What’s the fastest and most effective way to loose the fat and start building more lean muscle.

Here’s more quick tips from personal trainer and LifeChoice Coach, Jay Szova. Let’s hear what he has to say about building more lean muscle to boost your metabolism…

How to Build Muscle Quickly & Easily
By Jason Szova

You have decided to build muscle and now you want to know the best way to do it quickly? Of course, we live in a society that has grown up with instant gratification. While you cannot develop muscles instantly, there are a few things you can do that will have you increasing mass in no time flat.

Five Tips to Build Muscles

1. The first thing you must do is have the correct mind set. Have a clear picture in your mind of what you want and why you want it. Once you have your goals set you can begin to head toward them, however if you have no goals in mind you will be wandering aimlessly through your workouts and soon you will quit. Your why is nearly as important as your what. The reasons you want to build muscle are your motivation. Set your motivation on a healthy body as opposed to just looking good. Having a nice physique is a fine thing to hope for but it should not be your only motivation.

2. Get your diet in order; you will not be able to continue eating loads of junk food while you are building muscle. A good muscle building diet will consist of high protein, essential fats and a few carbohydrates for energy. Protein is the key factor in building muscle mass. When you work your muscles you are actually damaging them, it is through the healing process that you increase their size. Protein speeds healing and therefore increases mass more quickly.

3. Your workout will need to be tailored to your current physical condition. Experiment with the weights until you get the right starting place. If you lift ten pounds a few times and feel no resistance, you need to move the weight up. It should be heavy enough to work the muscle but not so heavy that every lift is a strain. You will need to do several sets of 8-12 repetitions, at the end of your last set you should be at muscle failure, in other words you can barely lift it.

4. Rest your body! You should have a day of lifting followed by a day of rest. This means no exercising of the muscles two days in a row. Many body builders will work certain sets of muscles one day then use an entirely different set the next day. This is perfectly fine as long as you let one set of muscles rest so that they can heal. The other form of rest you must have is sleep. Do not skimp on the sleep your body requires to heal. Like we mentioned above muscle mass is built by healing muscles.

5. Proper hydration is crucial to building muscles. Water carries nutrients to the cells, helps the body eliminate waste, regulates body temperature and cushions the joints. All of these things are crucial to a healthy body and a good work out.

Conclusion

Building muscle quickly is possible if you do it correctly. Eat right, work your muscles, stay motivated, get proper rest and hydrate your body and you will have six pack abs, a chiseled chest and well formed muscle everywhere else as well.

How balancing your blood sugar is so vital to your weight loss, especially your goal of getting that flat belly!

How to Eat a Low GI Diet to Balance Your Blood Sugar
By Jason Szova

The Glycemic Diet is a diet which is based on a scale which is known as the Glycemic Index. The Glycemic Index (or G.I. for short) depends on how quickly a food is converted into sugar in the body. Foods with a higher G.I. number are more quickly converted into sugar than foods with a low G.I. number. They are rated on a scale of 1 to 100. It is a method of ranking carbohydrate foods. Food substances rated above 60 are usually considered to be of high GI value.

Low GI foods take a longer time to digest and are slowly released into the bloodstream. High GI foods digest quite quickly and result in rapidly releasing the glucose into the bloodstream which stimulates excessive production of insulin. Hence, low GI diet is advisable in balancing blood sugar. It is proved that low glycemic food helps to reduce the incidence of Type II diabetes and helps in controlling Type I and II diabetes.

Eating low GI diet doesn’t mean that only foods with low GI values are to be consumed. It is advisable to substitute high GI foods with low GI foods whenever possible and low GI foods are to be included in each meal. Medium and high-GI foods can be consumed in moderation.

Usually, GI diets contain low fats that are 30 percent of calories, moderate proteins that is about 20 percent of calories and approximately 50 percent of calories from carbohydrates. Paleocarbs are carbohydrates which contain vegetables, fruits and tubers. All these carbohydrates are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals and most of them have a low GI value. Consuming low GI diet is a way of controlling carbohydrate intake while including carbohydrate foods in the diet.

Below mentioned are a few food substances which can be consumed as low GI Diet -
