Dave Ruel’s Anabolic Cooking is usually what comes to people minds.

Dave’s book is great, and highly recommended, but I also suggest that everyone have their own favorite anabolic recipes, whether you physically have them all written down and in a folder or even bound or stored electrically, or maybe just in your head.

Mine contains a number of favorite recipes from Dave’s book, as well as some of my own.

One of the biggest failures with bodybuilding diets is boredom and failure due to lack of tasty variety.

You and your palate get bored. Having a list of easy foods that rock, anabolically speaking, helps avoid this. Hey, if your body demands nutrients and your mind agrees and all you have is potato chips and chocolate chip cookies it may get ugly. Now occasional cheating is fine, but not more than occasionally!

I always keep good ingredients on hand, as well as a few simple and quick recipes to help avoid the train wreck mentioned above . . .

My most commonly made recipe is one of my omelets, which is simple, fast, and only has rough directions. 3 eggs, some extra whites if I have them handy, and whatever veggies I have at hand. I break the eggs into a lightly buttered non-stick pan, add extra egg white, loosely scramble in the pan, and then add veggies. Depending on the veggies I might lightly cook them first, like the mushrooms and spinach I used today, or drop them right into the egg mixture like the onions and red peppers I often use.

I also have a great Chinese black bean scallop dish that is low in fat, high in protein, simple to cook, and always a hit.

Of course you can’t have fresh seafood just lying around like I do with many other ingredients, like eggs (I get mine from a neighbor, they taste better), veggies (usually fresh, I also have some canned or frozen just in case), beans, tuna fish, and a lot more.

Dave Ruel’s Anabolic Cooking has simple simple recipes anyone can cook easily, and I mean ANYONE, that promote muscle growth, discourage cheating, and taste great. Recipes range from 2 dozen great breakfasts to over a dozen anabolic desserts, and include the likes of: apple and cinnamon muffins, classic Denver omelets, Chicken Marsala, Tangy Thai Chicken, Chili, Jamaican Pork, New England Crabcakes, lots of salads, many types of inexpensive and easy to make protein bars, and much more.

This is a great start, and all most people need, to an Anabolic Cookbook.

You can eat awesome tasting food, healthy muscle-building fat-melting food, that is easy to prepare, and inexpensive.

Or instead maybe you want to eat egg whites, tuna straight out of the can, chicken and steamed veggies, and cheat several times a week and make minimal if any progress? The choice is yours!

Endomorph Diet and Bodybuilding http://www.anabolicmusclecooking.com/endomorph-diet-and-bodybuilding/ http://www.anabolicmusclecooking.com/endomorph-diet-and-bodybuilding/#comments Wed, 31 Jul 2013 03:16:29 +0000 http://anabolicmusclecooking.com/?p=132 Continue reading "Endomorph Diet and Bodybuilding"]]> Endomorphs like myself are naturally large and soft. They may or may not have much muscle initially, but they put on muscle mass fairly easily and quickly. Legs in particular are often naturally massive. Unfortunately endos also put on fat quickly.

I often joke that if I walk past a gym I put on muscle, and if I walk past a restaurant I put on fat – not too far from the truth.

An Endomorph’s Diet is harder to get right than their Workouts!

Two plans ideal for Endomorphs you should check out are:

Although most workouts will work, Endomorphs need to get into the gym as often as they can without overtraining. They generally react well to heavy exercise, but also need to do cardio to keep the fat level in check. It is easy to gain lots of muscle and fat at the same time, and very difficult to lose that fat afterwards so keep that fat in check.

Endomorph Bodybuilder
Building Muscle – Easy, Controlling Fat – Hard

Many prescribe high reps to burn more fat, but what works is going to vary depending on the individual. It’s not one fit for all endos for weight training. Low reps with heavy weights work for me, together with going to the gym just infrequently enough to avoid overtraining.

Cardio like biking and running (not too much running as it is stressful on the body and can help lead to overtraining) is not only good, but usually required.

Cardio at least twice a week, preferably more, to help combat fat!

The problem is most endomorphs do not seem to like cardio, but you can find cardio you enjoy if you work at it.

Despite years of complaining that I hate cardio, I do find I enjoy biking and well as hiking and skiing. Skiing and hiking are time intensive as they require travel for me so I do not do them as much. I also found, much to my chagrin, that I enjoy running, although it’s usually a few months on and then a few months off.

Cardio is AT LEAST as important as your weight training!

You do need to find cardio you enjoy to keep your fat percentage down. Whatever cardio works for you. Do it religiously as it’s at least as important as your resistance workouts.

Enough proper nutrition is far less of an issue with endomorphs than with other body types. Too much food is the issue. “Bulking” is bad because although the muscle piles on the fat also does and then lingers.

Diet – The Key to Endomorph Bodybuilding Success!

There are multiple diets that can work for an endomorph, especially when paired with consistent cardio, and these can include low carb, slow carb, as well as more traditional bodybuilder diets as long as you watch what you eat – quantity is more of a problem than quality, although you want to eat reasonable healthily as well. Once again, you need to find what works for you.

Two resource that can help enormously an endomorph get ripped are:

Bottom line: lots of exercise and don’t eat too much. The muscle comes easy but the battle is controlling the fat, so plenty of exercise of all types and eat well.

Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer by Kyle Leon, a well respected personal trainer, nutritional specialist, and fitness model, is a customized anabolic approach to nutrition based on four patented formulas that took years to perfect working with nutritionists, fitness models and famous bodybuilders to perfect.

A customized anabolic approach to nutrition based on four patented formulas

It’s not magic, it’s science, and when combined with proper weight training will pack on pounds of muscle while minimizing fat.

SMM customizes your nutritional plan based on multiple variables: your age, weight, height, metabolism, body type and training regimen. One size absolutely does not fit all!

Everyone’s Nutritional Requirements are Different

Calories and macronutrients are allocated throughout the day based on when you work out, and designed to optimize intake during the anabolic windows. Similarly, on off days SMM is customized to aid and speed recovery. Sometimes muscle soreness is 100% eliminated!

Food/nutrition is obviously very important. SMM software creates three customized meal plans for you to choose from each day. Since most bodybuilding nutritional and meal plans fail because of boredom and the temptation to cheat and eat something “not boring,” data base of well over a thousand different foods you can use to structure the nutritional requirements for any particular meal!

Don’t let the word “software” confuse or terrify you. It’s very simple and easy to use and also comes with a 100% money back guarantee. It’s extremely simple to get started.

  • Do you want to pack on ripped, head turning muscles, in record time?
  • Do you want to see what it feels like to be in the best shape of your life?
  • Tens of thousands of guys have using SMM.

Kyle Leon put on 21 pounds of pure lean muscle WITHOUT any fat in UNDER 8 weeks!

Traditional bodybuilding bulking builds up fat cells along with muscle! Those fat cells are permanent, and even if you lose the fat make it easier to regain it back in the future.

The four patented formulas deep inside SMM avoid the fat gain, and will unlock muscle growth quickly, safely, and naturally.

Formula One: Sometabolic Customizer: Determines your precise calorie and macronutrient needs for building pure, lean muscle. You’ll learn what and when to eat!

Formula Two: Sometabolic Rebuilder: This is for your off days. Customized recovery nutrition for you!

Formula Three: Systematic Nutrabolism: The key to up to 84% of your muscle growth, this shows you what to fuel your body with during your two daily anabolic windows to get lean and ripped as quickly as possible!

Formula Four: Training Strain Factor: This shows you what your body will need to maintain your new and rock solid body based on your workouts.

SMM is easy to follow and safe, but it may not be for you. It is NOT for everyone.

Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer is for you if:

  • You are serious about being in the best shape of your life.
  • You are dedicated to working out smart and right.
  • You can and will follow simple directions.

 Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer is NOT for you if:

Most bodybuilding diets are fairly bland and boring. Once you’ve eaten so many egg white omelets, bland chicken breasts, brown rice with nothing added, steamed veggies, etc. it is hard to stick to it.

Most bodybuilding diets fail because of boredom – dull, monotonous food.

The temptation to cheat is enormous, and I’m not just talking about the occasional cheat meal! Food should not be boring, dull, or monotonous.

As Dave Says:

  • Build more lean muscle mass eating my beef and spinach lasagna
  • Get ripped eating my baked crispy chicken nuggets
  • Save money with my high protein Granola Bars

None of those sound bland or boring to me!

His book is the results of more than 10 years of trial and error, and 4 years of intensive research.

His book includes:

  • Over 200 “Anabolicious” flavorful recipes, that promote muscle building and fat loss, and  that even a 10 year old can make in minutes

The range of easy recipes that promote muscle building and fat loss are incredible.

A Partial List: Protein Waffles, Zucchini Hash Browns, Banana Peanut-Butter Muffins, Classic Denver Omelet, Southern Fried Chicken, Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry, Beef Fajitas, Grilled Sirloin Teriyaki, Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops, Grilled Greek Chicken, Rosemary Marinated Salmon, Almond Crusted Tilapia, Cajun Shrimp,  Lemon Marinated Scallops, Wasabi Mashed Potatoes, Guacamole, Almond Chicken Salad, High Protein Fudge Bars, High Protein Granola Bars, Buffalo Wings, Blueberry Cheesecake, Orange-Protein Creamsickles, High Protein Chocolate Mousse, and much more.

Dave Ruel – The Muscle Cook http://www.anabolicmusclecooking.com/dave-ruel/ http://www.anabolicmusclecooking.com/dave-ruel/#comments Thu, 04 Jul 2013 00:56:42 +0000 http://anabolicmusclecooking.com/?p=55 Continue reading "Dave Ruel – The Muscle Cook"]]> Dave RuelDave Ruel is a fitness coach, professional body builder, and nutritionist who is also known as the Muscle Cook. He has helped lots of people achieve fantastic results with their physiques ranging from fitness models and professional bodybuilders to regular people like us.

He is a strong believer that bodybuilding and fitness nutrition can and should include a lot of variety and tasty foods. Chicken breasts, tuna fish, etc. do not have to be the mainstay of your diet and it should not be boring or bland.

Even if you can barely make coffee or cook chicken breasts today, Dave can have you easily, quickly, and cheaply cooking delicious anabolic or muscle building meals in the kitchen. Anyone can do it.

Dave is perhaps best known for writing The Ultimate Cookbook and Complete Nutrition guide for Bodybuilding and Fitness,  Anabolic Cooking.

The right foods are critical for building muscle and burning fat, but most bodybuilders cannot stay on their diets. This is no surprise as most of their diets are so bland and boring that they encourage cheating! How many days can you go on egg whites, chicken breasts, broccoli, and similar foods?

Dave was not naturally a cook. When he started serious bodybuilding training he was afraid that anything he cooked would taste like cardboard, and he was led to believe that bodybuilding food was supposed to be bland yet nutritious.

He found a mentor who disagreed with the prevailing wisdom: that serious bodybuilding food had to be boring. His mentor helped him greatly improve his nutrition while teaching him how to easily prepare very tasty and inexpensive meals that are so good that you have no desire to cheat!

Simple tasty meals help you with your fitness goals in many ways:

  • Provide you with superb nutrition
  • Greatly remove the desire to cheat
  • Also they can save you a ton of money over packaged or prepared meals and foods

Anabolic Cooking has over 200 fabulous muscle building and fat losing recipes that even a 10 year old can cook (and very seriously speaking, I have a 10 year who can do it).

There are done for you meal plans, including shopping lists, step by step preparation directions, and nutrient timing strategies.

Nutritional and Anabolic Cooking basics are included.

There is even a guide to eating out and managing cheat meals!

Breakfasts, desserts, protein bars, fish/seafood, red meat, chicken, pork, and more is covered .

You don’t need a fancy kitchen, cooking knowledge, or extra time to cook.

Dave Ruel made lots of mistakes in his training and nutrition over the years until he figured out what worked with the help of his mentor, a local bodybuilding champion, and slowly augmented with his own cooking techniques and recipes.

Dave also is a dedicated Montreal Canadiens hockey fan, and hates tomatoes!

Besides Anabolic Cooking, Dave has co-authored The Metabolic Diet with Karine Losier, The Lean Kitchen Queen. The Metabolic Diet is a fat loss cookbook I highly recommend as takes the same viewpoint that food needs to be fun and tasty, and focuses on healthy tasty foods (a lot of “diet” food is incredibly unhealthy!) with over 250 easy to make Fat Scorching recipes.

He is best known for his Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer program. You may have seen him on the cover of some popular magazines.

Kyle also works with several organizational in the fitness industry. He is a senior product development consultant and spokesperson for Blue Star Nutraceuticals known for their low carb protein shakes and more, and he is on the fitness advisory board for BioTrust Nutrition, whose motto is “Honest Nutrition for your Ultimate Body.”

He describes himself as a hardgainer, who through intelligent exercise and nutrition has transformed his body (supposedly he was called “Lanky Leo” in high school). He stands 6’2” high and weights a ripped 215 pounds, and has helped a lot, as in many many thousands, of men and women transform their bodies through muscle gain and fat loss.

Kyle believes that nutrition and workouts need to be customized for each individual based on a number of factors, including body type, age, metabolism, and height/weight. Although lots of advice claims customization, the advice usually boils down to “do this” and “don’t do that” regardless of your circumstances. Think of all the advice you’ve found in magazines and online.

His programs make customization very simple, based on plugging in some information about yourself.

Here is some advice from Kyle:

5 Exotic Muscle Building Foods that Pack High protein with Low Fat

1) Bison/Buffalo – this tastes a lot like beef but is a bit richer, sweeter, and lower fat. Several of my grocery stores carry ground bison, and I use it just like hamburger. Since it is lower fat, make sure you do not overcook it as it gets dry easily. Medium rare is how I do it.

2) Elk – Elk is similar to buffalo, but less gamey tasting. I prefer elk in steaks and roasts, and like bison, it has less fat and more protein than beef. My local store carries it and there is also an elk farm nearby that sells it. Maybe a bit harder to find than bison but not much, even here in New Hampshire.

3) Rabbit – tastes like chicken, but lower fat. Rabbit used to be super popular but has fallen out of favor somewhat. Available frozen in many grocery stores.

4)  Ostrich – Think red meat, not bird! Red meat that has less fat, calories, and even cholesterol than and turkey and even skinless chicken.

5) Venison – Deer meat is not for everyone as some find it “gamey” tasting but I absolutely love it. Enormous flavor and low fat!

These are great food to try and then integrate into your bodybuilding diet if you like them!
