| Finding a great female bodybuilding diet can be an overwhelming process. The 99% of the information that is available is designed for men and men only. Female bodybuilding is something very new and still quite small on a national scale. When it comes to men and bodybuilding, they have a much easier time, since they produce high amounts of testosterone. That doesn’t mean women can’t put on muscle, it just means that more work with correct information is what is need to get a proper female bodybuilding diet.
The first no-no is the trainers at your local gym. I’m not trying to pick on these people, but their main area of expertise is general information. They’re out to give general information to general people at the gym. As a female bodybuilder, you’re not trying to do something that the general person is doing. As well, these trainers are free, and as you’ve probably heard before, there is no free lunch. All they’ll teach you to do is tone up your body, not bodybuilding.
The first thing you need to do is take a look at the credentials behind the information you’re getting. If this person hasn’t worked with bodybuilding for women in the past, you’re probably going to be mislead. They’ll just try to wing it and give you information designed for a man. In the process they make some money, you waste time and lose your money.
What you’ll want to do next is find out some basic knowledge on female bodybuilding diets. If you don’t know the basics, these people will take advantage of you just like a used car salesman. The basics include spreading your meals out over your day. Eating a small portioned meal every 2-3hrs, eating breakfast, getting 8-9hrs of sleep every night, etc. If they’re telling you to do anything that contradicts these basic elements, you need to drop their service or product.
Finally, remember that you’re looking to buy someones information. You don’t necessarily have to buy their time. If you get a personal trainer that physically comes to the gym with you, you’ll be paying big money for that person. To be truthful you’ll never really need to have someone to come to the gym with you unless you need your butt kicked. It’s much cheaper and easier to get a book. If you have the will to apply it, than buying someones time is just stupid. When I got started out, I picked up a copy of Iron Dolls: Female Bodybuilding Secrets Revealed. I tried it out for a while to test the grounds, and I started to do great. I was putting on over 8lbs of lean mass a month. I experimented with an actual personal trainer that cost $50/hr. He was telling me to do things that contradicted the book and I found myself only gaining around 1-2lbs a month. I dropped that personal trainer like a sack potatoes and went back to the philosophy in that book.
With these steps it should be much easier to find a female bodybuilding diet that you can follow and have great success with. |
