*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
As a bodybuilder you lift heavy weights, you do loads of cardio exercise and you should have even cut out the booze. So you ask, "Why am I still struggling for definition?" well the simple answer if your doing all the above is, your diet.

If your muscles are covered under a mass of fat it doesn't matter how many weights you lift or miles you run, you still won't get the definition you want if you don't have the proper diet. Increasing your cardio exercise such as running will help you to some extent and will prevent you putting on more weight, however on it's own it won't be enough, you need to get into a routine of eating healthily. Don't think diet, think healthy lifestyle changes that you make in your eating habits, it doesn't take long to completely eliminate unhealthy food from your diet forever.

Here's How To Start

If you are serious about getting definition and being a bodybuilder, you're going to have to 'bite the bullet' and start counting your calories. Simply workout how many calories you are eating a day and slowly reduce this amount, for example cut down by 100 calories for a month and see how it goes, if necessary cut down further. Make sure you cut down only on the bad foods; as if you are weight training you need plenty of high protein nutritious meals to build and maintain your muscle. Use your brain and use your common sense.

What You Must Know

It is essential that you know the difference between foods which are good for you and foods which are bad for you, most importantly which carbohydrates and fats are good for you and which are bad. Carbohydrates and fat are essential for your body's survival, however they are not all created equal, some fats and carbohydrates are better for you than others.

Carbohydrates, such as pasta are made up of complex carbohydrates which take your body longer to digest and leave you feeling fuller for longer and are low in fat. Whereas fatty or fried foods such as chips are full of bad saturated fats which your body can't break down properly and simple carbohydrates which are digested quickly and stored as fat. So you need to avoid foods containing saturated fats (especially trans fats) and simple carbohydrates, such as chips.

Eat More?

Try to eat lots of green vegetables, as you won't get fat eating your greens, so eat as much of these as you want. They also contain lots of nutrients and essential vitamins and minerals. You should also try changing you eating routine, as many bodybuilders find it beneficial to eat 6 smaller meals a day rather than 3 large meals, as it keeps the body constantly fuelled and you are less likely to succumb to eating bad foods in your break. It will also help keep your metabolism raised, so you'll burn more fat as a side effect, plus you'll have more energy. Stick to your training program and try keeping a meal diary to track your food intake and you'll be seeing your results in no time. Fat burning and muscle building can be really easy if you follow a simple plan.
