The world of bodybuilding, losing AND gaining weight is such a tricky thing because so many people do not know where to start, what to do, how to do it, and what works and what doesn’t.

Especially in this day and age where most people do not talk about how they do certain things and how they achieve their goals; everything is kept a ‘secret.’

And then there are all those adverts and infomercials trying to sell us the latest supplement pill, or the latest piece of fitness equipment which is going to help us lose weight with only ten minutes a day.  BUT WAIT there’s more!  Yes there is more, most of these products do not work nearly as good as they claim to.  They are in business to make money, so obviously they will try to market their product as best as they can in order to sell and make a profit.  Anyone can claim their product is the best on the market without having to back it up and prove it.

Then many people look to other means in hope of receiving some form of ‘help’ in achieving their ideal body, in order for them to put the least amount of effort into it, i.e. a shortcut.  For example, a lot of people ask me about certain supplements and if they will work, and how long will it take to see a difference? Or what is the best supplement to help me lose weight quickly?  Or even how do I get big, I eat so much and gym so hard but nothing.  Many times these statements are backed up by very poor eating habits and minimal training intensity and duration.

Now for the moment you have all been waiting for.  The BIG secret to losing, or gaining weight.  Yes it is FINALLY here!

There is NO secret!  No secret pill, no secret machine, nothing.  If you want something good you have to be prepared to put in the time and effort to get it.

Changing your body takes a commitment from you; you need to make the decision and start with the way you eat and the way you train.

The secret, is it takes TIME and CONSISTENCY.  The secret is boring, not something you want to hear, but there you have it, it is what it is.

Your diet is one of the most important factors in determining how you look and feel.  Yes it will take some practice and research to find out what the right foods are and what is the best way to train, but it will be worth it and will teach you a great deal.  Your diet needs to be sorted out first before you should even look to supplements or anything else because you can make tremendous changes in your body with just controlling what you eat.

Let’s quickly use a simple example.  When building a house, you cannot just start building the walls and putting the windows and the nice fancy cabinet finishes on the inside before you have built a nice solid foundation beneath everything.  This is the same when it comes to fitness.

Your diet, training and rest are the foundation you need to build your body.  Thus we can see how vital these are.  Even with anabolic steroids, if taken without eating sufficiently and training properly, you can expect to see very small results.

So start focusing on good old natural food and maintaining a constant intense training schedule and forget about all the hype surrounding these so called ‘magic’ pills and equipment.
