Let me first say that we’re not talking about getting shredded for the stage when you’re a few weeks out from a bodybuilding competition; that’s a different ball game altogether. What we’re talking about is dropping your body fat to a healthy level to where you can see the muscle that you have. You want to see some striations and you want to be ripped to some extent. You certainly don’t want to be one of those weight lifters, strong or not, with a gut hanging over your pants. Your diet is the key element that will separate you from them.

To build muscle and to get stronger you need plenty of quality protein. Anywhere from one gram to one and a half grams of protein per day per pound of bodyweight is a good rule to stick with. I’m not going to argue the low carb versus no carbs versus high carbs and so forth. It’s not so much the carbohydrates, it’s how much and the types of carbs you’re putting into your body. A solid plan to follow is a one to one ratio of protein and carbs. So if you eat a meal with 45 grams of protein, you shouldn’t have any more than 45 grams of carbs. The types of carbs should not be filled with sugar or from processed foods. They should come from sources such as whole grain foods, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, fruits, and vegetables.

You also need healthy fats. Egg yolks, almonds and other types of nuts, olive oil and flaxseed oil are a few examples. The important thing to remember is to stay away from trans fats and don’t get too much saturated fat in your diet. For the sake of simplicity, take in a little fat each meal and supplement with flaxseed or fish oil. A good example is if you’re eating eggs, cook six to eight egg whites and one or two whole eggs. I use eggs as an example because whole eggs are loaded with vitamins, nutrients and amino acids.

Obviously training intense with heavy weights reaching muscle overload is a no-brainer for building muscle. Cardio training comes into play as well. This diet portion is imperative though if you want to grow and drop body fat at the same time. I personally have started eating chicken breasts (2 at a time), tilapia fillets (2 at a time), eggs, milk and protein shakes for my sources of protein and have not let my carb intake go too far over my protein intake, getting those from the carb sources listed above. I usually get enough healthy fats from whole eggs, milk, peanut butter and I also supplement with flaxseed oil. I was in fear of my strength going down but I’ve actually gotten stronger and leaner over the past couple of weeks while implementing this meal plan. As for cheat meals, save them for the weekend, or just pick one or two days a week to have a meal or two that may not necessarily fall into the diet plan, such as pizza; my personal favorite.

Do you intend to learn effective and natural ways about how to fix premature ejaculation? You are not alone. It is a fact that numerous men out there are also suffering from this condition. Some would be vocal and open when finding solutions, while a more significant number of others decide to remain silent due to fear of embarrassment.

Just like in all other problems and conditions, it is just right to first know more about the potential causes of your premature ejaculation condition. Be reminded that it is not a disease. Here are five of the most common and identified possible roots of the problem.

Root Cause # 1

First is genetics or a man’s genes. The male body is naturally programmed to perform sex for reproduction. Scientists explain that this is one reason why men’s bodies usually intend to make procreation as efficiently as it could. Your body may intend to ensure that your genes would be carried down to offsprings through the years. Thus, your system could be prompted to reach sexual climax more quickly.

Root Cause # 2

Second is frequent masturbation especially during the teen years. Your body may have learned to rewire for a quick response. Besides, when you were in your adolescent years, you surely have done it as quickly as you could due to fear of being caught. There are studies that have found that excessive indulgence in the self-pleasure activity could lead to premature ejaculation.

Root Cause # 3

Third is a problem about sexual intensity. Arousal and sexual stimulation could just be too much for other men to handle. Thus, to some, there is no way to stop once they start into the act. Being overly excited is another related factor. Do you remember a famous scene in the teen flick ‘American Pie’? The main character, a teenager, reached his orgasm even before the sexual act was consumed due to too much excitement.

Root Cause # 4

Fourth could be a man’s lack of knowledge about his body. Some scientists assert that any man could learn how to fix premature ejaculation after fully understanding the process of male sexual orgasm. Perhaps, such understanding would open your eyes about PC muscles so you could exercise and control your own.

Root Cause # 5

Lastly, the problem could be an issue of sensitivity. This could be related to the third factor. If you usually feel overwhelmed that you tend to lose control during the sexual act, you could experience premature ejaculation. One good news to all men who suffer from the condition is that there are natural, safer, easier, and practical ways on how to fix premature ejaculation.

     Emotional Compatibility
     A Capricorn man, belonging to the earth element and born between the period of December 22nd to January 19th, will almost never be caught cheating his partner. He too, ranks pretty high in the list of jealously possessive partners. Naturally, this will seldom allow the innately suspicious instincts of possible unfaithfulness to surface in a female Scorpion, allowing her to love and trust him with all her sincerity and passion and boosts the development of a healthy relationship between the two.

     Capricornian men are known for their ambitious traits and their immense abilities to endure monotony and difficult situations during their struggling days. Scorpio women simply adore this trait in these men. They too, tend to give that unnecessary luxury a miss when they need to support their husbands or partners in their attempts to harness success and power. This again works in their favor.

     A Scorpio woman and Capricorn man are generally compatible on the emotional plane. The complement each other in multiple ways. A Capricorn is extremely possessive and responsible towards his parents and siblings and that sometimes includes their decision to exclude marriage from their cards. If such a Capricorn guy finds a Scorpion girl, then he shall be showered with all the love, affection and support that is usually believed to exist between married people. A female Scorpion doesn’t need that tag announcing ‘married’ to satiate his guy with all the assurance and loyalty he demands. She is that sure of herself and her individual identity. Both of them are blessed with the human qualities of determination and perseverance. The Scorpion woman is generally aware of her Capricorn man’s secret need to be complimented and she will devotedly play her part to boost his ego. She will happily allow him to sit at the head of the table in spite of her domineering personality. She will make it her vocation to tend to her husband’s happiness and employ her own brainpower and perception to help him in his quest to the top of the ladder. In other words, she will not make him lose his own hues but shall imbue her shades into his palette for him to become more resourceful.

      Moreover, a Scorpion girl usually understands the fragile ego that her Capricorn partner guards within himself. She doesn’t therefore ever wash her dirty linen in public as she knows her husband’s first reaction to an imminent fight is to close the windows in order to keep the neighbors from hearing anything. She may rip the upholstery and smash the mirrors within drawn curtains when her Pluto rage overpowers her, but much in keeping with her partner’s disposition, nobody outside the apartment will ever guess that there was a domestic scuffle at the Saturn and Pluto household the night before. On the contrary, both will shield each other from any accusation in public no matter what their current personal relationship status may be.
