  Milk is an excellent protein food, and it supplies the necessary proteins needed for muscle growth. Strongmen of every age and era have been known to consume gallons of milk daily and they were able to set records that stood for decades way before special protein supplements. In combination with heavy muscular exercise, drinking milk can help in gaining weight and building muscle.

  How do you lose more than 2 pounds per week?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Losing more than 2 pounds a week is not ordinary, and because of this, it requires extraordinary effort as well. To lose weight, you need to have a calorie deficit, meaning you need to burn more than what you consume. In losing more than 2 pounds per week, you’ll need a bigger calorie deficit, and this is done by a particularly strict diet and a more intense and rigorous training program designed to burn more calories. If your normal food intake is 2500 calories, to lose 3 pounds of fat just by dieting, you need to take out 1500 calories from your daily diet and consume a measly 1000 calories/day instead. This however is not sustainable because not only is it hard, it could be unhealthy as well. Alternatively, if you want to lose more than 2 pounds per week through training, you’ll need to train for hours and hours a day, just like in The Biggest Loser. Because they train for several hours a day, with the amount and intensity of exercise that would not have been otherwise possible in the real world, they create a huge calorie deficit that results to dramatic weight loss.

  What should I eat to gain weight?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  To gain weight, you need to eat all three macronoutrients namely protein, carbohydrate, and fat. These are what you need to eat on a daily basis, not just when you workout, so you can gain weight and meet all the energy requirements for your activities. Make sure you eat lean meats for protein, as well as milk, eggs, red meat, chicken, and beans. For your carbohydrates, choose complex carbs over simple carbs by consuming fruits and vegetables, as well as rice, pasta, baked potatoes, oats and breads. For your fats, choose vegetable fats over animal or saturated fats.

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  - Will this program work in the long run? Is it sustainable? In other words, will you be able to keep the fat off once you’ve managed to take it off?

  - Is this program so calorically restrictive that you will have to live with hunger 24/7 (and be tempted to go off your diet or binge)?

  - Will this program help you lose body fat while rebuilding lean muscle mass?

  - Will this food program make you healthier—that is, lower your cholesterol and triglycerides?

  - Will this program help you feel energized or make you exhausted and cranky?

  What are the benefits of eating fish?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Eating fish daily significantly lowers insulin levels, improves glucose production, reduces triglyceride production, and improves the level of HDL (good) cholesterol. Consequently this reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease. If you are concerned about the dangers of mercury in fish, avoid eating swordfish, tilefish, and king mackerel more than once a week, since these larger oceangoing fish have accumulated larger concentrations of mercury in their bodies. Another tip that can help lessen your risk of mercury exposure is to eat several tropical fruits every week. Mangoes, bananas, pineapples, and papayas may help to reduce the amount of mercury that your body absorbs.
