You are not alone, as the wide variety of available bodybuilding diet plans are extremely confusing, from low carb/high fat, to high carb/low fat, low protein, high protein, balanced fat/carb, etc, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
If you have been attempting to build muscle or burn fat, and have not been achieving WEEKLY results, then you need to change your bodybuilding diet plan immediately, as food is the fuel that builds muscle and promotes fat loss, but eating the wrong combination of foods will guarantee very little, if any, progress in your muscle building or fat loss efforts. In fact, because of a poor diet, most out of frustration mistakenly turn to worthless bodybuilding supplements, which create false promises for those who are confused as to the proper bodybuilding diet plan and weight training program to follow, so your number one rule is to never invest in any bodybuilding supplementation, as they are not the answer to achieving dramatic results, despite the powerful advertising.
Many have become infatuated with low carb bodybuilding diet routines in recent years, especially when pursuing fat loss, believing that carbohydrates are evil by their very nature, which is not surprising given the level of misinformation available on the Internet, but what proponents of the low carb diet routines fail to mention is that a lack of sufficient carbohydrates in the diet will burn muscle mass and slow metabolism, meaning that you not only lose fat when following a low carb bodybuilding diet plan, but also burn precious muscle mass, which in turns slows your metabolism, and makes regaining body fat extremely easy and likely! Therefore, low carb, ketogenic bodybuilding diet plans are horrible strategies which prevent muscle building, burn already built muscle mass, and slow metabolism, therefore making them a very poor choice for anybody wishing to display a lean, muscular physique.
No, but for the opposite reason as low carb bodybuilding diets, in that while significant muscle mass can be built in the presence of excess carbs, such muscle gains will be accompanied by substantial body fat increase, which blurs definition, and creates a bloated, disappointing appearance. Many who pursue bodybuilding fail to realize that merely building muscle mass is not the most important factor, as there is an equally criticial element of developing a very impressive body, and this involves keeping body fat levels very low so that muscle building efforts yield a high level of definition. A high carbohydrate bodybuilding diet plan will bring about muscle gains, but also produce a level of body fat that will prove unacceptable, not only hiding muscle mass, but also adversely impacting appearance in general e.g., the face, neck, etc.
Unfortunately, the higher fat diet strategy offers the same downsides as the low carb bodybuilding diet plan, in that muscle can be lost and metabolism reduced, but higher fat principals can be used for certain meals throughout the day to control blood sugar, especially in those who are sensitive to carbs (gain fat quickly or hesitate to burn fat in the presence of carbohydrates), but if the higher fat bodybuilding diet techniques are used improperly, they will lead to the same downside as described earlier in the low carb bodybuilding diet section.
Such routines are superior to high or low carb diet philosophies, but still are fundamentally flawed, as although such a bodybuilding diet plan does disengage the downsides of high and low carb diet philosophies, the upsides also suffer, leaving the bodybuilder with very slow and rather disappointing progress in both muscle gains and fat loss.
A bodybuilder seeking to build muscle mass needs a greater quantity of protein than the average sedentary man or woman, but consuming excessive quantities can cause body fat increase and unnecessary kidney stress, so a balance needs to be achieved, and many either consume too much or little protein for their body to produce desired muscle building or fat loss. A bodybuilding diet plan devoid of sufficient protein will not produce any significant muscle increase, and will quickly burn muscle when calories dip into fat loss levels, while consuming excessive protein can prevent fat loss or stress the body to unhealthy levels.
I've personally experimented with high carb, low carb, balanced carb/fat, higher fat, etc, and was able to produce over 60 pounds of new muscle mass and burn 50 pounds of fat without bodybuilding supplements or steroids, learning from the many mistakes I made during my own personal bodybuilding journey, and am now helping others achieve dramatic muscle building or fat loss results through a potent bodybuilding diet and weight training plan called MuscleNOW.
