diets are very good for bodybuilders.

start into a diet for bodybuilders (proteins + fibers and others) . Please
could You send me a diet to follow during the week.

Many Thanks

It's funny how the articles from some magazines will use all sorts of
flash to get you to read them, but end up not really giving you much useful
information. Don't believe any title that blares "Pack On 30lbs Of Muscle In
1 Month On A Lo-Carb Diet!We'll Show You How!".
Okay, that being said. A lo-carb diet may help to increase muscle mass
because obviously if you are cutting out most carbs from your food intake,
you will have to get your energy from something else. This would mean the
calories from fat and protein will increase. More fat for energy, and more
protein for building muscle. I've also read a few articles about lo-carbing
and weight training, and there are many different opinions. Some say the
increased protein gives good gains. Others say the decrease in carbs hampers
workouts to the point of not being able to get that last rep or 2 to go to
failure which you need to stimulate maximum growth. You'll have to do your
own experiments.
I weight train and stick to lo-carb eating quite rigidly. So far I don't
see any miracles happening. But, I am not suffering from sore joints as I
was before on high carb diets, so only time will tell if there is good
improvements in the future. Although my answer to your post may not be what
you want in the way of a diet to follow, I can give you some suggestions.
You can improve your health quite a bit by eliminating sugar and pop.
Don't eat white flour products(bread, pastas), switching to whole grains is
better. Reduce or eliminate high starch vegetables like potatoes and corn.
Increase intake of healthy veggies for fiber and nutrients. Remember that
your own experiments will give you the best answers. If reducing carbs too
much also reduces energy for your workouts, you may just be spinning your
wheels. On the other hand, if you are like me and suffer from mild joint
pain, lo-carbing may or may not help you to lift heavier weights. Lo-carbing
can be simplified by sticking to general rules, or can get more complicated
if you want to be more strict with your food. Your mileage may vary. You'll
have to do a search in google for more info on lo-carb dieting, or read the
FAQ which is posted in this newsgroup everyday and contains valuable data
and internet links.
Bodybuilding is all about being healthy and looking good. Eat well,
exercise when you need to, and get quality rest to help insure good gains.
Genetics is also a big factor. The workouts that your body can handle will
not be the same as Dorian Yates. You will also have to find out how much
exercise your body can handle to grow and not overtrain. Experiment with
different amount of sets, reps, recuperation times, and exercises to see
what you grow best with. Beware of magazines and supplements making wild
claims. They care more about making money for themselves than your fitness
or health. Don't be disappointed if your doing everything the right way, but
are not getting as big as you like. Weight training will still help you to
achieve a fit body whether you are lucky and get big, or are more average
like 90% of the rest of us that can not achieve that size without using
anabolic drugs.
The only reason that I'm blabbing on and on, is that, it seems you are
just starting out and need to do a lot of research yet. Posting for a
miracle lo-carb diet for bodybuilding seems to me that you have a lot to
learn yet about fitness and nutrition. Good luck, and good lifting.
