One method that people follow when they are in a hurry to build muscle is to go on a muscle building diet. In the worst cases, they consume protein far in excess of what they need, badly skewing their diet. This can lead to accumulation of urea in your body which can potentially damage your kidney function. Proteins need not exceed 15% of the total meal in a muscle building diet.
When people desire to build muscle mass quickly they tend to eat lots of food. It is true that you need extra calories to build muscle mass if you have been exercising, but it has to be only 500 calories per day over their normal consumption. People can consume up to a 1000 calories extra in their enthusiasm to bulk up. This makes them put on fat in addition to muscle.
There is another drawback to bulking up too fast by going on a very high calorie diet. Your body becomes big faster than your skin can stretch to accommodate it. This causes unsightly stretch marks to form on your skin, when it is stretched beyond its elasticity. Even though they pose no threat to your health, stretch marks do not look very nice and will remain permanently on your skin.
