One of my roommates, when I was an undergraduate, was about as tall and big as I was, but I weighed over 40 lbs more than her.

 

I was so jealous of her, but after so many years of obsessive work outs to obtain our ideal bodies, we finally confided in each other.

 

We learned that a supposedly objective weight is not a good way to judge progress.

 

Using bacon, a personal trainer showed me that muscle generally weighs more than fat. It upset me to know that, after a certain point, I could not lose weight by exercising.

 

My former roommate showed me how she used to get ready for a body building contest. I was shocked to learn that she didn’t include proteins in her diet.

 

She also let me know that she had actually always been jealous of my diet and body, even though I weighed more than her.

 

So how did she gain muscle quickly? You can’t get muscle quickly by consuming protein shakes or eating lots of carbs, but by eating certain foods: buckwheat noodles, lean ground beef, broccoli, cottage cheese, tuna fish, turkey breast, and egg whites.

 

Her muscle building diet would be after dropping all carbohydrates from her daily diet, and creating a need for calories in her body.

 

She let me know that it wasn’t easy, but always ended with good results. Instead of gaining only fat, as one does on a weight gaining diet, this diet allows one to gain useful muscle mass..

 

One may wonder why buckwheat noodles are part of the diet

 

Pasta is often consumed to gain weight, but it only helps one gain fat and adds unhealthy bulk to the body.

 

Buckwheat noodles don’t produce as much fat storing hormones and enzymes. Why isn’t spinach included in the diet?

 

Even though it worked for Popeye, he was a cartoon. It is much more effective for people to eat the broccoli that our mothers always tried to force us to eat as children

 

Broccoli is grown all year long and contains phytochemicals that fight cancer, as well as fiber.

 

Also, the noodles can fight estrogen in the body, which can make the body store more fats.
