If you are interested in Bodybuilding Diet Plans and the answer to the question of what to eat this article is going to be important to you.
Let's start by talking about Americans Diet in general and how it came to be.
As you have probably heard or seen living in America, is that as a country we are getting fat. They even said that there is an obesity epidemic. People have higher percentage body-fat today than they did 100 years ago.
And actually our diet has changed quite a bit in the last 100 years. Even more the last 1000 years. Both Marketing and Consumer Driven Behavior has caused this. We went from eating whole non processed foods to eating processed everything, refined carbohydrates, and sugar loaded food and drinks.
Not only that but out came the most misleading diet which was pushed on Americans from every angle. This diet was also when adopted by the Bodybuilding culture in the 1980's, but was quickly rejected because it caused bodybuilders to get fat and lose muscle mass.
Whenever this way of eating is taught to people, they lose lean muscle mass and higher percentage of body-fat.
It is a called the low-fat diet. It was in the late 70's and early 80's. Out came the propaganda, that fat was bad for us. And that if we ate low fat we would be skinny, sexy, and healthy.
We were told that fat is evil
The news told us that eggs were bad, because it contained too much cholesterol and too much fat.
We were told that Red Meat, and that it collages your arteries.
Everything became low fat and as a result to make up for the lost flavor, our food was pumped with chemicals to make up for the taste. Chemicals like High-Fructose Corn Syrup (American's average a 50g daily consumption, talk about empty calories that make you fat) and other artificial flavors.
We were told that coconut oil and butters were no longer good to cook in. That we should use vegetable oil.
We went away from the bacon and egg breakfast and became a nation of the cereal breakfast which is sugary carbs and milk.
Everywhere we were told to drink milk. Not Real Milk "Raw" milk, which is actually slowly being made illegal to sell throughout the United States but Milk that has been pasteurized and homogenized.
The Milk they tell us to drink is nothing more than a white liquid with some calories, there is no nutritional value.
So to answer a question I always get?
If they (the news media) say it's bad for you then eat it. (note: commonsense does apply here)
But here is who you really want to listen to when it comes to this question of what to eat. It's not the people on TV, it's the bodybuilders. The "Natural" Bodybuilders to be exactly because they know what works, what dies their diet consist of...
Eggs and lots of them
Organic Grass Feed Beef (Note: normal beef is filled with hormones that they pumped into the cows in order for them to grow, go organic grass feed if you can)
Chicken
Tuna
Raw Milk
Cheese
No starchy carbs like (breads, cereal, bagels, pasta)
Tons of Vegetables (Broccoli, Green Beans, Spinach, Asparagus)
Certainly no Junk Food (like candy, donuts, etc)
