Diet Body Building Mistakes

Outlined are some common mistakes in diet body building and what you can do to overcome these.

Not giving your diet body building enough time – Don’t expect to change your diet and then make great gains in a matter of weeks. It can take 3 weeks for your body to get used to your new diet. Think of your diet as helping your bodybuilding workouts, not a means to an end in itself. Meaning, if you have a perfect diet, that alone won’t do it. The laws of muscle building still apply. You will have to lift weights and recover before your muscles will grow. And this takes time. So don’t keep on changing your diet because you are not getting fast results.

Not counting calories – This applies most to those competing in bodybuilding and follow a strict competition diet. If this is your real job or you just want to be the best you can be when competing, then you must track everything you consume in your competition diet. This includes tracking your food intake, carbs, fats and proteins. You might not be meeting your bodybuilding goals because you are not eating the right amount of carbs, fat or protein.

Relying on supplements too much – Supplements are just that. They supplement your contest diet and it is your training, diet and with rest, which will give you your success for packing on muscle.

Inconsistent eating – You need to be consistent in how often and how much you eat. Stick to your plan and don’t alter it. Missing meals is going to hurt your goal of muscle growth. You made the plan for a reason, now stick with it.
