5 Ways to Build Muscle While Dieting
Just
because you are currently dieting does not mean that you can’t build muscle at
the same time. In fact, by dieting at the same time it will leave you with a lean
muscular look. Here are five tips to help you continue to build muscle even
while you are counting your calories.
Increase Protein
Protein
will build muscle when you combine it with strength training. Plus, when you
eat high protein foods, it will leave you feeling full longer. There is a
reason that you can eat a whole bag of chips and still feel hungry but one lean
chicken breast will leave you satisfied for hours.
Do HIIT Training
Long
distance cardio does attack fat and burn calories, but it will also burn away
muscle tissue as well. This is the last thing you want to do as muscle is hard
to come by. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is all about performing
cardio for a short amount of time at high intensity. This type of cardio will
only attack your fat and leave your muscle on your body.
Keep Up Your Strength Training
Dieting
alone is not the best way to achieve your weight goal. Include it with strength
training and you can build muscle and lose weight at the same time.
Get the Proper Rest
You
should be shooting for eight to nine hours of rest a night. Your muscles will
repair themselves after strength training and grow slightly larger during this
time.
Try to Lift Heavier
Heavier weights equal bigger muscles over time. If you want to increase muscle mass, you must lift heavier. When you are restricting calories, you might not feel you have the strength to do so. If you have to, simply take longer between sets to give yourself a rest when needed.
