Eating Dietary Fat While Bodybuilding Is A Must!

By Ron Stucky


A basic understanding of a daily diet including dietary fat should be a key aspect of an amateur bodybuilders knowledge set. However, I have known several bodybuilders well enough to realize they do not pay this too much attention. They consciously try to eradicate a majority of fat from their diets. To make matters worse, they do not take-in the right kinds of fats, on a daily basis, that their bodies need for maximum health. In this manner key nutrients are not being consumed. Actually, proper nutrition is pivotal due to the intense nature of their training.

There are good and bad fats, and most of us have a pretty good handle on how to tell the difference. Bodybuilders, just like everyone else, need to include unsaturated fats rather than saturated animal fats. It's important to note that many of our nutritional needs like the Omega fatty acids have to be met through our diet.

Collectively the Omega acids are known as EFA's or the Essential Fatty Acids. Wild salmon and tuna are an outstanding source of the polyunsaturated Omega 3s essential fatty acids. Other sources include flax seeds, walnuts, kiwi fruit and certain meats. Mental functions and cardiovascular wellness are supported by Omega 3 essential fatty acids. Important supplements, such as EFA's, have been focused upon because of their importance in regard to hormone levels. This is something that bodybuilders should certainly be concerned about. However, it is also known that essential fatty acids play an important role with bones and joints. To directly improve the mineralization of bone mass, EFA's must be taken as a regular supplement. Our quality of life is, in part, dependent upon our joint health which should be important to everyone, not just bodybuilders. People that do a great deal of weight training put excessive stress on their joints and therefore are very interested in strengthening their bones.

If you eliminate too much fat from your diet, you can essentially decelerate the advancement of your muscles and lower the speed at which you gain weight. The verity was recognized during some research in which the fat intake was just lessened a bit too much. A decline in both total and free testosterone levels was discerned when an unnecessary amount of fats was lowered. The findings were convincing, even though the tests were quite simple. When the test subjects could eat foods again that had fat in them, the testosterone returned its usual levels.

After reading this article, we hope you understand the role dietary fats play in helping you reach your bodybuilding goals. There are many methods and or adjustments which can be made when trying to bulk up or gain. It is interesting that people were often taking the wrong approach with bodybuilding as it pertains to daily fat intake. This information may be old news to some people and a real eye opener to others. We can only imagine what will be discovered years from now. You have to look at the biochemistry of muscle growth to really see the types of nutrients you need to be sure you are getting each day.
