And has it ever added up for him. As a child, Evan Centopani was a big lad, weighing in at more than 120 pounds in the first grade. He was naturally large, but he also grew up in the 1980s, when everyone was following the good ol' USDA food pyramid. That now-discredited approach to food choice encouraged people to eat 6-11 servings of carbohydrates every day while strenuously avoiding fats. "Even as a young kid, I knew I had to lose weight," Centopani says. "But my family was following the food pyramid, so I ate a ton of carbs. I mean, no fat: I totally avoided it. If my breakfast cereal had a million grams of sugar, it was okay, as long as it didn't have fat. Eating this way did work for weight loss. It just didn't do much for my body composition. And I know I lost a lot of muscle." On the other hand, Centopani says, he was lucky growing up "when the WWF was very popular, muscle was cool, and everybody was jacked." Always a big guy, he absorbed these influences and started to build an image in his mind of what his outsized body could become. Centopani wasn't interested in sports, so he started running, and over the course of a year dropped about 70 pounds. He was thin and he was in shape, but he still didn't look the way he envisioned himself. That's when his dad told him that if he wanted to get more muscular, he had to do cardio less, weight train more, and most of all, start eating protein and fats. And once he did that, he exploded—in a good way. "I probably made the most progress when I was in college," he says. "I was very, very diligent about eating and training. I was willing to forgo the whole six-pack thing. I just wanted to be big." Big Man Off Campus Out of college and training at the local gym, Centopani met another very big man, and the two started training together. Eventually, his friend convinced him to do a show. "We were 10 weeks away, but not knowing what it would take to get ready, I said, 'Sure, I'll do it.' In 10 weeks, I went from about 260 to 225 and was shredded to the bone. I suffered. I suffered hard for that show." And it paid off. Centopani won in the heavyweight class, placed first in the heavies, and won the overall. And he never looked back. Today, Evan Centopani is an IFBB pro, a successful businessman, and one of the most creative minds in contemporary bodybuilding. In a way, he isn't surprised by his success. He thinks there's something in his DNA that makes him a builder; a creator, willing to go through just about anything to see his dreams become real. ========================================­===== | Evan Centopani's Recommended Supplements | Animal Fury Pre-Workout ► http://bbcom.me/2kwOFtd - Potent, Powerful Pre-Workout Formula - Designed To Maximize Energy, Focus And Performance* Animal Whey ► http://bbcom.me/2kwOTAE - Whey Protein Isolate Powder to Support Muscle Building* - Loaded with Whey Protein Isolate to Supplement the Extreme Protein Requirements of Hardcore Lifters Animal Omega ► http://bbcom.me/2kwWX4p - The Complete Cardiovascular Support Vitamin Stack* - Supports Metabolism, Hormone Production, And Cardiovascular Health* Animal Pak ► http://bbcom.me/2kwYI1A - Daily Multivitamin Pack for Overall Health* - Supports Rigorous Training for All Competitive Strength and Power Athletes* ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Fitness Apps ► http://bbcom.me/2kwVqv9 Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/2kwYzey Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/2kwQ8jf #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/2kwVFpP Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2kwObmR #1 Women's Fitness Site ► http://bbcom.me/2kwQc2t ========================================­===== | Follow Us | YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

If you want to build muscle and lose fat, you need to prioritize your protein. Learn how much to eat and the best time to eat it! View the Full Article | http://bbcom.me/1NYYNBG Dymatize Nutrition Products | http://bbcom.me/1NkEHPK When I was going to school for nutrition in the '80s, we always recommended lower protein to people. The thought then was that too much protein would be bad for the kidneys. Today, we know better. For people who train hard, protein recommendations are at least double what they are for inactive people. That means that if you're in the gym training hard, you should be eating 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. If you want a simpler recommendation, go for about 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight. If you continue with an active lifestyle, these protein recommendations don't really change. In fact, it seems that we might need relatively more protein as we transition from our 20s into our 60s and beyond.
