Pasta Pasta Pasta Trust Me Over Eat The Shit Until It Makes U Sick.fast Weight Put On Plus Healthy And Stop Smoking If U Do And Yr Blow Up Quick
That is a high GI carb. I do not recommend it, unless it is wholemeal, and even then everything in moderation. You must make sure that your macro and micronutrient bases are completely covered.

Pasta is high in carbs and that's about it. Carbohydrates are useful for only two real reasons:
1. Opens up the cells (very important)
2. Protein sparing (prevents catabolism to a degree)

EAT PENUTE BUTTER tons of it... All good fats in it ... every 1 who know will tell u to do this ....
I assume you mean PEANUT BUTTER. I disagree with this statement entirely.

1. There are not "all good fats in it" according to this link from the American nutritional database 10.29g of saturated fat are present per 100g. This fat should be avoided. While I admit there is more unsaturated fat in peanut butter than there is saturated. To state that there is none is ludicrous.

2. All peanut butter expect natural peanut butter is heavily processed with many artifical ingredients added, not to mention salt which has been proven to increase the chance of heart attacks.

3. Peanut butter is rich in fats. Fats are very calorific. 9 calories per gram, as opposed to 4 in carbs and protein can mean overeating is very easy.

4. High saturated fat levels raise cholesterol. Cholesterol is a killer and can also increase blood pressure which is definitely not a good thing.

5. Most diets will contain more than enough fat as it is. Protein and carbohydrates are far more important macronutrients.

Here is a link to data on typical American peanut butter for anyone interested:

P.S. Stick to almonds, walnuts, flax oil and oily fish for fat intake.

OK the worst place 2 find work outplans are online... U need an experience trainer not suck dumb ass who has a premade paper like a real trainer. Have them train u a lil bit ask advice.

I mean the web sites r ok but the PPL i see messin wit the web site never grow and dont kknow how to work out.
I agree wholeheartedly, everyone should have a workout catered to their individual specifications, abilities and goals. Consultation through the internet can be helpful but never copy someone's routine and think that it will work for you just because they're big and / or strong.

Also remember that a lot of the internet weighlifting community are on steroids.

You need fat to build muscle.
Indeed you do, you need at least 3% bodyfat to build muscle. Any more than that is superfluous.

Bad foods ---) FAT + bit of muscle
Good foods --) LEAN + a lot of muscle

It is your choice.

eat pasta and soda it raises insulin which is good. Just keep eating high gi foods before you sleep and in a couple of years you'll become insulin senstive which is good
Insulin sensitivity is gained through eating low GI foods NOT high GI foods.

Doing what you say could lead to the development of Type II diabetes.

All carbohydrates raise insulin. But it is best to keep blood sugar levels stable so as to keep cells open for a long time and to help keep ourselves feeling full and satisfied. That is why complex carbohydrates that are low GI are excellent.

Before bed insulin sensitivity decreases markedly so carbohydrates are more likely to result in lipogenesis - meaning that you will most probably get fat.

In a couple of years Aban will most probably be a fat diabetic. I'm not hating I'm just being real.

diet would be steak,milk and junk food seeing they are supposed to make you gain like crazy and workout i have gym 2 hrs a week thats my workout and climbing 5 flights of stairs 4 times a bastard day..that about cuts it. :s
Steak?!! No wonder your mum is complaining about the food bill. Where I come from (the UK) steak is very expensive. It isn't even that great a food, the protein digestability (measured using the BV scale) is only about 75% and in 100g of steak there is a maximum of 30g protein. Which means you only really get 22.5g protein which is insubstantial. The amount of creatine in steak is neglible unless eaten in excessive amounts. Steak isn't bad, but save it for special occasions due to its price.

Milk is OK but it promotes a huge insulin response, so I believe it should be drunk in moderation. You also only get 20g of protein per pint, compared to 30g of carbohydrates. The usual reason why people gain fat is not due to excessive fat intake but due to excessive carbohydrate intake so this must be treated with caution.

Junk food is not going to help your gains, but it won't adversely affect them unless staying very lean is one of your goals.

None of those foods will "make you gain like crazy". The best food to do just that IMO, are egg whites - they have all the essential amino acids in large amounts and have a bio-availability of 100%. They are also very cheap and quick to cook. YOU MUST COOK THEM, or your body can barely absorb any of their amazing goodness and it can make your body deficient in a certain type of protein manufacture.

Oatmeal is the best carbohydrate source IMO, I eat oatmeal four times a day. It is best to eat it raw, but heating it isn't too bad. Always eat your oats with water, don't be tempted to use milk as I have written about the problems with milk previously.

Fruit and vegetables are essential. They are rich in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that are hard to find elsewhere. Your body has a hard time consuming artificial vitamins and minerals e.g. tablets and getting vits and minerals from food is a much easier task for your body. They also help neutralise acid which most modern diets tend to promote. Here is a link that states which food promotes acid and which foods promote an alkaline environment within your body: http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/bases.htm

Omegas (3, 6 & 9) help speed up the metabolism and have a variety of health benefits. They are naturally found in oily fish (salmon, mackerel etc) , almonds, flax seeds and sunflower seeds.

Eating frequently is a must. It helps increase protein turnover, keep blood-sugar levels stable which will help keep you more full and stop you snacking on junk. It also maintains a positive nitrogen balance which will keep you in an anabolic state (tissue growth). It is also the only way you will provide your body with the optimum nutrients required to build muscle without getting fat.

There are far more things I have to address, but I'll write some more tomorrow.

Good luck Pacaveli-T. I'm sorry if I overwhelmed you, but optimising muscle growth is a very complicated process.
