How do bodybuilders lose fat so quickly?
It is usually a combination of cutting back on calories while burning a huge number of
them.
I’ve heard a lot of body builders hawking various supplements for weight loss, muscle
growth or both.
Some of them sell supplements to pay for what they use. Others sell supplements to pay for
essentials like food.
Why do so many body builders act like GNC salespeople?
It turns their physique into a billboard for the product. And it may make everything from
gym memberships to workout equipment a tax deductible business expense.
And working as a fitness model is a way to show off.
Most body builders rely on a mixture of exercise, weight lifting and dietary management.
They have to eat so many carbs, protein units and vegetables.
They balance their diet to minimize calorie intake while maximizing protein and nutrient
intake.
That’s why they live off workout shakes and vitamins.
That’s more a matter of laziness. Why buy five pounds of veggies and lean meat and cook
it when you could drink a body builder beverage that promises to equal to it?
More time in the gym to burn more calories.
And more time to show off that body in the hope of getting girls, and more time to earn
a living to pay for that body.
I’ve heard guys say you can cut fat or gain muscle but not both at the same time. It’s
like the fish or cut bait debate.
If you focus on weight loss and burning fat, it is hard to get the body to build muscle
when it thinks it is starving. Your body won’t bulk if it is starving.
Yet some guys say they can manage both.
When you are bulking and building muscle, you might lose weight, but you’ll certainly
lose percentage points of body fat.
How do they lose the fat?
Burn more than they take in, whether by taking in fewer calories or working out hard or both.
So they lose weight the same way everyone else does.
But with a lot more weight training.
