"Coach.... I think we should quit it with the shakes for a while... I can't get my shirt down!"

I muttered, feeling every ounce of the 40 lbs I'd gained in just 2 months. I could feel the thick, pastelike protein shake churning in my belly, a dull roaring heat gradually oozing from my core, out to my chest, shoulders, waist, legs, and arms. The raw, itching tingle of energy, fuel pumping into my sore muscles up into taut, stretched masses. Despite wanting to play lacrosse, and maybe look good enough to get a date finally, I'd made a mistake when I asked Coach for help. 

I should have known better as I watched nearly all the incoming freshman boys suddenly grow into grunting, sweating behemoths. The Dorms I'd been assigned to just 3 months ago, meant for incoming Science and Math Majors, now resembled a Frathouse. With heaving, lumbering nerds slowly losing interest in Planets and Chemicals, as they packed themselves solid in the cafeteria and snacked all throughout the day. All of us were bulking up pretty fast, and it wouldn't have been so bad, if I was unaware like the rest of the dorm!

Despite my protest, Coach slapped my back, causing an enormous belch to erupt from me. I groaned, my calloused hand going to my gut as I suddenly felt as if I were starving, what little room that belch had opened, now amplified into an insatiable hunger. Coach smirked at me, pushing one of his snack bars into my hand. I tried so hard to shake my head, to deny caloric nuke in my hand, but I found myself opening the wrapper with my teeth, biting into it and closing my eyes as the feeling of hunger subsided. Clach chuckled, putting his hand on my taut, boulder-like shoulder.

"No can do, you know the rules! All coach’s boys need their required nutrition. Don't you want to be the best? You said you wanted this, didn't you?" He said with a sneer, looking my hefty, thick-piled bulk up and down before giving my half-melon sized pec a soft punch, feeling the solid muscle under the layer of fat all of Coach's boys seemed to develop.

By the end of the year, not a single Jock in school was less than 200 lbs. The school had to cut some funding from the Science Department to cover the near mountain of new clothes, specifically shirts and shoes, as none of us fit into our original gear. I for one, ended up an XXL, lumbering around the halls and the gym at a whopping 220lbs. The entire school seemed to reek of athlete, classes with more than 2 jocks, often had some students complaining about the funk, while the girls, and gay guys tried to hide their arousal. My shoes, which consisted of sneakers and cleats, were all now size 14s, with not a single pair in the school less than a 13w.

I tried at first to get used to the size, the weight, the routine of workouts, meals, barely any time for assignments, as the school and Coach seemed hellbent on ensuring the Sports Budget was going to good use. All of us were forced to play a sport, the teams now full of grunting, sweating, aggressive young bulls hopped up on redbulls and creatine. For me, I ended up playing Football. I wanted to play Lacrosse, but coach said I had the genes for some real size, and vetoed my choice. He says by the time he's through with me, I'll be the biggest Biology major in the school. He says its what's best for me but I know why he's doing it. Because I haven't broken down like the others. I still kept my mind, and as long as I have that, the sweat, the meals, the snacks, and the grueling workouts will continue. Coach never fails, some of the sponsors say while they're eyeing us all up and down like priced bulls on a ranch.

I don't know what happens after graduation, but I'm pretty sure Weston Ridgeway, an eccentric foreign millionaire who bankrolls the Football team, has his eye on me. Coach says Ridgeway tends to like his "interns" Big, Dumb, and insatiable... I don't know how long before I fit all 3. I'm already big, and my backpack is full of shakes and snack bars proves I'm insatiable... Coach says he's got 3 years to, as he puts it, "Raise me up good and proper"

Full time barista here I’ve always been envious of the men on stage especially the heavy weights. Don’t want to over work the chronivac but help me become a muscle bull as big as jean pierre fux.

Mate, I understand you only too well…. There are few things hotter than the real heavy beefcakes. I've tried it long enough myself… But I didn't make it either. Jean Pierre is a pretty good role model… But I have an idea…

Friday morning. It's 06:00, you have to hurry, in one hour you have to prepare the first coffee. You don't have time for much more than a few situps and pushups. In the bathroom you have to hurry. You need longer and longer to conceal your receding hairline. You are now 40 years old, slowly you just notice that you are getting older. If you go out tonight to party, it will take you almost the whole Saturday to recover. The cosmetic industry has nothing effective to offer against the wrinkles in the corners of your eyes. And even if you don't need to be ashamed of your body: You won't gain much more muscle in your lifetime.

Shit, at 07:00 o'clock people are already queuing up. You hate it when you can't open the store in peace. But as it looks, it will be 10:00 o'clock, until you have the first moment of rest. In fact, it's even 10:30 when your colleague thinks you can take a break. If you need it, he adds with a wink. You look fantastic today! You take a mineral water and sit down in the warehouse. In fact, you feel pretty damn good right now. You drink the water in one go. You don't have much time for a break. And you have to piss again before the lunch business starts. Your lower jaw drops as you wash your hands. Fuck, what happened to you. There are no more receding hairlines or laugh lines. You look ten years younger than when you got up today. The only difference is that you look as if you'd spent the last ten years doing little else but lifting iron. Your T-shirt is almost blown up by your biceps and pecs. And your jeans look like they're painted on your monstrous legs. How could you not notice that? As you tie the apron back on your way back to the counter, you wonder why you were just amazed. Since your 20th birthday, you've spent every spare minute at the gym, investing every penny you earn in protein and supplements. Hell, if you didn't look the way you do, you would have wasted a hell of a lot of time and money.

The calm in your coffee bar begins to subside again. The lunch business is starting up. There's a beefcake in your line that makes you jealous. Yo, bro! he greets you. It's nice to see that there are real men working here, too. What you can recommend to him. You suggest the protein bomb. A scramble of 10 eggs with 400 grams of chicken breast. He grins and nods. And a liter of still mineral water. The bro shares your taste. While you type everything into the register, he asks you if you're all-natural. Of course you are. With the money for the meal, he slides you a card. In case you want to think about it.

It is 17:00 o'clock, when you tie off your apron. Fuck' according to your watch you have walked 12,000 steps today on the few square meters behind the counter. But it also looks like it's been a pretty good day so far. You're 20 now, and the idea of opening your own café with healthy and, above all, protein-rich food came to you when you were 16. That's when you started getting into high performance bodybuilding. And a place like this was missing at that time. And then you built this place with your mentor and trainer as a straw man. But you can't stand behind the counter for more than ten hours. Even if you are the best advertisement for your products, you have to work out at least four hours every day. Otherwise you don't stand a chance on the big stage.

You might not be one of the big ones yet… But you are on a really good way to get there. You met Jean Pierre Fux once at a fitness fair in Germany. A great role model for you. And he said that at your age he would have been a linnet compared to you. The prerequisites for a brilliant career are there. Enjoy it and make the best of it!

They say it’s really how much you eat, not what you eat. So you eat less. You stop snacking. You count calories. You cut your meals in half. You try fasting.

They say it’s more about diet than exercise. So you cut out pop, quit fast food, eat more fruits and veggies, try this super health food that tastes like dirt. You avoid sweets and processed food as best you can.

They say it’s the alcohol. So even though you don’t drink much, you drink even less.

They say focus on protein. So you buy protein powders, protein bars, protein drinks. You eat eggs and salmon almost daily.

They say increase your water intake. So even though you’re hydrated enough, you drink more. More liquids but avoid the high calories. Try this new zero calorie drink and zero calorie sweetener.

They say oh but you still need to exercise more. So you walk more, bike more. Build up your stamina to go to the gym daily. Buy a fitness watch to closely track your every movement. Run so much you injure your knees.

They say but change up your routine or your body will get used to it. So you spend money on classes for yoga and Pilates, you try different equipment at the gym. You buy hula hoops and weights and restrictive bands to use at home. You look up different exercises to try and do them in the bathroom at work.

They say it’s okay to have some setbacks, just hop back on the wagon! So you do. Every time.

They say it’s your birth control. So you switch to a different kind.

They say it’s your hormone disorder, so you spend money on different supplements and specific diet books. You research your PCOS and endo, start a blog, talk to your physical therapist and doctors, just looking for *something* that will work.

They say talk to your doctor if it’s not working. But the doctor says just keep doing what you’re doing, or spend more money on these useless things.

They say pay attention to your mental health! The scale is just a number! So you try not to weigh yourself as often, or measure instead. You spend money on therapy and worry about getting an eating disorder.

They say plateaus and muscle weight gain are normal. So you keep going even though you don’t think anything is changing. Even when it’s been over a year. And. Nothing. Has. Changed.

They say keep going! But I’m tired.

[lethalrexie]

so a lil bout me if anyone wants to be moots: (i also have a backup in case i lose this acct, i reblogged this post)

you 1,000% do not need to read all of this, however i truly think it is super helpful considering i was raised by a dietitian.

im pro-recovery JUST BY CHOICE NOT FORCE. so PLS JUST BLOCK DONT REPORT. we all have backups and backups for our backups. so it’s pointless. you’re breaking up a community where we get support. so fvck u if u report.

my “rexie guidebook” tips n tricks losing weight healthily yada yada yada is below the cut if you’re interested!

cw: 180lxs 81kg (i know it got out of hand 🥲)

gw: 130lxs 58kg (doing everything i can to get here by christmas)

ugw: not sure, just wanna see my b0nes. maybe 111lxs (50kg)? (gimme that angel number baybeee)

lw: 145lxs 65kg

so basically, if you do these things i can guarantee you 100% will lose weight. if you’ve plateaued, if you’re just starting out, if you’re trying to take it slow after relapsing, even if you’re petite and need a metab boost to start loosing lxs again, i’m not saying it’s good to be apart of this community but im along this ride w ya so. here u go.

1. keep your e@ting window as small as possible aka eat to live don’t live to eat (the r3xie motto 🤪). i’m f@sting minimum 16:8 and i try to extend that. but major thing is don’t beat yourself up if you can’t make it 16hrs and be happy the days you can make it longer!! esp if your just starting out.

2. stay low c@l. i’m trying my best to stay under 500 c@l/day. and consume that how it works for you. if five 100 c@l snacks over 8 hrs work best some days that’s ok. if OMAD works best, great! my mom is a dietitian and i promise, eating a little of each food group (dairy, carb ik scary, protein, veg & fruit) will help your metab which in the long run will help you l0se more weight. sometimes just having one protein bar mid day works 4 me. others i need a full meal. fuel your body or you will burn muscle which leads to organ damage.

3. don’t do LONG term fasts. i’d say up to a week with heavy liquids is okay. and not just water, incorporate broths, mio, even sugar free jello is good (if it’s clear typically it’s ok) but long term fasts can lower your metabolism, deplete electrolytes, and sodium, which long term is going to bloat you, keep weight on (or make you gain it back quickly), and overall make you feel like shit (which could lead to hospitalization)

4. don’t eat refined sugar or refined foods. do literally AS MUCH AS YOU CAN to eat sugar free and whole foods. i have a major sweet tooth so i turn to sugar free jello/pudding, sf caramels, halo top ice cream if i REALLY need it. otherwise i do sweet fruits and veggie based substitutions for carbs. i use cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or there’s these great hearts of palm noodles.

5. eat tons of fiber!! laxatives will help momentarily, consistent fiber will keep your 💩 regular thus keeping your body from holding onto it aka extra lxs. i add unflavored benefiber to a lot of my drinks (the flavored ones have added sugar). i honestly could promise you that fiber will help with shedding !bs.

6. drink as much water as you possibly can. yes you can become over-hydrated so add electrolytes or legit just a lil salt to your water here n there. but your body is going to retain water (!bs), and bloat if you are dehydrated. #1 thing to remember is you are depleting your body of what it wants. finding a way to basically trick it makes it easier and quicker to lose fat.

7. stay distracted! discipline and hunger may hurt now, regret and guilt are going to hurt 50x worse later. a grumbly tummy is not worth it. get some motivational phrases, tactics, distractions, that work for you and RELY ON THEM. water, i use mio in mine when i’m desperate, gum, diet soda, bubbly water, reading, tv, ANYTHING. i have other reblogs with some good motivational tactics. i also look at th!nspø as well as pics of my own body multiple times per day to keep me on track. YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE MOTIVATED SO YOU MUST BE DISCIPLINED. i repeat that to myself 100000 times a day.

8. incorporate foods/drinks that speed up your metab. coffee, green tea, spicy foods (pepper, cayenne pepper), cinnamon, B12 there’s sooo many. and this goes hand in hand with making sure you’re getting your vitamins. picking up a general multivitamin will help make it so your body doesn’t want to cling onto every last cal it’s fed.

9. exercise if you are mentally & physically able to. i have some other limiting factors which make me unable to go to the gym or get as many steps in as id like. an avg day is 2k-5k steps for me rotting on the couch. i PROMISE like 100% money back guarantee (srry bad joke i swear im not a damn ana coach 🙄) your diet is 1,000,000x more important than any exercise you’re going to get in. exercise will help with toning so i try to get some laying ones done on the couch but dude you burn calories just existing. so if you eat lower than that which is 1k-2k (you can look it up it’s your TDEE) you will lose weight. it may be slightly slower than if you walked 20k steps/day or worked out 5 hrs every day but give it time.

literal str8 up proof of this^^^ is my father. he’s a gym junkie like going every morning at 4am (insanity but not my kind), but was eating a lot, and garbage. high carb and sugar intake. and even though he was working out A TON with a lot of steps/day he was gaining fat. he came to me and i told him str8 up to eat less and stop treating his body like a dumpster. eat healthier. homie is shedding lxs.

so besides all that, if you wanna be moots ill probs just vent and post th!nspø

SORRY IM A CERTIFIED YAPPER

[shesbackagain]

Omg !! Thank you thank you thank you!! For answering! You are such an Angel!😭🩷🩷! When I ask most girls, they don’t reply 😭! So thank you so much!

I have an okay butt! But only due to genetics too🥲(thank you family 🫶🏾) ! But lately, it’s been looking a little less firm. So I’ve been working out since august of last year! And finally! I’m seeing some progress! Barely you know. It’s taken me on such a roller coaster of emotions and self doubt if I should even go to the gym 😭 but thank goodness I did not give up! I’ve been waking up at 5 am to go!! Changing my eating habits, and eating less processed foods/ incorporating a bit of protein! And it’s finally paying off 😭!

So! When I stumbled upon your blog and absolutely wow! You are beyond inspiring! You are so pretty!😭🩷. (Please I’m not a creep, I swear they’re compliments 😭) like your cake is so firm and perky, and lifted! And the shape is just wow! Like my mouth dropped when I saw your pictures! You are so so beautiful! ✨.

My upper body isn’t the best either 😅🥲. But i prioritize it just because I have too😭. But I’ll incorporate more of the hip abduction/adduction, and hyperextension!! I usually avoid those because I’m so shy to use the machines 😭😂. Like I usually grab my weights and bar and go into a little corner of a room! But I’ll give them a try!💪🏼.

Same here I don’t have a fixed workout plan either! And you are absolutely so right about not seeing how far we’ve come with seeing what our body can endure. Or do workouts that used to be difficult at the beginning, but know they’ve become easier🩷 Like it just made sense to me, that I’ve been working out since august of 2023! And barely this month is where I have felt at my happiest and lightest emotionally. My body can finally keep up 😭. My body is looking different and I love how I’m changing physically 🥹.

But thank you so much for answering my ask! It means so much to me! I’m so sorry I’m like spilling my emotions here 😅. It just means a lot. And you are absolutely so nice and sweet and you look good!😁🩷

By any chance,(sorry to bother 🥲) would you mind sharing what your protein intake? 🩷 is it mostly through foods, or are you also taking a specific protein powder? 😯

No worries! I'm happy to help in any way I can 🤗

Congrats on those 8 months going to the gym!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 You should be proud of yourself for sticking with it 😊😊😊 I'm a newbie too, I've started going to the gym on September 23' 💪

I know it's hard to keep going because I felt so anxious and dumb and out of place at the beginning of this journey 🫣 so I'm happy for you and myself haha creating a habit is difficult!!!!!! 😤

I'm glad you are finally seeing progress and it's a big part of staying motivated to keep working out and eat more home cooked meals and all the healthy stuff we try to do even if we don't succeed all the time 😂

Thank you for the compliments I appreciate them 💖

Today I did some upper body workout and ugh 😩 it's always like 'am I doing enough?' because I don't feel that strong haha my goal is to do pull ups one day 🙌🙌🙌🙌

You should try those exercises, I know I'm shy too and sometimes I don't want to be in front of everyone but I suck it up and do it and to be honest I've been saying to myself that I'll try squats on the Smith machine for ages and I haven't had the courage to do it yet just to not make a fool of myself 🫣🥲 so I get it

About the protein intake I couldn't tell because the only thing I do is to be more mindful of what I eat and I try to eat a good amount of protein with every meal. But yes, I use protein powder too, sometimes I have a protein shake with some fruit or baked oats with the protein powder or with yogurt but mostly when I think that I haven't eaten that much protein or if I have had workout that day. What I've been told is that if you're trying to gain muscle you should eat around 2 grams per kilo of protein depending on your weight 🤓

(I take myprotein whey powder)

Thank you for sharing your gym story with me ☺️

Low budget in losing weight: pt. 1 - food

As somebody, who grew up on the chubbier and over-weight side the entirety of my life, I can say that I have tried the easiest, the hardest, the middle, the expensive and the cheapest ways of losing weight.

I'm not a professional, I'm not a gym rat or extremely into diets. I'm a normal 23 year old, who eats as normally as I can when it comes to losing weight and throughout the last 5 years, I had realised a lot of things that comes with it.

First thing is that I am quite heavy, when it comes to the scale (101,7kg) but I want to point out that at my height (171cm), I should be 65kg. I can say, that I have been that weight and it didn't suit me at all. My family has always been like stronger women, not in the obese way but my aunts and my mom, we all have strong thighs or big breast. I also have chubbier hands on my dad's side (which, he likes to call it "worker's hands"), so when it comes to your body, you should always include your genetics because in the process of losing weight, the genetics play a big role. Such, with me, coming from a line of strong, bigger women, I cannot have less than 75kg because then I look sick and dried up. Also my imune system is horrible and my hair began to fall out during my weightloos journey back in 2020. My hands will always look chubby and my thighs will always be big. It's genetics. So, the scale, shows how you weigh, not how obese you are. That should also include the fact that in the process of losing fat and gaining muscles, you will get havier because muscle mass is heavier than fat. The number on the scale is irrelevant when it comes your weight-loss journey because all in all, you want to have a toner and more defined body, which shows even if the number on the scale increases.

If you are a beginner of all beginners at all of this, the first week is the hardest. The first week, you probably won't eat healthy, you would probably eat sugar still, eat more meals than you should because you are not used to controlling your intake. That doesn't mean you are failing, it just means that you are trying and that is the process of healthier lifestyle.

Now, I haven't really grew up with a lot of money so salmon, avocados, those expensive proteins- that didn't really play into my journey. I was devestated because I thought it was a big block in my journey. Reality check- it isn't.

There are high protein foods though (eggs, tuna, protein bars, chicken etc.) and foods strong in fiber (apples, oats,...). If you're not a fan of it, you don't have to eat oatmeal every morning. Don't force yourself to eat something you don't want to. Balance it. Today I ate bread, mayo, pork salami and cheese. No eggs, no oats. Oh, and a chocolate pudding. You know why? Because it's breakfast and breakfast is king of all meals. The best thing you should do is start eating breakfast because you will be less hungry in the evening, not eating or snacking after 8pm. At breakfast, you break fast, so you should eat somehing strong to keep your energy levels high throughout the day.

Balancing food in the process of trying to lose weight is actually a struggle. You cannot snap your fingers and decide the next day that from that moment on you will eat healthier. Every food is healthy. Understand that. Oats are just as healthy as bread. Apple can increase your insulin levels just as chocolate can. The only difference is the intake. If you eat too much of chocolate, you'll feel sick but if you also eat too much of apple, you'll feel sick. People are used to over-eating. That's why the first week is the hardest, because you will continue the habit of over-eating but in your second week, your body will start to force you to stop over-eating.

How to Gain Weight: Best Diet for Weight Gain

When we often think about health and fitness, the focus tends to be on losing weight. However, there are individuals who struggle with the opposite problem—gaining weight. Just as weight loss requires a balanced approach, so does weight gain. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to gain weight and provide you with the best diet for weight gain, as recommended by the fitness and wellness organization Fitmorphs.

Understanding Weight Gain:

Before diving into the best diet for weight gain, it's essential to understand the basic principle behind it. Weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than your body burns. Therefore, the key is to focus on calorie surplus and choose nutrient-dense foods to ensure that the weight gained is in the form of lean muscle mass.

Best Diet for Weight Gain:

Increase Caloric Intake: To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than your body requires. Start by calculating your daily caloric needs and gradually increase your intake by 300-500 calories per day.

Balanced Macronutrients: A balanced diet is crucial for weight gain. Focus on consuming an adequate amount of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Fitmorphs recommends a macronutrient ratio of approximately 30% protein, 50% carbohydrates, and 20% healthy fats.

Protein-Rich Foods: Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair. Include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and plant-based protein sources like tofu and tempeh in your diet.

Complex Carbohydrates: Opt for complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, oats, brown rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes. These provide sustained energy and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Healthy Fats: Incorporate healthy fats into your diet, including avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon. These fats are calorie-dense and offer numerous health benefits.

Frequent Meals and Snacks: Instead of three large meals, aim for five to six smaller meals throughout the day. Include nutrient-dense snacks, such as nuts, yogurt, protein bars, and fruits, to meet your increased caloric needs.

Hydration: Don't forget the importance of staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall health and facilitate digestion.

Resistance Training: Combine your dietary efforts with a well-designed resistance training program. Building lean muscle mass is crucial for healthy weight gain. Consult a fitness professional for a personalized workout plan.

Conclusion:

Gaining weight requires a thoughtful approach that focuses on healthy, nutrient-dense foods and a well-structured workout routine. Remember, everyone's body is different, and it's important to listen to your body's signals and adjust your diet and exercise routine accordingly. By following the tips outlined in this blog post, you can embark on a successful weight gain journey while maintaining overall health and wellness. For personalized guidance, consider consulting a registered dietitian or fitness expert who can provide tailored advice based on your specific needs and goals. With dedication and consistency, you can achieve your weight gain goals and improve your overall well-being. When it comes to how to gain weight in a healthy way, FITMORPHS got you covered.

1. Cut out processed foods

One of the best ways to lose weight is to cut out processed foods. Processed foods are usually high in calories and low in nutrients, so they can contribute to weight gain. They’re also often high in sodium, which can cause water retention and bloating.

To make sure you’re not eating too many processed foods, check the labels when you’re grocery shopping. Avoid anything that has a long list of ingredients, or anything that contains partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, or other unhealthy additives.

You should also try to cook more meals at home using fresh ingredients. This can be a bit more time-consuming than buying processed foods, but it’s worth it if you’re trying to lose weight. Homemade meals are usually lower in calories and unhealthy ingredients than their processed counterparts.

If you do eat processed foods, be sure to balance them out with healthy choices. For example, if you have processed food for breakfast, make sure your lunch and dinner are full of fresh, whole foods. And, of course, don’t forget to exercise regularly and stay hydrated!

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are not only low in calories, but they are also high in fiber. Fiber helps to keep you feeling full, so you are less likely to overeat. Fruits and vegetables are also high in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. All of these nutrients are essential for good health.

Eating more fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to lose weight and improve your health. To make it easy to eat more fruits and vegetables, keep them on hand and make them part of every meal. Add a sliced apple to your oatmeal, top your salad with diced avocado, or eat a side of roasted vegetables with your dinner.

You can also get your fill of fruits and vegetables by drinking them in smoothie form. Add a banana, some berries, and a cup of spinach to your blender and you’ll have a delicious and nutritious smoothie that will help you reach your weight loss goals.

3. Get enough protein

Getting enough protein can be one of the most effective ways to lose weight. Protein helps to keep you feeling full longer, boosts your metabolism, and helps to build lean muscle mass. All of these factors can lead to weight loss.

How much protein you need depends on your weight, gender, and activity level. The general recommendation is to consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. So, for a 150-pound person that would be about 55 grams of protein per day. Active people or those looking to build muscle may need closer to 1 gram per kilogram of body weight.

You can get protein from a variety of sources, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It’s important to mix up your sources of protein to get all the essential amino acids your body needs. Aim to include protein at every meal and snack.

If you’re having trouble meeting your protein needs, there are a few supplements you can try. Protein powders, bars, and drinks are convenient and easy ways to increase your intake. Just be sure to choose products that are low in sugar and calories.

4. Avoid sugary drinks

If you want to lose weight, one of the things you should avoid is sugary drinks. This includes sodas, energy drinks, and even some fruit juices. Though they may seem harmless, these drinks can add a lot of sugar and calories to your diet.

Sugary drinks are often high in calories, but low in nutrients. This means that you can end up taking in a lot of empty calories when you drink them. They can also cause spikes in your blood sugar levels, which can lead to cravings and increased hunger.

If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s best to avoid sugary drinks altogether. You can opt for water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water instead. These drinks are all low in calories and can help you stay hydrated throughout the day.

5. Avoid refined carbs

When it comes to weight loss, refined carbs are the enemy. These are the types of carbs that have been processed and stripped of their nutrients, making them essentially worthless in terms of helping your body function.

Refined carbs are found in a lot of processed foods, including white bread, pastries, cakes, and even some healthy-sounding snacks like granola bars. They can also be found in some seemingly healthy foods like fruit juices and sports drinks.

The trouble with refined carbs is that they cause your blood sugar to spike, which leads to sugar cravings and eventually weight gain. They also don’t provide your body with any real nutrition, so you end up feeling hungry soon after eating them.

If you’re serious about losing weight, you need to avoid refined carbs as much as possible. This means making some changes to your diet and being more mindful of the foods you’re eating.

Instead of white bread, opt for whole wheat or grain bread. Choose brown rice over white rice, and steel-cut oats instead of instant oatmeal. If you’re craving something sweet, have a piece of fruit or a small snack that contains natural sugars instead of eating a processed dessert.

It takes a bit of effort to avoid refined carbs, but it’s worth it if you want to lose weight and improve your overall health.

6. Get enough sleep

We all know that defined cheekbones and a slender waistline can make us look fabulous, but what many of us don’t realize is that losing weight can also be beneficial for our health. Getting enough sleep is one way to help boost your metabolism and promote weight loss.

When we’re tired, our bodies tend to make choices that lead to weight gain. For instance, we’re more likely to reach for unhealthy snacks instead of fruits or vegetables, and we’re less likely to have the energy to go for a walk or hit the gym. When we don’t get enough shut-eye, our bodies produce more of the hormone ghrelin, which increases our appetites, and we also have less of the hormone leptin, which tells us when we’re full.

A lack of sleep can also lead to cravings for high-calorie foods. When we’re sleep-deprived, our brains are more likely to crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. This is because these foods give us a quick burst of energy, which is what we need when we’re tired.

So, how much sleep do we need in order to see weight-loss benefits? Experts recommend that adults get seven to eight hours of sleep per night. But, if you’re trying to lose weight, you may need even more. A recent study found that people who slept for nine hours per night and took in fewer calories during the day lost more weight than those who slept for eight hours.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, there are a few things you can do to help yourself fall asleep and stay asleep. First, create a bedtime routine and stick to it. This could include taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or spending a few minutes writing down your thoughts in a journal. You should also avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, as these can make it difficult to fall asleep. And, finally, make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool—a space that’s conducive to sleep.

7. Be active

If you want to lose weight, being active is one of the best things you can do. You don’t have to go to the gym to be active; there are tons of other ways to get moving. Here are a few ideas:

• Take a dance class

• Go for a walk or run outside

• Ride your bike

• Do some yard work

• Play with your kids

Being active doesn’t have to be hard work. You can start slow and work your way up. Just remember that the more you move, the more calories you’ll burn, and the more weight you’ll lose.

Losing weight can be a difficult and frustrating process, but it is possible to achieve results by making some simple changes to your lifestyle. By following the tips in this article, you can make a commitment to lose weight and improve your health in the process.

Whey Protein for Muscle Gain: Best Practices for Indian Men

Building muscle is a common fitness goal for many men, and incorporating whey protein into your diet can be an effective strategy to enhance muscle growth. In India, where dietary preferences and availability of supplements can vary, understanding the best practices for using whey protein is crucial. This comprehensive guide will provide tips and strategies for Indian men to effectively use whey protein for muscle gain.

Understanding Whey Protein

Whey protein is derived from milk during the cheese-making process. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and growth. Whey protein is quickly absorbed by the body, making it an excellent choice for post-workout recovery.

Benefits of Whey Protein for Muscle Gain

1. High-Quality Protein Source: Whey protein provides a high concentration of protein per serving, which is essential for muscle synthesis.

2. Quick Absorption: Its fast absorption rate helps in the quick delivery of amino acids to muscles, aiding in faster recovery and growth.

3. Rich in BCAAs: Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) in whey protein, particularly leucine, play a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis.

4. Supports Fat Loss: Whey protein can help in fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass, contributing to a more defined physique.

Best Practices for Using Whey Protein

1. Choose the Right Type of Whey Protein

   There are different types of whey protein available:

   Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC): Contains some fat and carbohydrates, typically cheaper.

   Whey Protein Isolate (WPI): Lower in fat and lactose, higher protein content per serving.

   Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH): Pre-digested form for faster absorption, usually more expensive.

Indian men should choose the type that aligns with their dietary needs and fitness goals. For general muscle gain, Whey Protein Concentrate is a cost-effective and beneficial option.

2. Determine the Right Dosage

   The recommended daily intake of protein for muscle gain is generally around 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For instance, if you weigh 70 kg, aim for 112-154 grams of protein per day. Whey protein supplements can help meet these targets when dietary protein alone is insufficient.

3. Timing Your Intake

   Post-Workout: Consuming whey protein immediately after your workout maximizes muscle recovery and growth. Aim for 20-30 grams of whey protein within 30 minutes post-exercise.

   Morning: Adding whey protein to your breakfast can help kickstart muscle protein synthesis after the overnight fast.

   Between Meals: A whey protein shake can be a convenient snack to maintain a steady supply of amino acids throughout the day.

4. Incorporate Whey Protein into Your Diet

   Smoothies: Blend whey protein with fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats like nuts or seeds for a nutritious shake.

   Oatmeal: Add a scoop of whey protein to your morning oats for a protein-packed breakfast.

   Yogurt: Mix whey protein into Greek yogurt for a high-protein snack.

   Homemade Protein Bars: Create your own protein bars using whey protein, oats, honey, and nuts for a portable snack.

5. Combine with Resistance Training

Whey protein alone won't build muscle; it must be combined with a proper resistance training program. Focus on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows to stimulate multiple muscle groups and maximize muscle growth.

6. Monitor Your Total Protein Intake

While whey protein is beneficial, it's essential to ensure you're not consuming excessive protein, which can strain the kidneys over time. Balance your protein intake from whey protein with other protein sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and dairy.

Addressing Common Concerns in India

1. Lactose Intolerance: Many Indian men may be lactose intolerant. Whey Protein Isolate, which has minimal lactose, is a suitable option. Alternatively, plant-based protein powders like pea or soy protein can be considered.

2. Cost: Whey protein can be expensive. To manage costs, buy in bulk or look for deals online. Additionally, combining whey protein with affordable protein sources like eggs, milk, and legumes can help meet protein requirements without breaking the bank.

3. Authenticity and Quality: Ensure you purchase whey protein from reputable brands like Good Nutrition and verified sellers to avoid adulterated products. Look for third-party testing and certifications to guarantee quality and safety.

4. Cultural Dietary Practices: Respect traditional dietary habits while integrating whey protein. For vegetarians, whey protein can be an essential supplement to meet protein needs without relying on animal products.

Tips for Maximizing Muscle Gain

1. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is crucial for muscle function and recovery. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you're consuming higher amounts of protein.

2. Get Adequate Sleep: Muscle recovery and growth occur during sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support your muscle-building efforts.

3. Balanced Diet: Ensure your diet includes a balance of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Carbohydrates provide energy for workouts, while healthy fats support hormone production and overall health.

4. Consistency: Building muscle is a gradual process that requires consistent effort. Stick to your workout routine and protein intake plan to see the best results over time.

5. Track Progress: Keep a record of your workouts, protein intake, and physical changes. This can help you stay motivated and make necessary adjustments to your regimen.

Conclusion

Incorporating whey protein into your diet can significantly enhance muscle gain when combined with proper resistance training and a balanced diet. For Indian men, considering factors like lactose intolerance, cost, and cultural dietary practices is essential to optimize the use of whey protein. By following these best practices, you can effectively use whey protein to achieve your muscle-building goals and improve your overall fitness.

Remember, the journey to building muscle is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay dedicated, be patient, and your efforts will pay off in the long run.

How to Become a Great Powerlifter: A Comprehensive Guide

Intense strength training coupled with exact technique is what makes powerlifting a tough sport. It's essential to comprehend the basic ideas and techniques if you want to succeed at powerlifting. From training methods to mental tactics, this guide will take you through all the essential elements of being a great powerlifter.

To becoming a great powerlifting JOIN NOW

Understanding Powerlifting

What is Powerlifting?

The three primary lifts performed by competitors in powerlifting are the squat, bench press, and deadlift. In each of these lifts, the objective is to raise as much weight as you can. The lifter who achieves the highest cumulative total throughout the course of all three exercises wins. Competitors are scored according to their maximal weight for each lift.

The Three Main Lifts

Squat: This workout works the lower body and legs. Bending at the knees and hips, lowering your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or lower, and then raising yourself back up is how you execute a squat.

Bench Press: This exercise targets the triceps, shoulders, and chest. You raise a barbell off your chest to arm's length while lying on a bench, then drop it back down.

Deadlift: The deadlift is a full-body exercise that targets the back, legs, and core. A barbell is raised to hip height from the floor and then lowered again.

To becoming a great powerlifting JOIN NOW

Developing a Training Plan

1. Establish Your Goals

Establish your goals before you begin your training. Do you lift weights for your own strength development or with an eye on competing in a meet? Having well-defined objectives will enable you to customize your training and maintain your motivation. 

2. Create a Structured Routine

The following elements are often included in a well-organized powerlifting routine:

Strength Training: To target weak spots, concentrate on the squat, bench press, and deadlift with variations.

Exercises for Accessory Muscles: These focus on the glutes, hamstrings, and core, which support the primary lifts.

Rest and recuperation are essential for the development of muscles and the avoidance of injuries. Make sure you take days off and engage in stretching and foam rolling exercises.

3. Emphasize Technique

Technical proficiency is essential for both effectiveness and security. Here's how to improve your method:

Squat: Make sure your knees pass over your toes, maintain an upright chest, and use your core. Before increasing the weight, master the movement with lesser weights.

Bench Press: Keep your feet firmly planted, your upper back steady, and carefully drop the bar to your chest.

Deadlift: To lift weight without rounding your lower back, begin with the bar near your shins, maintain a flat back, and use your legs and hips.

4. Focus on Progressive Overload

You have to gradually increase the weight you lift in order to gain strength. We call this idea progressive overload. To push your muscles and boost performance, gradually increase the weight or the amount of repetitions in your workouts.

Carbohydrates: During rigorous exercise sessions, carbohydrates give you energy. Include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.

Fats: Hormone production and general health are supported by healthy fats. Add sources such as almonds, avocados, and olive oil.

Drink plenty of water to sustain your performance and recuperation. Water is your best beverage throughout the day.

2. Prioritize Recovery

Training is not as vital as recovery. Put these strategies into practice:

Get between seven and nine hours of good sleep every night to help with general healing and muscle restoration.

Rest Days: Include rest days in your workout regimen so that your muscles may heal and develop.

Stretching and Mobility: Performing regular stretches and mobility exercises will help you become more mobile and avoid injuries.
