  • In a world that is obsessed with losing weight - you are interested in gaining weight!
  • People predispositioned to skinniness are commonly referred to as "hard gainers." This is the cool way to label your scrawny frame despite the fact that your body turns into a Number 2 pencil when you wear yellow!
  • n the skinny guy's defense, the reality is that you have been cursed with traits like Lamborghini-type metabolism, giraffe like limbs, and the strength of a senior citizen. You have to fight with every bone in your body to do something about your small frame and to keep up to your male buddies who seem to grow muscle just by sneezing - those muscle freaks piss me off just as much you!
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • I defeated my skinny genetics just after college and I am about to show you four tips that helped me climb from a 149 pound weakling to a rock hard 190 pounds in six months.
  • f you are underweight, then your first step to gaining weight is to understand that you must play by a different set up rules. I have said this before and will say it again,
  • You must think outside the box and give up the excuse of being a "hard gainer." It is time to stop listening to all the naysayers who have told you that is impossible to gain weight because of your genetics. Regardless of what you have been led to believe, you do have the potential to build an impressive physique that turns heads and even intimidates!
  • Double It Up: One of the most practical steps you can take is to double whatever you are currently eating in the kitchen right now. If you are eating one chicken breast per meal, then cook up two.
  • Live Your Life Around Food: Sure, you know that you must eat every 2-3 hours, but how well do you execute? Set your clock on a countdown timer to go off every 2 and 1/2 hours so that you reinforce the habit of eating literally not a second late for each meal! Don't turn off the damn beeper until you start chowing down.
  • se BIG Eating Equipment: If you want to bulk, then you have to eat like Hulk. Do you think Hulk eats out of a small plate, or a small bowel, or a small cup? If you are aiming to get big and huge, you are going to require large amounts of food, most likely close to double of what you are currently eating.
  • Never Train Hungry: How many times have you woken up, whipped up a protein shake and than headed off to the gym? Or maybe you had a long afternoon and missed a few meals and then attempted a weight training workout after work? I thought this was common sense to avoid, until a few of my skinny clients confessed that they were showing up for their workouts having only eaten a piece of fruit and some crackers within the entire day!
  • . Eat Nutrient Dense Foods: Focus on caloric-rich foods that are loaded with nutrients. Avoid foods with empty calories, which means there is little or no nutrient value in the calories you are eating. Why would you consume a 500-calorie plus meal that is loaded with fat and sugar which does nothing but make you feel sluggish and soft? Instead, eat a high caloric meal loaded with slow releasing carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and fiber.
  • Carbohydrates: Oatmeal Rice Breads Yams Beans Potatoes Fruits Veggies
  • Proteins: Steak Chicken Lean beef Cottage cheese Whole milk Eggs Salmon
  • Fats: Olive oil Flax oil Avocados Nuts Peanut butter
  • Extras (high calorie cheat food): Ice cream Raisins Dried fruit Trail mix
  • Drink A Carb & Protein Drink While You Workout: How hard is to sip on a calorie-rich drink during your weight training sessions? Simply mix up a 2:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein with one liter of water and you instantly have a few extra hundred calories per day. Now have an extra workout drink before your workout and extra workout drink after your workout and that's easily an extra one pound per week. Only use this technique if you are weight training at a very high intensity.
  • Live The Motto, "Never Stop Eating" Did I hear you say, "But I'll throw up if I eat all day?" Maybe... Is it necessary? Of course not. But this is a part of pushing your body's threshold.

  • The amino acids in the protein you eat, especially the essential amino acids your body cannot produce, stimulate muscle synthesis or the creation of new muscle tissue.
  • Men and women both need 1-½ to 2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day to gain muscle weight. However, you must include this protein intake as part of a dietary plan very high in calories. Men must first consume 50 calories per kilogram of body weight and women must eat 44 calories per kilogram of body weight just to maintain current body mass. Then, you must add 350 to 700 calories to that to build 1 to 2 lbs. of muscle per week.
  • The best protein powders contain 2 to 2-½ g of the essential amino acid leucine per serving. Leucine appears to trigger the onset of muscle protein synthesis more than other amino acids. Ensure you eat 3 to 9 g of leucine in each of your meals.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Your pre- and post-workout meals should be in the form of a protein shake made with a minimum of 48 g of protein, skim milk and fruit
  • he protein in skim milk stimulates muscle synthesis better than the protein in soy milk. Carbohydrates like fruit enhance muscle tissue building when combined with protein powder. The amino acids in protein powders are more quickly absorbed into your bloodstream and your muscle cells compared to meat and chicken, optimally enhancing muscle growth.
  • Protein powders are dietary supplements and must not replace all the sources of protein in your diet. Healthy options of high-protein foods include lean chicken breast, turkey, mackerel, lean meat, low-fat dairy and salmon. Chicken breast, turkey and mackerel are high in magnesium, a mineral essential for optimal muscular contraction
  • Lean red meat is high in iron, necessary for effective transport and use of oxygen, giving you maximal energy. Low-fat dairy products are rich in calcium, another minimal necessary for muscular contraction. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.
  • Plant sources of protein like beans, rice, wheat, nuts and seeds are incomplete proteins. This means such plants are missing at least one essential amino acid. If you do not eat animal products, combine two different sources of plant protein such as beans with rice, seeds, corn, wheat or nuts. Consuming multiple sources of plant protein ensures you eat all the essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle.

  • foods ranging from white rice to buckwheat.
  • whole grains are generally healthier because they offer more fiber
  • Examples of whole grains include barley, brown rice, oatmeal and whole-wheat bread.
  • Unsaturated Fats
  • Fat calories should make up about ¼ to 1/3 of the calories you eat.
  • saturated and trans fats can damage your cholesterol levels and increase your risk of heart disease
  • Swap these less healthy fat sources out for unsaturated fats, which are found mostly in nuts, seeds, plant oils and fish.
  • Lean Proteins
  • Protein should make up about 10 to 35 percent of your total calories
  • Fish, seeds and nuts also happen to be high in protein.
  • choose skinless chicken breast over fried dark chicken meat, replace whole milk with low-fat or skim milk, and choose beans over red meat in tacos, for example.
  • Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
  • get about 1½ to 2 cups of fruit per day and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day
  • a glass of 100 percent fruit juice can equal one serving of fruit but you shouldn't fill up on juice because it doesn't contain any fiber.
  • canned and frozen fruits and vegetables can be healthy alternatives when you don't have access to fresh produce, but avoid the ones that have been doused in salt, sugar, syrup and creamy sauces.
  • fresh fruits and vegetables can become less healthy if you prepare them in unhealthy ways

    Teenage athletes should include protein with all or most meals and snacks. Protein is an essential nutrient needed in the body for the growth, development and repair of muscles and body tissue. Protein is particularly beneficial following a workout, as it aids in rebuilding muscle fibers broken down during an intense or prolonged exercise session. This boosts the strength of muscles in addition to increasing muscle mass and size. With adequate recovery, the body is better able to perform optimally during a workout the following day with less risk of fatigue, soreness or possible injury. Incorporate protein into daily meals by eating eggs for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, low-fat yogurt and string cheese for snacks and a serving of lean beef, turkey or fish for dinner. A post-workout protein shake made with low-fat milk, a banana and protein powder may also help athletes who have trouble meeting caloric needs through food.

  • If you were to wrap your hand around your upper arm and squeeze, you would feel various types of tissue. The soft, spongy material is fat mass, and everything else is considered lean body mass. This includes skin, bone, muscle, fluids and connective tissue. Out of all these types of tissue, fat and muscle are the only ones you have control over.
  • Feed your body healthy foods. Avoid foods that are deep fried, cooked in butter, smothered with gravy, doused with creamy sauces and coated with sugar. They are empty-calorie foods that offer you no nutritional value. Eat foods instead that are beneficial to muscle building such as eggs, cottage cheese, lean beef, chicken breasts, fish, beans, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and oils.
  • Drink water to hydrate your muscles and keep your calories under control. Avoid beverages high in calories and caffeine, such as energy drinks, lattes, soda, sweet teas, slushies and alcohol. The Institute of Medicine recommends that women get approximately 2.7 liters of water a day and men get approximately 3.7 liters a day. This comes out to about 90 oz. and 120 oz., respectively.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Eat more often to keep your metabolism elevated and to constantly supply your muscles with nutrients. Have a meal as soon as you get up and do not go more than three hours without eating for the rest of the day. Combine protein and complex carbs in every meal. Turkey tenderloins with a baked yam and steamed cauliflower is a meal example.
  • Perform cardiovascular exercise to lose weight. Do any type of cardio that you enjoy, such as jogging, brisk walking, cycling, swimming, elliptical training, rowing or stair climbing. The American College of sports Medicine recommends 60 to 90 minutes of cardio for weight loss.
  • Lift weights to build muscle mass. Spend most of your workout time doing compound exercises. These involve more than one muscle and joint working at once. The end result is faster gains in size and strength. Perform exercises such as bench presses, military presses, back rows, squats and dead lifts. Aim for 8 to 12 reps and three or four sets of your exercises and work out three days a week, alternating with cardio days.
  • Utilize a maximal amount of weight with your exercises. This will ensure that you fully tax your muscles and gain a maximum amount of size. Have a spotter on hand whenever possible to assist you.

  • To gain weight, you need to consume more calories every day than you burn with physical activity. You can also gain weight by increasing the size of your muscles.
  • Nutrient-dense foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Foods that are both energy- and nutrient-dense include legumes, nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados.
  • The main goal is to increase your overall intake of calories every day; it doesn't really matter if you eat more meals or increase the size of the meals you eat right now. If you're not used to eating much at any one time, you may prefer to eat several small meals or snacks throughout the day.

  • When you think about protein supplementation, the number one type that is discussed the most is Whey Protein. It comes from milk. During the process of turning milk into cheese, whey protein is separated out. Protein can be found in a variety of foods -mainly meats, such as fish, beef, and chicken.
  • Casein Protein This is probably the second most discussed in bodybuilding circles of how well it works when it comes to slow digesting and long lasting protein.
  • Casein is an extremely slow digesting and rich protein source that continues to feed your muscles long after whey proteins have dropped off.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Egg Protein This is the most old school type of protein. Surely you remember the movie Rocky where he drinks the eggs before training. This is actually very dangerous to do as it can lead to several illnesses and poisoning.
  • Fortunately there are egg white protein products available and of course you can separate the yolks and cook the whites so you can get your egg protein this way. It's a rich source of BCAA's and arginine.
  • Milk Protein comes from cow's milk after the water has been removed and most of the carbs and fat have been taken out. Milk protein is actually the source of two other proteins we covered earlier; whey and casein. You have had milk since childhood unless you are lactose intolerant.
  • here are two forms of milk protein. The first is Milk Protein Concentrate. When the whole milk is filtered most of the carbs and fat are removed. The process that does this is known as ultrafiltration. The second type is Milk Protein Isolate. When the milk is processed even more, this leads to the isolate. The milk protein isolate is 85% protein. Despite the fat and carbs being taken out, much of the whey and casein remain.
  • Soy Protein Soy Protein is derived exclusively from soy beans. Soy protein provides a healthy way to get non-animal protein into your diet. They're great tasting, natural and can have a plethora of healthy effects on the body. It is ideal for high protein/low carbohydrate diets. Soy protein is approved for those who are lactose intolerant, and can be used as a meat substitute for vegetarians. Much more than just an ingredient for a protein shake, Soy protein can be used for cooking instead of flour, producing high protein foods that are extremely low in fat - a bodybuilder's dream come true!
  • Beef Protein The protein that is derived from beef after the cholesterol and fat has been removed is known as Beef Protein. This one has really grown in popularity over the past couple of years and is relatively new when it comes to protein supplementation.
  • The only type of beef protein available is Beef Protein Isolate. This type has been broken down from larger fragments into smaller ones like both whey and casein isolate. It is best to take beef protein in the morning or around your training.

  • -Malai is a cream that is used in many Indian dishes (often sweet dishes). So, yes, this also is most likely a heavier dish.

  • Clay ovens are a large part of Indian cooking. Meat, fish, or chicken are usually marinated, spiced, and cooked to perfection. Usually, it is considered a full-flavored, lower-calorie dish
  • Naan, a favorite of many is offered in array of different flavors (even whole wheat!). One piece will make a small dent (average is around 200 calories)
  • If you have had curry sauce, you know that it is typically well-seasoned AND well-spiced. Additionally, it can also be flavored with ghee making it a heavy dish
  • Coconut milk can add a great deal of flavor and is certainly healthier than a heavy cream. However, its high fat content can make one meal the equivalent of two
  • BUT, like anything, too much of a good thing loses its value. A serving of rice is ½ cup (105 calories). The average served at a restaurant – 1 cup (210 calories)
  • Most Indian desserts are cream or milk-based. This keeps calories and fat high, unfortunately

  • Most sets are 8-10 reps, the ideal range for muscle growth. The first two sets of the first exercise for each bodypart are warm-ups. The last two are working sets. The first working set comprises 8-10 reps to failure, plus 2 forced reps. The last working set will include 8-10 reps to failure, 2 forced reps and 3-5 partial reps at the end.
  • 1. CHANGE IT UP Don't let your body get used to anything. Every three to four weeks, change the exercises and the order in which they are done. Change the angles by using different hand/foot positions. Rest periods can also change; this is an often-overlooked training variable.
  • . REST On at least two days per week, stay completely out of the gym. This means no lifting! And don't neglect sleep - this is one of the most overlooked factors in muscle growth. Sleep equals time to grow.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • GOALS Create mini goals. Don't just expect to put on a ton of muscle in one year without checking yourself along the way. Set weight-gain goals every 2-4 weeks and evaluate the results. If you fall short, make an adjustment for the next goal. When you stop setting goals, you stop critical thinking and stop making gains.
  • MAINTAIN Every 8-10 weeks, take a couple of weeks to prevent a plateau. Don't stop training, but back off a little and let your body recover. Stop trying to get stronger and don't push sets to failure. After two weeks of maintaining your previous gains, go back to 110%. Reduce your calories during this back-off phase as well. This gives your body a break from digesting and utilizing all the food you nee
  • FST-7 This is the advanced training technique I've used with all my athletes.
  • Basically, you train that bodypart heavy as you normally would on any given day, keeping the rep range at 8-12, but on the last exercise you perform the 7 sets to finish off that particular muscle, with minimal rest in between to get the best pump possible.
  • Alternate the first exercise between dumbbells, barbells and machines. Use them all each workout, but change the order and angle. On all chest moves, you must arch your back, throw your chest high and keep your shoulders back. This takes the shoulders out of the movemen
  • Low-rep flat-bench presses (fewer than eight reps) are a quick way to tear a pec. Use a full range of motion on all exercises. The only exceptions are intensity multipliers used on the last set. When you reach failure, push your muscles further with assisted negative reps or partials. Lean forward on dips to emphasize chest.
  • Work the angles. There are three sides to the shoulder muscles and countless angles to hit them. Sit, stand, lean; barbell, dumbbell, machine; use them all. Start the workout with a press. Hit the big compound movement while you're strongest. Don't be afraid to work your rear delts near the beginning or middle of the workout. If you always do them at the end they will never grow!
  • Warm up your shoulders, chest, triceps and rotator cuffs before training. The shoulders are vulnerable to injury. Try seated lateral raises to really isolate the side delts. This is my favorite move to build round shoulders!
  • BALANCE YOUR PROTEINS: Take in protein of all types from all sources — fast acting, slow acting, whey, casein, egg, fish and animal proteins (beef, chicken, turkey, etc.).
  • WHERE'S THE BEEF: Beef is great for offseason growth. In addition to the amino acids, you get tons of B vitamins, iron and testosterone-boosting fats.
  • JUNK IT UP: Don't be afraid to eat some junk food once or twice per week. This boosts your metabolism and gives your body a different type of fuel. Stick to the "clean junk." These are calorically dense, but not super greasy foods. Examples are pasta, burgers, steak, sweet potato fries and cheesecake.
  • If you want to grow, insulin spikes are your friends. You just have to time them correctly, like breakfast and postworkout. These are the times to have some fast-acting carbs that quickly replenish glycogen stores.

Meat Production Environment Humans Population

shared by Aninder S on 04 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Between 1950 and 1994, global meat production increased nearly fourfold, rising faster than the human population. During this period, production rates jumped from 18 to 35.4 kilograms per person
  • Overpopulation puts pressure on the earth's resources
  • Each person has needs for food, water, shelter, heating/cooling and transportation. To a large extent domesticated animals have the same needs.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • In United States, farm animals outweigh their human brethren by a factor of four to one, effectively making the US "population” balloon from 295 million to 1.2 billion.
  • In Canada, farm animals also outweigh people by a factor of four to one. On a given day there are approximately 14.6 million beef and dairy cattle, 13 million pigs, 8 million turkeys, 96 million chickens, and 30 million people alive in Canada.3
