Meal Replacement Information
Aside from intense training and sufficient rest, maintaining an anabolic state within the body is the most critical element for lean muscle growth.To achieve this state, and especially to keep it, bodybuilders must properly manage one of the body's most anabolic substances; insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas in response to rises in blood sugar levels triggered primarily by the eating of sugars or carbohydrates. If the pancreas is over-stimulated it will produce too much insulin, which acts as a poison in the body. To protect itself, the body converts excess insulin to triglycerides which are stored as body fat. In contrast, if not enough insulin is produced, muscle growth becomes very unlikely because insulin also regulates the transport of nutrients like amino acids into muscle cells for protein synthesis. Growth hormone, thyroid hormones, and testosterone all interact with insulin to properly do their jobs. Bodybuilders can use insulin to work in their favor by learning how to manage it. In the pursuit of muscle, some bodybuilders gamble with their health by using anabolic steroids, synthetic insulin, and growth factors like IGF-1. Those wishing to bodybuild naturally and safely would be better served to learn how to manipulate their body's insulin levels through dietary means.Two keys to controlling insulin levels through the diet are meal frequency and food composition. MEAL FREQUENCY Every successful bodybuilder, from amateur to Olympian, eats at least six times per day. Successful bodybuilders know that by eating at least six meals per day, they provide their muscles with a steady stream of nutrients,keeping them in an anabolic environment. "Anabolic" refers to being in a positive balance of growth: for bodybuilders it means gaining more muscle than is being broken down naturally by the body through exercise and stress. The opposite of an anabolic state is a "catabolic"state, one in which there is a negative balance of growth. Since the body does not store protein the way it does fats or carbohydrates, it is essential that protein be provided to the muscles throughout the day for maximum benefit. Eating six times per day (every 2 to 3 hours) not only helps in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance, but also prevents the body from dipping into its own muscle tissue to get nutrients like protein, and also keeps insulin levels stable, a requirement for proper fat metabolism. In addition to eating every 2 to 3 hours, controlling the composition of the foods allows bodybuilders to better regulate their insulin levels. FOOD COMPOSITION Every bodybuilder should properly balance the composition of foods in their diets to effectively control insulin. This can be done by eating sufficient calories and consuming protein, carbohydrates and fat in the right proportions.
