Body building diet and nutrition meal plans should be designed to precisely fortify your body with power nutrients to build muscle fast. If you follow the right body building diet, you can quickly drop body fat and build muscle mass in a short period of time. Are you ready to learn how to get ripped and build a rock-hard physique? Here is what it’s going to take:
Many people think that building a ripped body means you have to spend 2 to 3 grueling hours in the gym everyday and eat a specialized body building diet packed with expensive body building supplements, but that just isn’t the case. The truth is, you can build a lean strong body by eating a clean, precisely fortified diet while spending only an hour or so in the gym each day.
Building muscle is all about training smarter, not harder. If you want to build a ripped body, you need to focus your attention on what you feed it, not so much on how hard you can shred it. Body building champions spend 80% of their efforts on feeding their bodies a clean body building diet and only 20% of their effort is spent in the gym executing their body building workouts.
The best body building diet plans start with eating frequent meals providing the body with the correct ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats at regular intervals throughout the day. Eating small meals several times a day raises your metabolism and increases the rate at which your body burns fat. It is exceedingly important to keep your metabolism regularly fed, without regular intervals of nutrition, your body will switch to a fat storage machine rather than a fat burning machine.
Your body has a survival mechanism which automatically switches to the fat storage mode if you leave it unfed for more than three or four hours. Fighting for survival, it starts feeding on lean muscle tissue for energy and storing calories as fat. That is why it is vital that you begin your body building diet with a strict regiment of six to eight meals per day spaced out no longer than 3 hours apart, two hours apart is ideal.
Your body building diet meals must include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. These are the macronutrients that must be present in order for your body to effectively build muscle, burn fat and repair itself. Eating a meal that is not balanced, for instance all carbs and no protein or fat, will not give you the muscle building results you are after. If you eat a meal consisting of only carbohydrates, your energy levels will crash and your body will store any unused carbs into fat. If you eat a meal consisting of only protein, you will lack energy and your body will not be able to turn the protein into muscle because it is difficult for your body to absorb protein without carbohydrates.
It is absolutely vital that you include a balanced meal every two to three hours to fortify your body with the nutrients it needs, but how many ounces, grams or servings of protein, carbs and fat is right for you? It all depends on your bodybuilding goals, do you want to build muscle and lose weight at the same time? Or do you just want to build muscle mass as quickly as possible?
Precise nutrient measurements are imperative to your success, you could base your body building diet on the standard 40% Carbs, 40% Protein and 20% Fat; or you could let a Natural Bodybuilding Champion show you exactly how to build a personalized diet plan that will deliver the powerful muscle producing results you are looking for at RippedNaturalBodybuilding.com

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/p…
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”.
