50-20-30 Gain Muscle-Lose Fat Diet

Goal: The goal of this program is to improve your body composition. That means you are going to improve your muscle-to-fat ratio. Beverly’s 50-20-30 nutrition system helps you maintain and gain lean muscle while you reduce fat at the same time. We call this your net body composition change.

Strategy: The key to gaining muscular size and density while losing excess fat is through a specialized nutrition program with the emphasis on the correct ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. However, the correct ratio is not enough. You also need to eat the correct types of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. This is an area where many (who know something about nutrition) go wrong. They eat the correct ratios, but the wrong foods.

Another area where things can go wrong is your choice of supplements. In this program we are going to stick to a proven, time tested supplement formula. We’ll give you some prioritized options so that you can stay within your budgetary boundaries, but we won’t recommend what’s cheapest, instead we’ll recommend the supplements that will give you the most value in terms of results.

The most important measure of this program is not the total amount of lean muscle you gain (for this you’d use our off-season bodybuilding nutrition program) or how many total pounds of fat you lose. Your net body composition change (NBCC) is what counts. Your NBCC is calculated by adding together the pounds of lean mass you gain and the pounds of fat you lose. If you gain four pounds of lean mass and lose five pounds of fat your net body composition change is nine pounds. (And that will make a tremendous improvement in your physique.). The recommended supplement program will improve your results in NBCC by another 30%.

You should set a realistic goal for your NBCC over the next six weeks to three months that you will be on this program. One-half to one pound NBCC per week is excellent progress.

The 50-20-30 Gain Muscle – Lose Fat Nutritional Program

You have to take a disciplined approach and consistently eat the right combination of nutrients and right types of nutrients in order to add quality muscle and improve your body composition as you slowly reduce your body fat percentage. A proper nutritional regimen should consist of three basic food types (macronutrients) in the following proportions.

Protein
Your total diet (including supplements) will consist of fifty percent proteins.
Best sources of protein for building quality muscle while cutting your bodyfat percentage are: lean beef (90% or leaner), salmon, turkey breast, chicken breast, egg whites, fish, whole eggs, and very lean pork. The best protein supplements are Ultimate Muscle Protein, Ultra Size, and Muscle Provider.

Mass amino acid tablets and Ultra 40 are invaluable to make sure that you utilize the protein you eat and they provide additional amino acids you need to build muscle.

Complex Carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates will make up about twenty percent of your nutritional intake.
Best sources of complex carbohydrate for gaining lean muscle while losing fat are oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and all variations of beans.

Low Carb Vegetables and Fruit
Low carb vegetables include salads, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, green beans and just about any other green or yellow vegetable. Low carb fruits are blueberries, cantaloupe, grapefruit, peaches, and strawberries.

Fats
Dietary fats should make up thirty percent of your caloric intake. For best gains on this plan you should really pay attention to getting the right amount and right kinds of dietary fats. Best sources are olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, almond butter, almonds, walnuts, and heavy cream. You should also take an essential fatty acid supplement like Beverly’s EFA Gold or a fish oil supplement.

Free Foods
You can eat any of the following at any time, without jeopardizing your results: Sugar free gum, Crystal Light, diet soda, coffee, tea, sugar-free Jell-O, Splenda, Equal, seasonings, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, salt and pepper.

Free Meals
Remember that this program is designed to add maximum muscular size while reducing fat. The only time that a “free meal” is acceptable is if you have a special occasion like a birthday, wedding, holiday meal, etc.

Beverages
Make sure that you drink plenty of water. If you are dehydrated, you will not burn fat and you can’t build muscle. Water is necessary in every metabolic process. You should drink at least 96 ounces each day.

Other acceptable beverages are unsweetened tea and coffee, as well as diet drinks like Crystal Light, diet flavored waters, and diet sodas.

Regular fruit juice and milk have large amounts of naturally occurring sugar; and although they may be good foods, they may also result in fat accumulation so they are not part of this nutritional program.

Essential Supplements for the “50-20-30 Gain Muscle – Lost Fat” Diet Plan

• The Super Pak contains all the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and micronutrient catalysts you need to support protein synthesis and muscle building. The ingredients in the Super Pak sustain vital metabolic processes – energy production and fatty acid metabolism. They also provide powerful antioxidant protection for recovery, repair, and resistance to illness.
  You should take one Super Pak per day with breakfast.
• Peptide bonded amino acids (Mass) increases the nutrient density of each of your meals to force more muscular gains. Because of their unique molecular structure, Mass aminos provide you with the best form of amino acids (the building blocks that muscles are made of) for rapid muscular growth. 
• Liver extract (Ultra 40) tablets aid in growth, add extra protein to every meal, and increase your energy and endurance.

DIRECTIONS for taking Mass and Ultra 40: Take two Mass (and Ultra 40) tablets with each meal your first week on this plan. Each week add another Mass (and Ultra 40) tablet to each meal. You’ll take three tablets per meal during the second week, four tablets per meal the third week. On week four you can remain at four tablets each of Mass and Ultra 40 at each meal or you can continue to increase up to six per meal if you want to experiment to see how much muscle growth you can get from this plan.

• EFA Gold provides essential fatty acids that support metabolism, improve energy levels, and stimulate natural hormone production that aid in muscle growth and fat metabolism.
  Take three EFA Gold capsules with breakfast and three with dinner.

Lifestyle Hints to Maximize Your “50-20-30 Gain Muscle – Lost Fat” Nutrition Program

1. Try to live a regulated life. Train, eat, and go to bed at the same times each day whenever possible.
2. You must not miss meals. If you do not eat six times a day at least 90% of the time, you will not succeed.
3.  Strive to progressively improve your workouts. Try to increase your workout weights or reps, or decrease the amount of rest between sets while maintaining weight and reps.
4. Have a positive and productive attitude. Read a positive quote of the day, self-help or spiritual literature at a specific time each day. (Sound mind in a sound body principle.)
5. If you happen to overeat at a meal, or miss a meal, do not try to compensate by undereating or overeating at your next meal. Each meal is designed as its own separate entity. It will determine your progress for the next three hours (and your before bed snack can determine your progress for the next eight hours). The 50-20-30 program is creating an environment for your metabolism to gain muscle and lose fat. You should try to make that environment as steady as possible.
6. Your supplementation program can dramatically enhance your results. The Mass-Ultra 40 regime discussed in the Essential Supplements section if consistently followed will provide an average improvement of 30% to your Net Body Composition Change (NBCC).
