Learning to Tone Your Muscles Isn't Easy : 2 - Eat a sensible Diet

2 - Eat a sensible Diet :

By this I mean a diet rich in proteins, complex carbohydrates and unsaturated fats. Some good sources of protein are lean beef, skinless chicken, fish, eggs and whey protein. Complex carbs include whole wheat bread, brown rice and oatmeal while you can obtain unsaturated fats from fish oil (capsules), avocadoes and cashew nuts.

Should you use supplements or not? Supplements have gained a bad reputation in recent years but I personally think that used appropriately they are helpful. Without supplements you have to take in lots of extra calories in regular food to get the required nutrition whereas with supplements you get to pack in lots of 'good' nutrition in relatively few calories.

You can also have 'extra' convenient meals whenever you want.
Whey protein is the best example of this. A typical serving has at least 30g of protein and can be easily added to your oatmeal for breakfast. Do you know how many eggs you'd have to eat to get 30g of protein? A whole frickin' lot!

Supplements will help you get toned faster. Another one I recommend is known as Catalyst. It helps protect the muscle tissue from breaking down when you do intense cardio.

Eat 4-5 small meals a day and drink plenty of water in between meals. This will aid in building up your muscles and giving you the toned look you desire. Aim to eat 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fats. Also lose your fear of fat. You need good fats to build muscle and to keep you feeling full longer as fats are the most calorie dense food group.
