You May Not Be Doing Yourself Any Favors With That Low Carb Diet!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion Bodybuilder
Success and  Leadership Coach

Many  Bodybuilders Don’t Eat the Carbohydrates Their Bodies Need And Mistakenly  Believe They Are Doing Themselves a Favor

This challenge happens  when bodybuilders go overboard eliminating carbohydrates that will help the  muscle-building process.

Here’s the challenge:

“I’m trying to lose body fat so I’m restricting my carbohydrates down to almost zero. The only problems is that I think I’m losing a lot of muscle”

Many bodybuilders who are trying to lose body fat choose to go on extremely low carbohydrate diets. Low-carbohydrate diets can help you shed body fat. There’s no doubt about it. They are effective because low-carb diets can create a deficit between the calories you eat versus the calories you burn every day. That’s the key to losing body weight.

Unfortunately, some of the weight you lose on a low-carbohydrate diet will include some of the muscle you’ve worked so hard to put on—and not only unwanted body fat. You may not be satisfied with how much muscle you need to sacrifice on your way to dumping your fat. You can improve your muscle loss to fat loss ratio simply by making a few minor adjustments to your nutritional habits.

In the past, I too was a big advocate of low-carbohydrate diets. They helped me get ripped–but they didn’t help me protect the muscle I had and you can forget about them helping me effectively build more muscle. A more efficient approach to dieting could have helped me get just as lean and assist in preserving and building muscle at the same time.

Drastically reducing the amount of carbohydrates you eat may not be as critical to losing body fat as you might think. In fact, eliminating carbohydrates at important times of the day may prevent you from putting on as much muscle as you are capable of packing-on.

Carbohydrates serve as an essential part in the muscle-building process. Instead of trying to eliminate carbohydrates altogether, you should make sure you are eating the right types of carbohydrates at the right times of day.

I never realized how important eating the right carbohydrates at the right times of the day was to my muscle-building and muscle-preserving efforts. However, I evolved into an “efficient” eater. I learned to eat the right foods at the right times.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

As I previously mentioned, when I started consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates before and immediately after my workouts, I began to build and preserve more muscle. I didn’t avoid the fat-burning glucose type of carbohydrates like I did in the past. “Sugary” or glucose types of carbohydrates are supposed to be bad for you as a bodybuilder, right? That’s what I’ve read. How about you?

Those high-glycemic, glucose carbohydrates were in my pre-workout and post-workout meals. Eating this type of carbohydrate at these times spiked my insulin levels and helped to force the much-needed protein I ate with them into the muscles.

When you are outside of a three-hour period of time outside your workouts, the you want to limit your carbohydrates to the ones that fall into the low glycemic index.

Vegetables are a great source of these types of carbohydrates. The great thing is that you can eat as much as you want. If I had anything close to resembling a “secret weapon” that I could offer in terms of nutritional practices, it would be to eat as many vegetables as humanly possible every day.

Besides providing an excellent, sustained source of energy, these fibrous carbohydrates allow me to eat a larger amount of food by volume than starchy carbohydrates (such as rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.) and do so with a fewer number of calories.

Eating vegetables gives me more “bang for my buck” so to speak. I can practically eat as many vegetables as I wish during a meal and easily stay within my allowed daily caloric intake. The ability to eat more food by volume is a huge mental benefit when I’m forced to restrict my daily calorie consumption in an effort to lose excess body fat. Just about all the calories in the vegetables you eat are negated by the work it takes your body to digest them. The opposite is true when eating starchy carbohydrates. A person must be very careful not to include too many calories in starchy carbohydrates in his or her diet—which is not hard to do.

Because of the low glycemic value in vegetables, my insulin levels are managed much more efficiently than when I eat starchy carbohydrates. That means fewer “up and downs” in my energy levels, fewer mood swings, and less chance for excess calories I may eat to be stored as unwanted body fat.

Eating vegetables also slows down the digestive process. Slowing down the digestive process will ensure that my body efficiently utilizes the precious protein I eat and depend on to repair and build muscle tissue.

I’ll be the first one to admit that eating vegetables is not nearly as satisfying as eating a delicious bowl of rice or oatmeal. But after taking the time to wean myself off those starchy carbohydrates, I hardly notice the difference.

Although some people believe fresh vegetables are best for you, don’t be afraid to take advantage of the convenience of frozen vegetables. There is only a slight difference in the nutritional values of frozen vegetables versus fresh ones. They are definitely easier to prepare and are relatively inexpensive. Busy people just don’t have time to clean and cut fresh vegetables. Instead of excluding these important foods, just take them out of the freezer and put them into your food container before you leave for work. By the time of your mid-morning meal, they should be thawed. If you have access to a microwave, delicious hot veggies will be ready to eat in only a few minutes.

You Haven’t Put the Effort Into Your Eating–and You Want Results?

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion
Success Coach

So, You Haven’t Put the Effort Into Your Eating Habits  for Far Too Long–and You Want Results Overnight? How Much Sense Does That  Make?

Many Bodybuilders Have Unrealistic  Expectations for the Eating Plan They’ve Chosen

This mistake  occurs when bodybuilders don’t give the nutritional plan they’ve chosen adequate  time to see results before switching to another one or giving up altogether.

Here’s the challenge:

“I tried one of the popular eating plans a  couple of weeks ago—but it just didn’t work for me. It just wasn’t right for my  body type. I think I’m going to start this new diet I’ve been reading about.”

You must give the diet you have chosen your full focus and attention in  order to get the best results. Just about any diet, when implemented on a  consistent basis, will work for you. But, you must have confidence in your diet  in order for you to give it your full focus and attention.

People let  themselves become confused easily and can’t even get started on a nutritional  plan without 100 percent certainty that the diet plan they are doing will work  for them.

With all the diets available, it will be almost impossible for  you to have 100 percent certainty and confidence in the diet you have chosen.  Just when you think you are on the right path, you will hear or read about a new  “miracle” diet. Just when you are ready to dig in and get going on a structured  eating program, a person you know will tell you about all the amazing results  they are getting with their diet—which seems very different than yours. Heck!  Even if your diet is working, you will sometimes doubt if it is working well or  fast enough.

Instead of focusing on the differences, try to discover how  the diets are similar. You need to ask yourself, “What do these diets have in  common?

If you are not getting the results you want with your diet,  you’ll need to raise your standards. You either need to do a “little more of  this” or a “little less of that.”

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Food selection, food quantities, meal frequency, meal timing,  cardiovascular training intensity, cardiovascular training frequency, weight  training, and weight training frequency are all factors that are 100 percent in  your own control. Focus on finding the right combination of these factors that  work best for you. You must determine what you must do more of and what you must  do less of to reach your body improvement goals.

I’ll Turn You Into a “Mass Machine” with This Free Sound File!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I’ll Coach You to the Next Level and Turn You Into a  “Mass Machine” with This Free 30-Minute mp3 Sound File!

Hello  Men.

It’s Skip La Cour.

If you’ve read my articles or have  listened to my podcasts and talk radio shows, then you know that I constantly  stress this concept . . .

Your MIND is your most powerful training  tool!

“Mass Machine” many years  ago because of my extremely disciplined and effective approach to bodybuilding  and training.

I am going to share with you my SECRET that helped  me develop the tremendous ability to focus and execute—and I am going to get you  excited about taking a 30-Day CHALLENGE that will totally TRANSFORM the  way you attack your training, eating, and thinking habits FOREVER!

I was  able to HARNESS the tremendous power of my brain and win six national  bodybuilding championships because:

1. I was able to identify, study,  and focus on ONLY WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW with my training, eating, and mental  habits—and AVOID the useless, misguided, and confusing information.

2.  Then, I constantly “programmed” my brain on both a conscious and subconscious  level to stay completely FOCUSED on what I needed to do to get the job done!

Your IDENTITY is Crucial to Your  Success!

Now, it’s time for YOU to turn into a Mass Machine  the very same way that I did—and take your bodybuilding and training efforts  THROUGH THE ROOF!

“Why Mass Machine?” you might be asking  yourself right now.

Your identity; how you see yourself; how you “label”  yourself; is the most POWERFUL force you have available to you to reach your  bodybuilding and training goals.

Your identity gets you through the  challenging times—and it forces you step up, ask for more out of yourself, and  kick things to an even HIGHER level when times are going well.

MASS: Because you build dense, rock-hard muscle and  lose body fat that creates QUALITY MASS onto your physique.

and . . .

MACHINE: Because you work toward your  bodybuilding and training goals with “machine-like” precision, focus, and  perfect execution of the key daily disciplines needed to succeed.

Think  about it for a moment:

What would a person with the empowering identity  like a Mass Machine do next when he’s laying in bed in the morning or sitting on  the couch after work when he feels too tired to get his butt up and go to the  gym?

Or, when a friend puts some mouth-watering pizza in front of his  face and his next schedule “cheat day” is still a couple of days away?

What about when he has to decide whether he should use the 50-pound  dumbbells or the 45-pound dumbbells during the next set?

Or, if he’s  going to do his scheduled cardiovascular session like he knows he should—or blow  it off?

When you become a Mass Machine, there’s absolutely  no question that you are going to jump up and get to the gym no matter how tired  you feel; pass on the pizza and wait until you’ve earned it; grab the  50-pounders with courage and confidence; and do your cardiovascular training  anyway!

That’s the powerful effect your identity has on your ACTIONS.

Do you need some of more of that POWER?

It sounds awesome,  doesn’t it?

Are you sick and tired of letting yourself down? Are you  starting to get disgusted with all the stupid excuses you are making when you  don’t do what you already know you should do?

Well, believe it or not,  that power is ALREADY inside of you—and I desperately want you to start drawing  upon it NOW!

The MM120 (Mass Machine 120)

I’ve created this 30-minute mp3 sound file with over 120  POWER STATEMENTS that pound into your brain EXACTLY what you need to focus  on and execute to create the physique that you really want.

I’m “in your  ear” with the most effective and efficient raining, nutrition, and motivational  strategies.

It’s a COMPLETE OVERVIEW of everything that I’ve been  teaching you for years efficiently compacted into this 30-minute personal  coaching session!

Here are just a few examples of what you will hear me  say as I COACH you to the next level:

• “You know that training  intensity is giving 100 percent of your mind, body, and soul to every  repetition, every set, every exercise, during every workout.”

• “You get  yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically ready for every  single set you perform in the gym.”

• “You always expect the best from  your efforts—and don’t get discouraged if you don’t see the results you want as  soon as you want. You are patient. You are persistent. You are a MASS MACHINE!”

• “You create a series of daily action steps—Daily Disciplines—that you  can execute every day to get you closer to the body you ultimately want.”

• “You let the power of MOMENTUM work for you—and do NOT keep switching  from one plan to another without giving each one the time and effort they need  to produce results.”

Again, there are over 120 statements  just like these that are crammed into this coaching session!

Here’s the MM120 (Mass Machine 120) Challenge:

Download this file to your IPod (or mp3 player).

Listen to the 30-minute recording every day during your 5-day structured  week for the next 30 days. Ideally, you want to listen to this recording while  you are working out in the gym.

Only listen to these MM120 five  days during the week. There’s no sense in getting burned out doing too much. 30  minutes just five days a week will be plenty of “exercise and practice” to get  these statements into your subconscious thought process and automatically  integrate them into your bodybuilding ad training lifestyle without a lot of  effort.

If you can’t listen to them while you are working out, then  download this mp3 file to your home computer and invest the time listening to  them first thing in the morning.

Even if you get “bored” with this  process, promise yourself to stick with it for 30 days. Many times, we are  getting positive results in our lives and we have no idea where to credit the  cause of those positive results. These MM120 statements will be just one  of those instances.

Remember that when things are going well for you in  your bodybuilding and training lifestyle—and you don’t feel like listening to  the sound file anymore.

Stick with it—and turn yourself into a Mass  Machine!

Right click HERE  to download the MM120 mp3 file and save it to a predetermined folder on your  computer.

Train Hard—and Think BIG!

Don’t Cut Out of All of the Carbohydrates From Your Diet

Start the Recovery Process Immediately with Good Nutrition

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Start the Muscle Recovery  Process When It’s Most Needed With A Post-Workout Nutrition Plan

This problem occurs when bodybuilders don’t eat immediately after their  workouts.

Here’s the challenge:

“I usually don’t get a chance to  eat until after I get home from the gym. By the time I get myself settled, a  couple hours have passed.”

Take Action and Do This NOW!

For the same reasons that you must prioritize eating properly before you  train, you must also execute an effective post-workout nutritional plan. You  should consume a small meal comprised of a high quality protein source and  high-glycemic carbohydrates after your weight training and cardiovascular  training workouts. Doing so will protect the muscle you’ve already earned and  immediately kick the massively-important muscle recovery process into gear.

If you tear it up in the gym the way you like to do during your  workouts, your muscles are likely to be depleted of their valuable protein  stores—even if you eat before the workout. Your blood sugar levels have been  lowered while training as well. When your blood sugar levels have been lowered,  the muscles will have difficulty getting the protein they need to maintain their  size.

I’ve had certified personal trainers ask me why I would eat my VP2  Whey Isolate and Creatine HSC mixture right after beating myself up on the  recumbent bike. “Aren’t you hindering the fat-burning process that you started  by doing cardio when you eat so soon afterwards?” they’ve asked.

I, too,  used to believe that you shouldn’t eat anything for a period of time after doing  cardiovascular training. I must have read somewhere that doing so would cause  your body to stop using your stored body fat as fuel as you intended. Instead,  you would start using the food you just made available as fuel.

You  don’t really burn enough fat at the time you train or immediately afterwards to  miss the opportunity to protect your starving muscles from damage caused by  training.

Effectively burning body fat has far more to do with the  number of calories you consume versus the number of calories you burn throughout  the entire day. You will do a better job of shedding body fat when you focus on  creating the proper deficit between the two during the day with intelligent  nutritional habits.

Dump Your “Old School” Way of Thinking! Eat Before Your Workout

Thursday, July 9th, 2009


By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion Bodybuilder
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders  Adopt a Pre-Workout Eating Plan that Leaves the Muscles Starving for the  Nutrients They Need to Grow

This mistake happens when  bodybuilders don’t eat anything before their workouts.

Here’s the  challenge:

“I never eat before I work out. I’ll burn more body fat by  training on an empty stomach. I can’t figure out why I’m not building the amount  of muscle I think I should.”

Intense weight training and cardiovascular  training literally drain the limited protein stores your muscles carry. Within a  very short period of time after you start training, you’ll be running on empty.  That’s incredibly detrimental to muscle growth and repair. Those harmful effects  are magnified the more intensely you train during your workout. It’s important  that you have an efficiently burning source of protein in your body that can be  quickly accessed during your workouts. The protein source should also be  consumed with a high-glycemic source of carbohydrates.

Training in  general, whether it is cardiovascular or with weights, lowers your blood sugar  levels. When your blood sugar levels have been lowered, they have difficulty  getting the protein they need to maintain their size. Consuming high-glycemic  carbohydrates spikes your blood sugar levels and actually forces the  high-quality protein you consume with those high-glycemic carbohydrates into  your ravenous muscles.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

I  took my nutritional habits to the next level when I started utilizing an  intelligent pre-workout plan. If you want to make sure you preserve as much  muscle mass as possible, you should start eating a small protein-based meal with  high-glycemic carbohydrates before every one of your weight training and  cardiovascular training sessions.

Complicated Eating Plans Are WORTHLESS If You Do Not Follow Through!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Some Bodybuilders Create Eating Plans That Are Too Difficult to  Follow

You’ll see  this blunder when bodybuilders make their nutritional programs far too complex.  They make their diets so complicated that they oftentimes don’t follow  through.

Here’s the challenge:

“I rotate chicken, tuna, and beef every other day for my protein sources. I  alternate my carbohydrate intake to low, moderate, and high levels in three day,  four-day and five day splits. I always eat brown rice instead of white rice.  And, I make sure I wake up in the middle of the night to drink a protein shake.  I have a great plan—but my problem is that I don’t always follow through.”

Take Action and Do this NOW!

Keep your diet simple. Have you ever known people who always asking  themselves “What am I going to eat for dinner tonight?” Some people put a lot of  thought and effort just deciding what foods they are going to enjoy during a  future meal. In my opinion, doing so makes the eating process far too  complicated. The more complicated you make your nutritional program, the more  difficult you’ll make it to follow through with.

Just because a diet is simple doesn’t mean it’s not effective. During the  week, I intentionally keep my meals plain and simple. I don’t get too fancy or  complicated when it comes to eating. During this time, the main purpose for  eating is to grow muscle and keep my body fat levels manageable. If I decide to  relax at all with my habits, it will be during the weekends.

The less thinking and extra planning you have to do when it comes to feeding  yourself properly the better. Try to look at eating as merely a method to build  quality muscle, fuel great workouts, and keep your body lean and looking good—at  least during your work or school week. If you need more variety or flexibility,  have it on the weekends only.

You Already Know How to Eat–Now Start Doing What You Know!

Some Bodybuilders Spend Too Much Time and Energy Looking for the “Perfect”  Diet

This mistake occurs when bodybuilders don’t commit to an  eating program because they’re always looking for the “perfect” diet.

Here’s the challenge:

“I need an eating plan that has the most  adaptability to meet my specific, individual conditions. It can’t be too strict  because I have a very busy schedule. Can’t I get by without sacrificing so  much?”

Stop searching for the “perfect” diet. People are oftentimes  distracted looking for an easier, less-painful diet that requires less  discipline than the eating program they are currently on. If the diet doesn’t  work as quickly or effectively as they expected, they blame the diet—and not  their standards or expectations.

Many diets appeal to different people  for different reasons besides their level of effectiveness. The Aitkin’s Diet,  for example, may seem great to some people because they love to eat meat. The  Zone Diet may seem ideal to other people because they love salads and  vegetables. Even a strict, bland bodybuilding diet may appear to be the best  option to some people because they like the fact that they aren’t required to  make decisions for themselves on a continual basis or because they really enjoy  the taste of meal replacements.

I believe that many people’s obsession  with finding the “perfect” diet has become a huge stumbling block.  Unfortunately, the desire to discover a painless alternative to sacrifice and  discipline that many people mistakenly believe is eluding them prevents them  from even getting started.

By perfect, I’m referring to a diet that  tastes good, allows plenty of food to be eaten, helps you shed body fat and  build muscle—quickly and painlessly. Also, the perfect diet must not be so  strict that you can’t go off it every once in awhile, or whenever you want for  that matter, without impeding your amazing progress. Now, I’m exaggerating about  how accommodating some people hope an effective fat-loss diet will be for  them—but I’m probably not exaggerating as much as you might think!

Take Action and Do this NOW!

As I always say, “God puts a  price-tag on everything.” If you’ve accumulated some excess body fat and  desperately want to get rid of it, you are going to have to pay the price. The  price may be spending a little more time sweating on a treadmill, feeling hungry  on occasion, skipping a few more of those “cheat meals” you have budgeted into  your eating regimen, or all of the above. Whatever method you choose to lose  body fat, there will be some sacrifice, discipline, and pain involved in the  dieting process. I would be lying to you if I told you any differently. Anyone  who tells you otherwise is just flat-out misleading you.

When it comes  to dieting to lose body fat, there’s no substitute for hard work. If you aren’t  burning enough calories, aren’t dieting for a long enough period of time or are  not incorporating a combination of these factors, your diet isn’t going to work  for you. It’s not because you haven’t found the “right” diet for your body yet  and it’s not because you are cursed with an incredibly slow metabolism.

It’s not because you don’t know enough about nutrition. It’s not because  you don’t have enough bodybuilding and training experience. It’s not because you  don’t know enough about the finer intricacies of dieting. It’s not because the  ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat are 40-40-20 instead of 50-40-10 or  even 40-30-20. It isn’t because you are carbohydrate sensitive. It isn’t because  you can’t afford the right nutritional supplements. It isn’t because your body  has hit a plateau either.

If you are carrying more body fat than you  would like, the problem is that you are eating too much food to meet your  objective—period. You must either eat less food or lower your standards for what  you expect.

If you want to build high-quality muscle, then you must back  up your efforts in the gym with frequent meals that include a good source of  protein. You need to eat those meals on a consistent basis to see results.

To build high-quality muscle, you must eat the right amount of calories  spread out evenly throughout the day. Those calories need to be allocated evenly  in smaller, more frequent meals. And, all of those meals must be in the proper  ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to build muscle and lose body fat. You  must follow these basic eating principles on a consistent basis to produce  results.

Sorry . . . The TRUTH Is That You Can’t Lose That FAT Because You Are Eatin

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Many Bodybuilders Fail To Understand the Simple  Mathematics of Calorie Consumption

This oversight happens when  bodybuilders don not understand that they must burn more calories than they  consume everyday when they want to lose body fat.

Here is the challenge:

“All I eat is chicken breasts, broccoli, brown rice and drink water but,  no matter what I do, I can’t get rid of this darn body fat.”

It does not  matter if all the food you eat is healthy, wholesome, or “clean” food. The total  amount of the food you eat—no matter what kind of food that is—must add up to be  lower than the number of calories your body efficiently burns each day.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

The basic rule of weight  management is you must burn more calories than you consume each day; each week;  and each month if you want to lose weight.

If you want to build more  muscle and gain quality weight, then you must strategically eat more food than  you burn off each day; each week; and each month.

But, unfortunately,  you cannot just stop eating and expect to lose body fat and you cannot just  start eating like crazy if you want to gain quality weight.

You must eat  the right amount of calories spread out evenly throughout the day. Those  calories need to be allocated evenly in smaller, more frequent meals. And, all  of those meals must be in the proper ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to  build muscle and lose body fat. You must follow these basic eating principles on  a consistent basis to produce results.

Proper Use of a FORK Might Be What You Need to Focus On More Than a DUMBBEL

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Many Bodybuilders Do Not Put A High Enough Priority On Good Eating  Habits

You’ll witness this problem when bodybuilders put almost all of their focus and effort into the way they train in the gym and very little on the way they eat.

Here’s the challenge:

“I don’t know why I’m not growing. I train harder than everyone else in my gym. No one works harder than me. Ask anyone! It’s frustrating to see people who don’t train nearly as hard as I do build more muscular and leaner bodies than mine!”

Do you see people who train like animals in the gym but their physiques simply don’t reflect their efforts the way they should?

Take Action and Do This  NOW!

When it comes to weight training, they have learned and applied all of the most effective training programs, theories in exercise execution, and repetition range. They even know what the best exercise equipment is and why.

But when it comes to nutrition, they openly admit that they don’t know as much as they should. They’ll honestly reveal that they don’t even follow through with what they do know. For whatever reasons, they don’t mind being deficient in this critical component of the physique-enhancing process. Is it because they assume they can make up for poor eating habits with superhuman training efforts in the gym? If so, that’s an incorrect assumption.

If you want to produce high-quality muscle and maintain lower body fat levels from the time and effort you invest in training, you must feed yourself properly. Your nutritional habits—not how you train in the gym—have the greatest impact on the development of your physique. Many experts feel the way you eat accounts for as much as an astonishing 80 percent of the way you look. From my experiences, this figure is surprising accurate. If you want an impressive muscular body, you are going to have to pay close attention to what you are eating.

In fact, if I was faced with the dilemma of choosing between training or eating properly as my only vehicle to look and feel my very best, I would choose to eat properly. Sound nutrition is that important to your bodybuilding efforts. A heavy emphasis needs to be placed on studying winning nutritional strategies and executing those strategies on a consistent basis.
