Frequently Asked Questions
I would to add some muscle mass to my body. How should do this?
The best way to build muscle is a combination of lifting weights and eating a lot. However, keep in mind that when you first start to exercise, you may become hungrier than usual. You must increase the amount of food you you're your caloric intake, since your new habit of exercise is increasing your DCE, your caloric expenditure. If you want to build muscle, you have to have a positive balance. Thus, your output of calories are increasing, so your input has to increase with the output, plus a little more to result in a positive balance. In conclusion, you would need to eat a lot more, in addition to your exercise regimen.
I've been training to build muscle for almost a year. As you said, I grew hungrier and I ate more, and I gained muscle. However, after some time into my training, my muscle building has come to a stop. What's going on?
Your experience is most likely a result of your training program. If you have been repeating the same types of exercises for some time, I recommend changing the exercise type, since your body is adapting to the repetitions of the same exercise. Try to mix up the exercises and it might help. In addition, if your body weight remained stable for the past few months, you are in a neutral caloric balance. To build more muscles, I suggest increasing your food intake a little and you might just start to build muscle again. If you don't, and even gain some fat, the problem probably lie in the program by which you train.
No matter how hard I train, I don't think I'm gaining muscle mass. My gym trainers have said that I may be a "hard gainer". Could this be the reason behind it?
Yes, it's a possibility. If you are very lean and don't gain or lose weight easily, you have a body type that some may consider a "hard gainer". This type usually means high metabolism, so you'll want to eat some more to offset that metabolism. I suggest you increase your food consumption and keep exercising.
I want to burn fat, but there are so many ways. What do you suggest?
To be very brief, you need to exercise and reduce your food consumption somewhat. Exercise is going to increase your calorie usage, leading to a negative caloric balance, and you can further lower that balance by decreasing your calorie consumption. However, take caution when burning fat. A good rate of weight loss is about 1 to 2 pounds or 1 % of your body weight per week. If you're losing more, then might be losing some muscle mass too, and not just fat. Remember, keeping muscle mass is important because in the long run, more muscle means a higher resting metabolic rate, and a higher calorie expenditure.
