Wait, I'm supposed to do what...?

join bodybuilding.com.. its a much better place for advice on muscle building.

i am a member and i have learned so much from there.

i am a female who has been trying to put on some muscle mass for about a year now.
at its basic..its about eating well and lifting heavy.

i am 5'2". my T.E.E. is 1800 cals. i tried to do a slow recomp, and i ate about 1600-1800. to minimize fat gain, maximize muscle gain. i think i did a good job, but its very slow..so now i'm eating 2000 cals. i'll probably gain more fat, but hopefully i'll gain more muscle.

i take n.o. xplode preworkout, and a whey isolate post workout. i am a vegetarian.

why not try something like p90x then they map it out for you, i'm terrible at planning too and trainers are super expensive so i like when i'm told which workout to do which day.

That's pretty much what I'm looking for. Something to tell me exactly what to do. Is p90x really worth the money, though?

I personally think it is, and it has 90 day garuntee so u could always send it back if u dont like it, i did the lean version a year ago a def saw alot of muscle growth. Theres also a ton of stuff on results all over the internet.

Fat absorbs into your body within 2 hours.
Fats are calories that are not worth the calorie count.
Avoid the fat calories that don't do much for you, but give you calories.
Fat is just glucose and insulin. That is why diabetics have trouble later in life.
There body is covered in glucose (sugar). Enlarges the organs and shuts you down.
That’s why pork fat is yummy. Yummmmm, glucose and insulin.


Simple Carbs absorb into your body within 1 hour (white anything)
Most fast food items are high in fat and simple carbs.
Sugar spikes your blood glucose level. If the sugar spikes it up to or over
140mg, (and it will) the pancreas gives you insulin and stores it as fat.


Complex Carbs absorb into your body within 3 hours
Complex Carbs are calories that burn slow and even in your body.

Protein absorbs into your body within 4-5 hours
Proteins are calories that maintain your muscle.


Spread out the right combination of calories that will keep you full.
CplxCarb/Protein/Fat for non-active people
Protein/CplxCarb/Fat for athletic people.

Don’t forget your greens. Vitamins and Minerals (Micronutrients) connect to your fat and wash it out. Calcium is even better for this. Non-Fat everything is good for your body.

You will see fat cells take in glucose from blood. If it is insulin that makes this happen, and the fact is insulin is combined with the fat.


Proof #2

http://worldtennistalent.com/Nutrition/How-Sugar-Increases-Fat-Storage

Insulin is released by BETA-cells in the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels. Insulin actually moves glucose from the blood into tissue/cells (also into fat cells), thereby replenishing glycogen stores and reducing blood glucose levels. In other words, glucose going into muscles is a good thing, helping restore muscle energy levels (glycogen) for muscular contraction. But glucose uptake into fat cells also occurs due to insulin. When glucose enters fat cells, it can be turned into glycerol or fatty acids, which is why glucose is associated with high triglyceride (glycerol + 3 fatty acids) levels. Once glucose turns into fat it cannot be converted into glucose again – it is going to stay fat until it is metabolized because of the one-way enzyme pyruvatedehydrogenase (PDH)!



Proof #3
Converson of glucose into glycerol and fatty acids. (Fat)
1.
a. The ester of glycerol and one, two, or three fatty acids.
Glycerol is a conversion of Glucose or Glycolysis. First sentence first paragraph.
The metabolism of carbohydrates is called glycolysis. It is an anaerobic process (requires no oxygen). In digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides (simple sugars) = glucose. (This may get pretty complicated.)

The metabolism of glucose is called glycolysis and has 3 phases. Glucose has 5 carbons. The first phase is sugar activation. 1 ATP molecule comes in with energy to start the whole thing off.and drops off phosphate and leaves as ADP. The phosphate combines with the glucose which has picked up a carbon and turned into 6 carbon fructose. A phosphate bonds to each end resulting in 1,6-fructose biphosphate (bi = 2 phosphates bonded to the #'s 1 & 6 carbons. That starts phase 2 - sugal cleavage. The 6 carbon sugar with a phosphate on each end breaks apart into to 3-carbon compounds, each with a phosphate attached. The 3rd phase is sugar oxidation and formation of ATP. The phosphates combine with 4 ADP's to form 4 ATP's but since it took 2 ATP's to get started you only have a net gain of 2. Also two enzymes called NAD+ are reduced (gain hydrogen) and becomes 2NADH and H+. Without the phosphates, you end up with 2 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. Without oxygen these molecules will turn into lactic acid. With oxygen, pyruvic acid continues on the path to the Kreb's cycle.

Fat is just glucose and insulin. That is why diabetics have trouble later in life.

I always thought the body was covered in connective tissue, muscle, and various layers that makes up skin.

now I know that diabetics are covered in sugar I'm going to try and find me one to lick.

Be sure to log it in your food diary.
