In today’s world we all want a healthy lifestyle,great physique and good personality and for that we spend a lot on workout gears,gym, yoga classes etc. But we use to forget the most important thing which is diet.
So here we will be discussing about the impostance of diet for both muscle building and fat loss.
As discussed earlier people focus much on their training rather than focussing on their diet. It is said that diet plays 80% role and training plays just 20% role for any of the aesthetic goals but it depends upon whether individual is beginner or advanced.
We will be discussing about beginner’s only and will talk about advanced in the next blog.
So if you’re a beginner and you don’t posses nutritional knowledge, then mastering nutrition is far more important than training and should become your number one priority. I say this because improving a poor diet can create rapid, quantum leaps in fat loss and muscle building progress.
For example, if you’ve been skipping meals and only eating 2 times per day, jumping your meal frequency up to 5 or 6 smaller meals a day will transform your physique very rapidly.
If you’re still eating lots of processed fats and refined sugars, cutting them out and replacing them with good fats like omega threes found in fish and unrefined foods like Fruits,vegetables and whole grains will make an enormous and noticeable difference in your physique very quickly.
If your diet is low in protein, simply adding a complete protein food like chicken breast, fish or egg whites at each meal will muscle you up fast.
No matter how hard you train or what type of training routine you’re on, it’s all in vain if you don’t provide yourself with the right nutritional support.
In beginners (or in advanced trainees who are still eating poorly), these changes in diet are more likely to result in great improvements than a change in training.
The muscular and nervous systems of a beginner are unaccustomed to exercise. Therefore, just about any training program can cause muscle growth and strength development to occur because it’s all a “shock” to the untrained body.
You can almost always find ways to tweak your nutrition to higher and higher levels, but once you’ve mastered all the nutritional basics, then further improvements in your diet don’t have as great of an impact as those initial important changes…
Eating more than six meals will have minimal effect. Eating more protein ad infinitum won’t help. Once you’re eating low fat, going to zero fat won’t help more – it will probably hurt. If you’re eating a wide variety of foods and taking a good multi vitamin/mineral, then more supplements probably won’t help much either. If you’re already eating natural complex carbs and lean proteins every three hours, there’s not too much more you can do other than continue to be consistent day after day.
