Here's where you can ask.. Hi I'm Lee Labrada, your lean body coach and welcome to this weeks ask Lee. This week’s Ask Lee comes from Rubymar2010 (ruby martinez) QUESTION: What is your best strategy for minimizing fat in your belly, while bulking up your muscles? Also, are there certain cardio exercises you recommend during the bulking phase? ANSWER: Hi Ruby – thanks for writing in with your question. It's not like the old days, when bodybuilders would eat anything that was not nailed down in their quest to gain weight and muscle. Today, the emphasis is on putting on lean muscle weight, with as little fat as possible. Here are some of my best tips for accomplishing that: 1) Consume the right amount of protein for your bodyweight, plus enough carbs and fats for energy. Sounds simple enough right? But what is the right amount of protein and carbs? I recommend 1 - 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight. Sources of protein include chicken breast, turkey breast, fish, lean meats, low-fat cottage cheese, and protein shakes. As for carbohydrates, I recommend consuming between 1.5-2 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight. Good sources of carbohydrates include sweet potatoes and yams, oatmeal, whole grain rice, and potatoes. A hypothetical 200 pound bodybuilder then would consume approximately 200-300g protein plus 300-400 g of complex carbohydrates every day. Divided up over 5 small meals per day, this works out to 40-60g of protein plus 60-80 g of complex carbohydrates at each meal. 2) Eat 5-6 small meals per day and don't overeat at each meal. By breaking up your caloric intake over several meals during the day, you won't overload your digestive system, nor put on unwanted fat, as long as your calories don't exceed your caloric breakeven point. Smaller meals also have a smaller impact on insulin release. Insulin is a powerful hormone, and while it is useful, an excess can cause fat storage. 3) Always combine protein and carbs at meals. Don't eat carbs by themselves. When protein and carbohydrates are combined, the rate at which the meal is broken down and converted to energy is slowed down, yielding longer lasting energy with less of an impact on insulin. Carbohydrates eaten by themselves, on the other hand, can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar, which may spike insulin. 4) Simple carbs such as fruits and certain cereals should be consumed only right after the work out. Eat complex carbs for the rest your meals. The insulin spike that comes with the simple carbohydrates, is useful right after the work out, because it is this insulin that drives blood sugar and amino acids into muscles to start the recovery process. At all other times, you want the slow energy release of the complex carbohydrates. And finally... 5) Do Cardio 4-5 times per week to burn off excess fat and to promote recovery. It may seem counter-intuitive to do cardiovascular exercise at a time that you're trying to put on bodyweight, but cardio has actually been shown to promote recovery, by improving circulation. Additionally, the aerobic exercise helps to burn off excess calories that could lead to fat accumulation. I personally prefer the exercise bike or steps for cardio. Ruby I hope that this gives you an idea of things you can do to minimize fat when you're going through a muscle gaining phase and want to minimize belly fat.
