For some, panic is setting in at the thought of wobbling along the beach with a beer gut or muffin top. If you\u2019re honest with yourself, you should be dedicated all year round, regardless of any holidays abroad. Why not change your body for good and not only impress on your 2 week holiday, but every day of your life!<\/p>\n<p>One very common question we get asked is, \u2018How can I lose fat but also build muscle?\u2019 With this in mind we have gone through our vast supplement range and based this informative and inspiring blog post around them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Supplements of Choice<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Protein<\/h3>\n<p>No stack is complete without protein. Try to consume 2g per kg of bodyweight to reap the numerous benefits, such as fat loss, strength gains and maintaining\/building lean mass. Try <a title=\"Pure Whey Isolate\u2122 90\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/shop-by-category\/protein-supplements\/whey-protein\/pure-whey-isolate-90.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pure Whey Isolate\u2122 90<\/a> or <a title=\"Beef Protein Isolate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/beef-protein-isolate-97-hydrobeef.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beef Protein Isolate 97 (HYDROBEEF\u2122)<\/a> to ensure maximum protein is absorbed with minimum carbs and fat, to help with staying lean. Alternatively vegetarians\/vegans should try <a title=\"Pea Protein Isolate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/shop-by-category\/protein-supplements\/vegan-protein\/super-pea-protein-isolate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Super Pea Protein Isolate<\/a> with it being 80% protein content and highly soluble.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Bulk<\/h3>\n<p>Increasing size is definitely one of the most popular goals amongst our customers. Big isn\u2019t big enough so the use of supplement can simply take you to the next level. Try <a title=\"Lean Mass protein shake\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/complete-lean-mass-gainer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Complete Lean Mass\u2122<\/a> for additional, clean calories without quite as much carbohydrates as a standard mass gainer protein powder. Or why not DIY, and opt for single ingredients such as clean carbohydrates from <a title=\"Powdered Instant Oats\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/ultra-fine-scottish-oats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Ultra-Fine Scottish Oats<\/a> along with a <a title=\"Creatine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/sports-nutrition\/creatine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Creatine supplement<\/a>\u00a0and <a title=\"HMB Powder\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/hmb-powder-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HMB Powder<\/a> stack for muscle and strength gains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Burn<\/h3>\n<p>Burning excess fat can be extremely difficult, especially if you want to shift those final few pounds. The key really is diet, however supplementing with Pro Series\u2122 <a title=\"Cutting Edge\u2122\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/cutting-edge.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Cutting Edge\u2122<\/a> or <a title=\"Green Coffee &amp; Raspberry Ketones tablets 550mg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/raspberry-ketones-green-coffee-tablets-200mg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green Coffee &amp; Raspberry Ketones tablets<\/a> along with <a title=\"CLA softgels 1000mg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/cla-conjugated-linoleic-acid-softgels.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLA Softgels 1000mg<\/a> (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a perfect combo to help burn fat as well as improve overall body composition. Alternatively try the <a title=\"Beach Body Bundle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/shop-by-category\/stacks-bundles\/beach-body-bundle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Beach Body Bundle<\/a> for a simple ready-made stack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s not a quick fix, it\u2019s a permanent change!<\/h2>\n<p>Achieving this \u2018ideal\u2019 body shape is not going to be easy, and it is subject to a whole host of different factors only you can change; not a magic pill or powder. Reality is that Your New Body is going to be very hard without the correct nutrition; eat clean and healthy and steer clear of trans fats and high sugar products. For weight gain simply eat an extra 500+ Kcal or, to lose weight, look at a 500 Kcal deficit. Remember to gain mass you must eat! It is easier to lose fat whilst you are already big, instead of gaining mass and losing fat at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>One final point to make is to remember <strong>resistance exercise<\/strong> is vital to help shape and tone your body, as well as increasing strength and ultimately size. Stay basic and monitor your progress. If you\u2019re trying to lose fat then cardio is fine but don\u2019t overdo it to avoid having a catabolic effect (muscle wasting).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With summer approaching and holidays booked, all of a sudden we&rsquo;re inundated with questions on body composition.
