How To Gain Muscle and Lose Fat at the Same Time
By Jamin Thompson

"How can I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?"

That's right up there with "How do I get six pack abs" as one of the most frequently asked fitness questions of all time.

The problem is, when you ask it, you get all kinds of conflicting answers - even from experts who are supposed to know these things.

So what's the deal?

Is it really possible to lose fat and build muscle simultaneously?

Short answer: Yes, you can gain muscle and lose fat at the "same time."

Long answer: It's difficult and it's complicated. Allow me to explain....

First we have the issue of whether you really lose fat and gain muscle at the "same time."

Well, yes, if your definition of the "same time" is say, a month or 12 weeks. But in that case, you're probably not gaining muscle at the "same time" literally speaking, as in, right now this very moment you are reading this, or 7 days a week, 24 hours a day for months in a row.

The best explanation for what's really happening is that you alternate between periods of caloric surplus (anabolism) and caloric deficit (catabolism) and the net result is a gain in muscle and a loss in body fat.

You see, if you stay in a calorie surplus, it's the body's natural tendency for body fat and lean body mass to go up together. And if you stay in a calorie deficit, it's your body's natural tendency for body fat and lean body mass to go down together.

There may be exceptions, but the general rule is that it is very difficult to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time - the mechanisms are mostly antagonistic to one another. When it does happen, it's almost always the result of "unusual conditions" - I call them X factors.

So what do you think about that? X factors? I think it is possible to build both muscle and lose fat at the same time. Every time I build more muscle, its easier to burn the fat. I don't have to do as much cardio to get the same effects.

The next article I have for you is has some good points but some I disagree with. Here's the article from apell-link.com:

Milk has a great balance of all of these elements that we have covered. Milk includes a high protein, fat and lactose content. These qualities make milk the best thing you can consume to grow in size. Drink milk whenever you are able to, consuming it with ever meal, working to increase your consumption from week to week. Your best bet would be to choose whole or homogenized milk for this purpose, as it has more nutrients than other varieties. Drinking a lot of milk will be apart of how to get big fast for these reasons.

The worst (and most commonly dispersed) advice I have ever heard is, "You must lift more weights in order to develop muscle mass"." This is horrible advice. Decreasing the amount of weight you use in lifting while conducting a higher amount of repetitions (such as four sets with 8-12 repetitions) will maximize the results of muscle development in your body. You also want to do multiple exercises that work the same muscle group. This allows your muscles to build up a higher degree of fatigue. Your size gains will be bolstered significantly while your strength will not.

Lastly, you need to get enough rest. Working out your muscles causes your muscles to bear micro-tears. Eating right and stimulating the right hormone production will allow your body to rebuild your muscles to be bigger faster. Rest is the only way to make this a success. It is important to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep daily. These elements are how to get big fast.

Ok so I agree with the overtraining and sleeping. Those are critical to building more muscles. But is milk really the key to getting big? Whole milk really?
