Successful Weight Gain

Attributes of Successful Weight Gain Diets

Your weight gain diet must do two simple things to be successful at helping you put on lean muscle weight.

It must provide you with calories in excess of your maintenance amount. Your maintenance amount is that amount of calories your body uses to fuel it's energy concerns. It is when the body has calories beyond this amount that it has the ability to either store these calories as body fat or use them to build muscle.
It must supply the body not only with plenty of protein but also adequate amounts of carbs and fats. While the amount of calories you take in will be responsible for deciding whether or not you gain weight, it will be the types of calories you take in, as well as when you take in these calories, that decide whether this weight materializes as the muscle you desire or the body fat that you don't.

If you learn nothing else in your search for information on how to gain weight and muscle, learn this:

Your weight gain diets will ultimately decide not only if you gain weight but whether or not that weight gain is muscle or body fat.

No bodybuilding supplement, not creatine or even anabolic steroids, and no weight training program, not any "super mass" routine or any specific exercise, has the ability to build muscle without you providing it the raw materials to do so through your weight gain diets.

If you were to set out to build a brick house, what would you need? You would need some plans, a blueprint perhaps, otherwise who knows where those bricks might end up. Bricks, yes, you would need bricks. You wouldn't forget the bricks, would you? And you would need labor, someone to follow those plans and cement the bricks into place.

When it comes to building muscle mass, your weight training is your blueprint, your body provides the labor (doing so when you give it time - when you are resting), and your diet supplies the bricks. The muscle-building bodybuilding supplements (creatine and the like) are building specialists that can be brought in to help speed up the construction.

Now, you can make plans until you're blue in the face and you can bring in all sorts of building specialists but you simply can't build a brick house without the bricks. You can train like a madman, you can spend thousands on the latest supplements but until you give the body the raw materials you simply can't build muscle.

Again (and again and again), Don't expect your body to put on muscle until you are consistently following a solid weight gain diet.
