For bodybuilders and powerlifters, pigging out on fatty high protein foods is old school. Bodybuilders these days should have a fairly strict diet consisting of lean proteins, and this is also where protein powders shine. With the easy access to lean meats and relatively inexpensive supplements, there's really no reason to tempt fate by consuming high fat/cholesterol foods. I'm not sure why you think you hafta eat tons of fatty foods anyway.

You should be getting some fat, but in good forms such as olive oil, flax seed oil or fish oil. These are easily combined with foods and taste decent.

Lean beef, skinless chicken and turkey breast, tuna, salmon, skim milk, nuts, beans, soy and tofu are all excellent sources of low fat high protein.

If you wish to go for the quadruple bipass at 40, then that's your choice I guess.

Clogged arteries can be completely cleared - but not by diet. The reason adjusting your diet won't clear the arteries is because your diet isn't responsible for the plaque build-up. As surprising as it sounds, high cholesterol levels are caused by what you drink, not by what you eat. This explains why you get so many answers saying that the arteries never clear, or ones that push medication to clear the arteries. While medication may do the job, it's only temporary, and you're stuck on the medication for the rest of your life. These options for treatment are given because the people giving the advice doesn't understand the role of water in the body - this includes the medical profession who gives the same advice (where do you think these people in Yahoo Answers heard it?). We get 25% of our daily cholesterol from the food we eat, but this doesn't mean it goes straight to the arteries - because it doesn't. Arterial cholesterol develops in response to damage being done to the linings of the arteries. Dehydration turns the blood acidic. Passing through the arteries at a high shearing pressure, this acidic blood damages the linings with tiny cuts and abrasions that could peel off and cause fatal embolisms (clots) in other organs of the body such as the brain or kidneys. To prevent this, cholesterol forms and covers the damage like a waterproof bandage until it can heal. Because the role of water in the body isn't understood by the medical profession, the dehydration goes untreated and consequently, the damage worsens and triggers the production of cholesterol. Doctors advise to "drink plenty of fluids". But "fluids" other than water contribute to dehydration - the underlying cause of the cholesterol problem. If doctors understood about water, they would never give this advice. If this is hard to believe, consider this - cholesterol is tested for by taking a blood sample from a vein in the arm. Yet, there has never been a case where the veins have become clogged by cholesterol. The same cholesterol that builds up in the arteries also resides in the veins, and even in the smallest of the cardio system, the capillaries. If cholesterol was such a sticky nuisance, why does it never clog the veins or the capillaries? Venous blood moves a lot slower than the arteries and would thus be more inclined to become clogged. And, of course, the capillaries should also be plugged. But they aren't. Only the arteries get clogged - the arteries that are much larger and that has the fastest blood flow. The reason for this is because the arteries are where the damage from the acidic blood is happening, and this is the area that needs the protection that cholesterol provides. Clogged arteries can be cleared by correcting the dehydration in the body. Once the dehydration is corrected, there will be no more acidic blood to damage the arteries, and so the cholesterol will dissolve and be flushed out of your system. Follow the guide found through the link below. And give it time. It took a long time to develop the cholesterol, so it will also take awhile to fix the problem. But this will fix it, without question.

if you eat a lot of fatty foods now, even though you're young, you can still develop dangerously high cholesterol. stay far away from trans fats and saturated fats, because those are really what are going to clog your arteries and stick there for a long time. eat oatmeal for breakfast. if you're interested in body building, fatty foods aren't really what you're looking for here. if you're working out a lot, increase proteins (try to avoid red meat because it really is bad for you, and focus on eating a lot of proteins from beans,etc.) and increase calories in general. do this right with whole grains, fruits, veggies, etc. you want a variety in your diet no matter what. body building isn't just about pumping iron and gaining weight, you want to pay attention to water consumption and healthy diet, as well. if you go to a gym, there's probably someone there who can answer any other questions.

Answer 4

No. Gaining muscle does not mean pigging out on junk food. Sure you'll gain some fat when bulking, but gaining weight does not mean eat junk, and the end result, you won't like it. You need to be eating 5-6 clean meals a day.
