Many of you who have embarked on a bodybuilding program recently have emailed me about your muscle soreness and whether that is normal or not.

Muscle soreness is a normal part of the recovery process that begins once you finish your bodybuilding workouts.  Muscle soreness is more pronounced at the beginning of your bodybuilding journey since your muscles are not used at all to lifting weights.  That is the reason why it is of utmost importance that you use the right beginning bodybuilding routine.  By doing so, you avoid getting injured or excessively sore.

There are various types of soreness that you need to be aware of.  The key thing is to be able to distinguish between good muscle soreness, which is the one that indicates you had a good workout, and injury type soreness.  For learning how to differentiate between soreness types, please take a look at my Types of Muscle Soreness article, where not only will you learn about the different types of muscle soreness, but also how to minimize them.

Last weekend I decided to watch the CD that comes with the Get Lean Kit  from Lee Labrada and Keith Klein.  By the way, if you are not familiarized with it, please take a look at my Get Lean Kit Review.

After getting some inspiration from Lee's awesome Mr. Olympia posing routine I decided to watch Keith Klein's nutrition seminar.  This seminar is the best nutrition seminar I have ever seen because of Keith's unique and effective ability to explain nutrition.  In addition, he's not only a wealth of knowledge but he also practices what he preaches.

Amongst the various gems of nutrition knowledge shared in the nutrition seminar, the one that always baffles me every time is the scam behind low fat food labels.  The best way to show you the low fat food label scam is through an example.

Let's say that you have a food that claims to be 99% fat free on the label.  But what does that really mean?  As Keith rightfully explains, all it means is that by weight, the food is 99% fat free.  However, let's say that the hypothetical food contains 50 calories and 3 grams of fat.  If that is the case, then guess what?  Because there are 9 calories per gram of fat, then that means that your low fat food contains 27 calories out of 50 that come from fat.  So if you look at the percentage of fat by calories, your low fat food ends up being over 50% fat!  Yikes!!!  So much for your food being low in fat.  Buyer beware.

This is just another example of how the food industry can use trickery to make you buy a food that in reality is not good for you.
