The Clenbuterol Diet
Clenbuterol is widely recognised for its amazing weight loss and muscle toning effects. While it is true that Clenbuterol still works without the need of dieting, a healthy diet will also help you reach your ultimate weight loss goal in a quicker timeframe. Unlike other websites that sell Clenbuterol, we at Clenbuterol Direct are committed to giving our customers the best and fastest weight loss advice available. We suggest that you read the weight loss information available from this article to get the most out of your Clenbuterol cycle. Surprisingly, the changes in diet that we recommend are generally quite small and will help you cut the pounds in no time. A healthy lifestyle will, essentially, provide you with the nutrients you need, and leave you feeling good about yourself.
Just because you’re trying to lose weight doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy most food. Generally, it is the over sizing of portions that causes weight gain, and that is why we recommend the first step towards a more rapid weight loss is by moderating the size of your meals. Additionally, many dieters have the misconception that eating healthily equates to cutting most foods out, like carbohydrates (bread, pasta, etc) and dairy products. In fact, it is quite the opposite. To be able to lead a healthy lifestyle we need to include all the main food groups into our diet. There are three main food groups, which are:
Carbohydrates (also referred to as carbs) are our main source of energy, and are very important components of a healthy body. In short, your liver breaks down carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar) for the ultimate bodily function of using the sugar to energise your cells, tissues and organs.
Carbohydrates are called simple (monosaccharides) or complex (polysaccharides), depending on how fast your body digests and absorbs the sugar. Simple carbohydrates are easier to digest and are broken down more quickly by the body. They provide a short energy burst and are digested so quickly you get hungry soon after consuming them. However, Complex carbohydrates take longer to be digested. This means that you will feel full for a longer period of time, as well as providing you with a sustained energy boost.
You get simple carbohydrates from fruits, milk products and table sugar. Complex carbohydrates include whole grain breads and cereals, starchy vegetables and legumes. Complex carbohydrates and some simple carbohydrates provide vitamins, minerals and fibre. Products made with refined sugar provide little nutrition, therefore we advise you to limit these products.
Important: Even though cutting out carbs in our diet can encourage short term weight loss there is also the danger of the problems that go hand in hand with nutritional insufficiency. Medical studies have also shown that low or no-carb diets do not generate long term weight loss goals. ‘The low-carbohydrate diet produced a greater weight loss for the first six months, but the differences were not significant at one year.’ — New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 348, Pages 2082-2090, 22 May 2003, Number 21
Like carbs, proteins are an essential part of our diet. Protein is found in every living cell of the body. Our bodies need protein from the foods we eat for the ultimate purpose of building and maintaining bones, muscles and skin.
We get proteins in our diet from meat, dairy products, nuts and certain grains and beans. Proteins from meat and other animal products are complete proteins. This means they supply all of the amino acids the body can't make on its own. Plant proteins are incomplete and you must combine them to get all of the amino acids your body needs.
Proteins also have two classifications, which are (rather misleadingly) called essential proteins and non-essential proteins. In actuality, we need to have both essential and non-essential proteins. The difference between the two, however, is that essential proteins need to be consumed in the foods that we eat and non-essential proteins are actually created by the body itself.
Whether you wish to lose weight or build muscle it is important that you get a sufficient enough daily intake of protein. You need to eat protein every day, because your body doesn't store it in the way it stores fats or carbohydrates. The average person needs 50 to 65 grams of protein each day. This is the amount in four ounces of meat and a cup of cottage cheese.
Contrary to popular belief, fats are also a necessary component of our diet. Please be aware that cutting out fat from your diet is not healthy, and we strongly advise you not to do so. Fat is a major source of energy and aids your body in absorbing vitamins. It's important for proper growth, development and keeping you healthy. Moreover, fat provides taste to foods, and helps you feel full.
However, not all fats are the same, and you should try to avoid (or at least cut down) Saturated fats and Trans fats. Some studies have suggested that diets high in saturated fat increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. According to its 2006 recommendations, the American Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fat intake to less than 7% of your Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Saturated fat can be found in lard, butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole milk and anything that contains these ingredients, such as cakes, chocolate, biscuits, pies and pastries. It's also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin.
Trans fat is the common name for a type of unsaturated fat with transisomer fatty acid(s). Trans fats are created by a process called hydrogenisation, which hardens the fats and improves their shelf life. According to the National Academy of Sciences, trans fatty acids are not essential for our body and provide no known benefit to human health. Moreover, trans fats also lower levels of the body’s HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). Animal-based fats were once the only trans fats consumed, but by far the largest amount of trans fat consumed today is created by the processed food industry as a side-effect of partially hydrogenating unsaturated plant fats (generally vegetable oils). These partially hydrogenated fats have displaced natural solid fats and liquid oils in many areas, notably in the fast food, snack food, fried food and baked goods industries.
“The most effective replacement for saturated fatty acids in terms of coronary heart disease outcome are polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. This finding is supported by the results of several large randomized clinical trials, in which replacement of saturated and trans fatty acids by polyunsaturated vegetable oils lowered coronary heart disease risk.” – World Health Organization, Population nutrient intake goals for preventing diet-related chronic diseases, 5.4.4
Try to replace ‘bad’ fats with oils such as corn, canola, olive, safflower, soybean and sunflower. Of course, do not forget that eating too much fat will put on the pounds. Therefore, we suggest you try to cut out fried foods (especially from fast food outlets), but remember do not eliminate ‘good’ fats (Monounsaturated fats/Polyunsaturated fats) totally from your diet for the following reasons:
- Fat transports fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K through your body.
- It cushions your internal organs.
- It makes food taste nicer.
- It can contain essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are thought to have a positive effect on the health of your heart and immune system.
- It's a concentrated source of energy.
To achieve your ultimate weight loss goal we strongly advise you that your food intake should consist of High Protein, Moderate Carbohydrate and low fat foods. To help you decide what foods you should be including in your diet we have included a list of foods that contain good (complex) carbs, essential proteins and 'good' fats. In addition, to refresh your memory we have comprised a list of foods to avoid whilst on your Clenbuterol Diet.

By now it should be crystal clear to you, whilst you are on the road to your perfect weight with Clenbuterol, the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods you should be eating. As stated before, if you want to reach that dietary finishing line at a quicker rate then changing your eating habits will certainly help. You don’t have to start eating rabbit food, but it is essential that you are informed of the risks of eating unhealthily. Why don’t you try cutting out that take-away on a Friday night, or start rationing your chocolate intake. Even a small change in your diet can lead to wonderful physical and psychological results!
For the Clenbuterol diet we suggest that you eat the standard of three meals per day. Try to eat your meals at the same time each day, as this helps to keep your metabolism at a sustained rate. If you need to snack then please go for a healthy option, like fruit, carrot sticks, low-fat yoghurt, etc. Your meals should be based around the ‘good’ foods mentioned earlier (refer to tables 1-3), and remember to limit your portions. You should only prepare your food by grilling, boiling, poaching or steaming. To add the right amount of protein to your diet (without ‘bad’ carbs) you should use the leanest meats, such as skinless chicken, ham, and beef (without fat). What’s more, you can also eat fish, prawns and pulses to achieve the same protein level. To fulfil a balanced diet with ‘good’ carbohydrates why don’t you change fatty chips to boiled or baked potatoes, and do not forget to add plenty of fruit and vegetables to your diet.
Cravings for ‘bad’ foods will almost certainly affect you, but do not despair because we have come up with some great alternatives for the dieter with a sweet tooth. If you want something sweet, there are lots of healthier options you can choose from. Fruit is an especially good choice and can count towards your 5-a-day, which we should all be aiming for whether it's fresh, frozen, tinned or dried.
You could try:
- seasonal or exotic fresh fruit salad
- a slice of melon
- baked apples
- rhubarb crumble
- tinned peaches with lower fat natural yoghurt - remember to go for fruit in natural unsweetened fruit juice rather than syrup
- low-fat fruit yoghurts - you could buy individual pots, or mix your own using low-fat plain yoghurt and soft fruit
Rather than desserts with cream or chocolate fillings, you could choose:
- fruit flan, tart or pie - the healthier option is pie with just one crust, either a top crust or a flan with a pastry base
- fruit crumbles
- steamed puddings
- rice pudding made with skimmed or semi-skimmed milk. If you're buying it tinned, go for lower-fat varieties. Try to avoid adding sugar, and throw in some bits of fresh or dried fruit instead, such as dates
Rather than having cream with your dessert, which is high in saturated fat go for:
- low-fat yoghurt
- low-fat fromage frais
- fruit puré
- custard made with skimmed or semi-skimmed milk

Clenbuterol Diet
Clenbuterol is well known for it's amazing effects and fat loss and weight loss. While it is true that clenbuterol will still work, even if no changes are made to your daily diet, if you wish to get the most out of your time on clenbuterol and want to reach your goals quicker we suggest some changes in your diet too. These changes are generally quite small and will help you cut the pounds in no time, give you all the nutrients that you need and have you feeling better about your self as well.
It is so true that we are what we eat. Our body absorbs what we eat and uses it in whichever way it can. The are three main types of foods that we take in. All are important and we need to include all of them into our diets on a daily basis. The problem is, most of us have been taking in too much of the wrong types and not enough of the right types. The three main food groups are:
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are our main source of energy (consisting of sugars and startches) and for most of us, make up the majority of what sits on our plate when we have a meal. There has been a lot of talk recently about no Carb diets (eg. Atkins Diet) which are well known for bringing short term weight loss results that have now been proven to be detremental to health, both physically and mentally, and do not bring the long term results that most of us crave for.
Carbohydrates are split into two groups; Simple Carbohydrates (monosaccharides) and Complex Carbohydrates (polysaccharides). The difference in the two lies in the way that our body digests them.
Simple carbs are easier to digest and are broken down more quickly by our body. They provide a short lived energy burst and are digested so quickly that you will find that after consuming simple carbs, you get hungry again very quickly.
Complex Carbs take longer to be digested, this means that not only do you feel fuller, but you get a longer, more sustained burst of energy meaning that it will take longer before you feel hungry again.
Proteins
Proteins are an essential part of our diet. The building blocks of proteins are called amino acids. Proteins are the building blocks of our body and are responsible for building muscles, organs and are also reponsible to strengthening our immune systems. Everybody, whether they wish to lose weight and drop a size or build muscle and get bigger needs high levels of protein in their diets. Proteins are what our body's are made from and what keep us healthy.
Proteins also have two classifications. These are (rather misleadingly) called essential proteins and non-essential proteins. In truth, we need to have both essential and non-essential proteins. The difference between the two however is that essential proteins need to be consumed in the foods that we eat and non-essential proteins are actually created by the body itself.
Fats
Beleive it or not, fats are also an essential part of our diet. Fats are resonsible for healthy skin, metabolism and are also a useful supply of energy. Many dieters try to eliminate fat altogether. This is not healthy however it is important that you know which fats are good for yu and which of those are detremental to you health.
Fats to avoid:
Saturated Fats
Trans Fats (hydrogenated Fats); Commonly found in processed foods.
Good fats:
Monounsaturated Fats
Polyunsaturated Fats
Clenbuterol Diet
To get the most out of your clenbuterol Diet, your food intake should consist of High Protein, Moderate Carbohydrate, low fat foods. To help you decide what foods you should be including in your diet we have included a list of foods that contain good (complex) carbs, essential proteins and 'good' fats. So you know what foods you should be avoiding like the plague, we have included a list of foods to avoid.
