FAT WAS A BAD WORD IN THE OLD DAYS AND STILL SOMEWHAT TODAY. 

YOU WERE A SERIOUS BODYBUILDERS AND FITNESS BUFFS, WHEN YOU HAD ACHIEVED THE ABILITY TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE FAT FROM YOUR DIET --

“CUT THE FAT, AND YOU’LL LOSE THE FAT” AND “FAT MAKES YOU FAT” -- WERE THE MOTTOS.

I ALWAYS LAUGHED. 

WELL INTO MY 20'S, I WAS EATING NECK BONES AND RICE, COLLARD GREENS AND CORN BREAD, AND PLEASE  -- PASS ME A THICK PIECE OF THAT ALLIGATOR TAIL.

BUT GUESS WHAT?

CUT THE FAT

AND YOU FEEL

LIKE CRAP

WHEN YOU SLASH THE FAT OUT OF YOUR EATING PLAN (DIET), IT BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TO LOSE FAT, TESTOSTERONE LEVELS DROP, INSULIN FUNCTION GOES WACKY, FORGET ABOUT MUSCLE GROWTH AND LOSS OF ENERGY.

THE BAD RAP FATS GET IN THE MEDIA CAUSES MOST OF US TO THROW FAT ON THE TRAIN TRACK.

TO SAY ALL FAT IS BAD AND NOT SUPPLY ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF GOOD FATS IS WRONG. 

IN REALITY, SOME FATS ARE ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ITSELF, NOT TO MENTION OPTIMAL MUSCLE AND FAT METABOLISM. 

BUT SATURATED FATS ARE BAD ONES. 

THEY PLAY NO IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE BODY EXCEPT TO BE BURNED AS ENERGY. 

QUITE SIMPLY -- YOU DON’T NEED SATURATED. 
BUT THE TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET IS RICH IN SATURATED FATS - BUTTER, CHEESE, BEEF, ETC.

SATURATED FATS ARE SOLID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. LIKE CRISCO AND ITS THE CURD THAT CAN LEAD TO A NUMBER OF HEART DISEASES, INSULIN RESISTANCE AND EVEN A GREATER LIKELY HOOD OF GAINING BODY-FAT, EVEN IF YOUR TOTAL CALORIES ARE THE SAME AS SOMEONE ON A LOW-SATURATED FAT DIET. 

WORK TOWARDS CONSUMING AS LITTLE SATURATED FAT AS POSSIBLE.

SIMPLE UNSATURATED FATS ARE USUALLY LIQUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE -- THESE ARE THE HEALTHY FATS. 

I TAKE 1 TEASPOON OF THESE OILS AFTER EACH OF 4 TO 5 MEALS EATING PLAN (DIET).

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF UNSATURATED FATS THAT ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS OR EFA’S. 

THESE ARE THE ONES THAT CANNOT BE MADE BY THE BODY AND ARE NECESSARY FOR THOUSANDS OF BIO-CHEMICAL REACTION TO TAKE PLACE IN YOUR BODY. 

THESE FATTY ACIDS ARE CALLED LINOLEIC / LINOLENIC ACIDS, SOMETIMES CALLED OMEGA-6 FATTY ACID OR OMEGA-3 -- 
FOR ESTABLISHING THE IDEAL METABOLISM. 

THE UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS I USE TO KEEP STRONG AND MUSCULAR:

• FLAX SEED OIL OMEGA-6/-3, 
• ESSENTIAL BALANCE OIL, 
• UDO OIL AND 
• COD LIVER OIL

EFA’S ARE HORMONE-LIKE SUBSTANCES. 

THEY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN ESTABLISHING FOR ME PROPER REGULATION OF 

• BLOOD PRESSURE, 
• HEART FUNCTION, 
• INFLAMMATION OF JOINT/ CONNECTIVE TISSUE, AND 
• NERVE TRANSMISSION. 

I'M ACHIEVING BETTER PUMPS DURING MY WORKOUTS .

NOTHING MAXIMIZES TESTOSTERONE HORMONE PRODUCTION LIKE UNSATURATED FATTY-ACIDS

LOVE MY COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES -PART 3

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

CARBOHYDRATES PROVIDE A PROTEIN SPARING EFFEC. 

PROTEIN SERVES A VITAL ROLE IN THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND GROWTH OF BODY TISSUES. 

WHEN CARBS RESERVES ARE REDUCED, THE BODY CONVERTS PROTEIN INTO GLUCOSE FOR ENERGY. 

CARBOHYDRATES ARE VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOUR BODY DON’T GET ENOUGH, IT HAS TO METABOLIZE MORE PROTEIN STORES; IN OTHER WORDS MUSCLE DEPLETED!

EATING TOO FEW CARBS CAN LEAVE YOUR MUSCLES FEELING AND LOOKING FLAT. 

MUSCLE FULLNESS DEPENDS TO A LARGE EXTENT ON THE GLYCOGEN STORES WITHIN THEM.

VASCULARITY ALSO DEPENDS ON CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE. 

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED, WHEN YOU GO ON A DIET YOUR VEINS DISAPPEAR BETWEEN MEALS AND THEY RETURN SHORTLY AFTER YOU EAT?

BEING A COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDER I HAVE ALWAYS USED A MIXTURE OF SIMPLE AND COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THE SHOW TO SATURATE THE MUSCLE TISSUE WITH WATER AND ENERGY FUEL THAT WILL GIVE YOU MUSCLE FULLNESS. 

WHEN YOU GO ON A LOW CARB DIET YOU DROP A LOT OF WATER WEIGHT, EVERY GRAM OF CARBOHYDRATE THAT GETS STORED IN THE MUSCLE TISSUE - ABOUT 3 GRAMS USUALLY ACCOMPANY IT. 

WHENEVER YOU DECREASE YOUR CARB INTAKE , AS WE ALL KNOW -- YOU DROP BODY WATER.

THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA BUT THERE IS A REBOUND EFFECT -- YOU RETAIN EXCESS WATER . 

THE WATER RETENTION WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IF YOU HAVE YOUR TIMING DOWN. 

THE TRICK I USE IS -- 
TAKE IN SIMPLE CARBS AND POSE BY GOING THROUGH THE 7 MANDATORY POSES UNTIL I BREAK A SWEAT.

KEEP THIS IN MIND, 
IF CARBS ARE LOW,
SO IS YOUR ENERGY 

- AND ONE COMMON COMPLAINT FROM THOSE WHOM FEEL OVER-TRAINED IS LESS ENERGY AND LOSS OF MUSCLE FULLNESS. 

THINK ABOUT IT!
