Body Building

You are blessed.
How old are you?
Most people put on weight after age 40.
Any way before you try any thing, see a doctor to rule out any abnormalities (Hormone, Pituitary).
Remember it is ten times easier to put on the weight then to take it off.
Body building is opposite of weight loss. But you must understand weight loss in order to build body.
I will include my article on weight loss also.
Most people eat protein reach food and complex carbohydrates, with one thing in mind, that they have to exercise 6 days a week and they have to eat more than what they burn off each day.
If you eat about 300 to 400 more calories per day then you burn off, you have a weight gain of slightly less than one pound per week.
You need to eat about 4000 calories per day minimum.
If that does not work than slow down your exercises routine.
In extreme case you will not exercises for two weeks at all, followed by vigorous exercises routine for six weeks. Repeat this cycle again and again till you reach your goal.

Life Style Change Program for Loosing Weight
By

Who needs to loose weight?
Answer is simply not every one, only the over weight person.
Who is over weight?
This is simple, it is easy to find out and it is available on line, it is call Bio Mass Index, and calculations are simple. According to this calculation if you find your self say only 10 pounds more, you may not be over weight. Remember every one is slightly different and you can just watch it, on your own and not let it get out of hand.
What is the reason for being over weight?
This is also simple, have doctor check you out for any physical or hormonal abnormalities. The doctor should be advising you of your ideal weight even though you have already figured out the ideal weight and you are seen a doctor because your weight is not where it should be according to BMI.
Basic understanding of loosing weight.
Every one uses calories at all time. There may be some exceptions to this rule, for most of us; the rate of use, even when we are resting, we use 65 calories per hour minimum. This comes to1560 calories per day. The actual range is between 65 and 100 calories per hour. This is consistent with heart rate of 60 to 80 bits per minute.
Simply put any person eating only say 1500 calories a day will not put on any additional weight. At this level of calories consumption the person should loose some weight over long haul, depending on the individual rate of metabolism.
What is a healthy weight loss?
When one tries to loose weight, one should loose excess fat; there should be a healthy loss of weight. Loosing muscles tissue is unhealthy.
How much is one pound of body fat?
One pound of body fat weight is approximately same as one pound of butter. If you look at a one pound package of butter, you will see it contains between 3200 to 3600 calories. This means that each time a person burns 3600 more calories then what the person takes in, the person will loose one pound.
How many pounds should a person loose in a month?
Any one that is trying to trim down can figure out how long it took to put on the excess pounds. The fact is; it did not happen over night. It usually creeps up, but the person realizes one day suddenly.
This is why a person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Do not wait for New Year.
Taking above in to consideration a person should not loose more then 2 pounds per month. If a person looses any thing more then that, chances are that the person will not be able to maintain the weight loss. It will take extra efforts to loose and it will take extra efforts to keep it off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
When an overweight person should start loosing weight?
At once. The person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Again do not wait for New Year.
How does body react to weight lose?
Any time there is depletion of fat beyond certain level, the body reacts by slowing down metabolism, so that it can build up fat. If the body is use to say 2000 calories per day and detects only 1500 calories per day for considerable length of time it reacts to the situation by reducing the rate of metabolism. When this happens one need to help body by increasing activity. Usually takes about four weeks for body to react.
What is the relationship between body and body fat?
Under ideal condition fat act as a reserved energy source for our body. Certain level of fat is good for healthy living and even may save our life in certain life threatening situations. Every one should have minimum required level of fat on their body.
What if there is no weight loss at 1500 calories in take level?
This is a rear occurrence. Do not panic. The body has slowed down the metabolism to such a great extent that you must help it. The only way to help is to increase activities, this means you have to exercise. You do not need to join Gym but you can go on an an half an hour walk every day or batter still engage in a power walk for same duration. Power walk burns 250 calories per hour and walk burns 100 calories per hour approximately.
What is the importance of body fat for a female?
Females require little more body fat then men. In the absence of certain required level of body fat, females are not able to function properly; in particular they may not be able to conceive. You can find lot more about this on internet.
At 1500 calories intake per day what one must drink and eat?
Drink
One gallon of liquids most of witch should be in the form of water (zero calories).
Calories should be accounted for all other liquids.
Why water?
Water is a universal solvent, means it dissolves almost every thing at least in very minute quantities. This helps purification of body.
Eat
What should be your proportionate in take of fat, Proteins and Complex Carbohydrates?
This depends on what your need are.
1.Need to reduce fat.
Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 30 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.
Proteins: 60 percent of 1500 calories per day = 900 calories.
2.Need more energy.
Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 40 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.
Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.
3.Need to reduce weight only.
Fat: 25 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 375 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 25 percent of 1500 calories per day = 375 calories.
Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.
4.Need to increase muscles bulk, but still reduce weight.
Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 15 percent of 1500 calories per day = 225 calories.
Proteins: 75 percent of 1500 calories per day = 1125 calories.
Exercise the muscles you want to develop, you can find right exercise on line, recommend use of light weights.
Foot note: To take fat is so important, while reducing even fat, that it is included in all cases. If the fat is completely cut out, body will think of producing the fat, and will produce the fat by reducing metabolism, without fat in take, you may actually again weight even at lower than 1500 calorie level. You will feel run down and lethargic.
How one must, drink and eat?
Drink
Every one may not be able to follow this regime.
A 16 oz glass of water fist thing in the morning will be very healthy start.
If you need to stabilize your stomach before eating, you can have a glass of water just before each and every meal. This is the easiest way to meet your quota of gallon of liquids.
Eat
To day almost half the world is starving.
In western culture. Standard healthy practice for long time was three warm square meals per day. No eating in between, but children were allowed night cap.
All that has changed, present thinking is 5 to 6 times per day. Any way what practice one follows is up to them; to each his own.
Another best practice will be a glass of water before bed time, nothing to eat for two hours before bed time.
How do I know the calorie count for various drinks and food?
If you are buying packaged items it is on the package.
Go on the internet and find the calorie information.
Lots of cook book now a days list calorie per serving.
Use your best guess, in this method use higher figure then you have guessed.

You wouldn't get an average personality by eating.
If you want to increase your weight and PHYSICAL appearance, you need to work out, drink a weight-gain shake after working out (avail at health food stores) and put on muscle. Make sure you work out all major muscle groups or you will look like Arnold Schwarznegger on top and a stork on the bottom. Very weird looking.
Be prepared to NOT look real muscular like a football jock. You have a slim build. Be happy with the muscle growth you get (especially work on those six pack abs, the chicks love those and you will see much muscle definition with those as a slim guy).
Also, be happy you are slim, you WILL fill out in your 30's and 40's when all the jocks are getting fat. It is much easier to keep in shape as a slim guy than as a fat, former football player.

You're doing the wrong types of set. To get big you need to aim to do 3-4 sets of 5 reps, with exhaustion happening on the 5th. If you think you can do more reps then you're not lifting enough. So, keep the workout you have but reduce the sets and up the weight. The only way to get big is to stress the muscle. If your doing 10 x 4 then you're clearly not stressing the muscle. The first answer was correct as well in saying you need to incorporate some bent over deadlifts and squats. Benching and curls may do your chest and arms, but to look balanced you need to keep your back built up too. So for every bench press exercise you do, make sure you do a squat or deadlift exercise to keep you balanced out. Go heavy, and drop the reps.

First, let me make an assumption that you do not want to be FAT.
Being fit should be your goal. When I played football at the University of California, we had some folks who wanted to bulk up but not be FAT and NOT take steroids.
They began a weight lifting and aerobics program to build muscle weight AND were monitored by the team doctors (med school interns). Muscle yields bulk and weight gain when accompanied by a good diet.
So, I would get yourself checked out by a doc to make sure your size is not a hormonal or nutrition thing. If OK, join a gym and workout and watch your fat intake as you eat more.

Well, I have about 20 kg. of fat around my gut I'd love to be able to give you. :P By the sound of your question, you're a vegetarian? That's tougher, but not impossible. If we assume the former, we can also assume that you want to gain weight in a healthy manner, which is tougher still. First, make sure you're consuming the proper amount of fat-soluble vitamins in particular and all necessary vitamins and minerals in general. Second, if you're slim and in good health, then focus on calorie consumption. If you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Third, if you want to gain muscle instead of fat, lifting weights is good, but make sure you consume more protein to allow this to occur.
As far as an average personality, why on earth would you want to do that? Life is more interesting if you're an individual.

I'm a slim gy too. The best remedy is to exercise systematically. i.e, Do not exercise with an empty stomach. Because doing so will burn muscle(undesirable) . So in order to burn fat and build muscle, grab a healthy snack before workout. This helps both obese and slim gyz to build a good personality...
Cheers!!!

First of u need to know how fat increase. We eat foods then some kalari add to our body. This is inward of kalari of our body means our income. Now we do work and exercise in those we use our body's calory. This is outward of calory of our body. means like our expense. if our income more then our expense fate will increase. if our income is equal to our expense our body will be as it is. and other cas if our income is less then our expense fat will atomatically decrease. So, first u have to make ur complete calory inward data. Now u just need to expense more than it and u can reduce ur fate. this is basic thing.

Today, due to food processing and especially that done to our edible oils, our Thyroid gland becomes malnutritious and slows down. As it slows down, so does your metabolism.
Keep in mind a faster metabolism will help you acheive healthy weight loss.
See these symptoms below, and check if any or all of them fit to your situation.
Cold hands and feet, low body temperature, sensitivity to cold, a feeling of always being chilled, headaches, insomnia, dry skin, puffy eyes, hair loss, brittle nails, joint aches, constipation, mental dullness, fatigue, frequent infections, hoarse voice, ringing in the ears, dizziness, loss of libido, and weight gain, which is sometimes uncontrollable.
If these symptoms fit your situation, you might be suffering from hypothyroidism, or a low functioning of the thyroid gland. A sluggish thyroid means a sluggish metabolism, and that means weight gain no matter what diet you are on.
What can we do?
You may be consuming the wrong oils. Your polyunsaturated oils (soy, corn, . safflower) are now fed to pigs and livestock, as it causes them to gain weight. Corn and soy (and their oils) are now recognized at anti-thyroxin agents. These oils have Linoleic and linolenic acids, long-chain fatty acids, which have an anti-thyroid effect.
What can be done then?
There is a good natural way to stimulate the thyroid gland, and return to your natural and healthy weight. First of all, you must eat sensibly and try at all costs to eliminate the “white toxins” from your diet. These are, refined white sugar, refined white flour and chemically processed (including commercially fried) potato in any form. These also have a detrimental effect on your whole body, not just the thyroid gland.
Next you must change your oil consumption from the polyunsaturated varieties (once considered beneficial for your heart and circulatory systems, but now they are under study research to be culprits for a whole range of human maladies). You may be surprised to learn that the polyunsaturated oils are now fed to livestock, as they are natural anti-thyroxin agents and cause the animals to gain weight quickly!
Eat only VIRGIN or EXTRA-VIRGIN (meaning unprocessed and unadulterated in any way) olive oil, peanut oil, and if you can locate, coconut oil.
Eat these oils in small and logical quantities. If you must eat mayonnaise and other oily sauces, use these oils and make them yourself. With the new food processors, you can make a very delicious mayonnaise in 1 one minute using an egg, a bit of salt, a dash of lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Good for your heart and thyroid.
Your thyroid will turn back on, but you need to assist it to lose weight. This means a daily exercise program, a logical diet and banishing from your diet all culprit oils and products. Read food labels more carefully.
Do not be afraid of saturated fats. As long as there are no TRANS FATS included, saturated fats can be very good for you, and helpful for your thyroid. An example of this is peanuts or peanut butter (without any trans fats added).
To achieve a maximum effect from a rejuvenated thyroid gland, follow first of all a quick detox diet This is always beneficial. Next replace your edible fats as advised above, and third, follow a maintenance diet and exercise light program and you will see positive results from the first few days.
if you smoke quit smoking
