cardio for effective Fat burning.
Listen,when it comes to muscle GAIN, this is certainly not the magic bullet, because the less Carbohydrates in your blood, the more muscle you will lose as the body is forced to use muscle as fuel.
So what to do to get ripped and gain muscle ?
On paper it seems like a horrible paradox....
To break it down further...
In terms of exercise, weight-lifting effectively rips' your muscles, so they can be built back stronger and larger through adequate nutrition especially Protein.
The problem: In order to keep the muscles in an Anabolic (growing) state, the body will also inevitably gain some Fat as well as Muscle.
But as we said earlier, you need to avoid excessive Cardio, on a low Carb Diet because it leads to muscle loss as well as Fat loss !
You can see it is a fine balance to strike.
So Can You Ever Gain Muscle And Lose Fat At The Same Time?
Well, if you have exceedingly good genes, a superfast metabolism and you manage to strike the incredibly fine balance of calorific intake, Cardio exercise and weight training then YES It can be done, but it's a tough balance to achieve.
The other option is to take Steroids that metabolize Fat effectively, and increase Protein Synthesis (for muscle growth) yet risk a number of potentially horrible side effects.
The "Gurus" will tell you that Fat loss and muscle gain is easily achieved and anyone can do it.
Could it be because that's exactly what so many people want to hear ?
AND are willing to spend money on.
So What's The Solution?
Separate your goals into Mass Building and Fat Loss cycles.
Its an old school technique that has fallen out of fashion because it means piling on a few extra pounds of Fat in the Mass Building stage.
Nonetheless, these extra pounds are soon shed and it really is the ultimate way to build fast quality muscle.
The Process
The Mass Building cycle is all about packing on muscle and size. The Fat Loss cycle is all about getting ripped and Fat burning!
What you do is build you muscle up first, using Mass Building, then use the fat Loss Cycle AFTER to burn that Fat away and show off your seriously shredded physique. When cutting down you will still lose some muscle but you would have built so much during your Mass Building that you still end up bigger and more shredded than you were before!
