Diet Mistakes by Karen Sessions


Mistake #1 - Impatience

Far too many BB constantly jump from one diet to the next without giving any of them a chance to work. Remember that it takes at least 21 days for your body to adapt to any dietary change, and changes do not happen overnight. Give your current diet a chance to prove itself. Then, if you need to make adjustments, include small tweaking.


Mistake #2 - Hazardous eating

The second mistake is eating hazardously. Did you know that random eating works against you because it does not keep a steady flow of nutrients moving through your system? In order to build quality muscle, your body must continually have a positive nitrogen balance. The secret to building muscle and losing bodyfat is consistency! In order to be consistent, it is best to plan your meals. Pre-cooking helps to take the guess work out your next meal. So this means you will have to invest in some Tupperware and perhaps an ice chest so you can have meals handy.


Mistake #3 - Overeating

The third mistake bodybuilders make is overeating. We have all done that. It is true that many calories are needed to provide energy for training and building muscle, but excess calories that are not absorbed will be stored as fat. Keep macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) in balance, and shock the body every once in a while with a high calorie meal. Eating is good, eating to grow is great, but overeating is unacceptable.


Mistake #4 - Not Logging Calories

Not logging calories can lead to either overeating and/or under-eating. We all dislike tracking every calorie. Not only should calories be logged, but also each macronutrient, the time eaten, and the amount. To properly add muscle and lose bodyfat you must keep accurate records of food consumption. Estimating caloric intake leads to miscalculating, hence, failure.


Mistake #5 - Using The Scale

It is true that a scale is a measuring tool but it is unable to distinguish between water, fat, and muscle. The best method is to track your progress through body composition. Scales are beneficial if used in conjunction with bodyfat instruments.

Bodybuilding is a visual sport so photos are an excellent source to gauge progress, as well as taking precise measurements. Also, having an unbiased eye to provide you with constructive criticism will keep you on the right track. A bodyfat composition is a starting point, and if you don't know where to begin you will just keep running around in circles.


Mistake #6 - Copying Pro Bodybuilders

The sixth mistake made by many beginners is relying on professional bodybuilders for advice. This is like spitting in the wind, as it will only come back to smack you in the face. We have all admired the physique goddesses that take over the stage, thinking they have all the answers. This is true, but professional bodybuilders have accomplished a great deal. They are on a professional level, and there is a big difference between professionals and amateurs. Professional bodybuilders have been training for years, diet for months, and supplement heavily.
