Gain Weight The Healthy Way

Did you know that most weight/mass gainer supplements are loaded with sugar and Maltodextrin. Some even have relatively low protein content as compared to sugars or carbohydrates. So in the end what you end up paying for is majorly carbohydrates in processed form. You can get much better quality carbohydrates right in your kitchen that too at a much lower price. Some basic ingredients readily available that you can use to prepare a homemade mass gainer shake are: Dates Honey Almonds Peanut Butter Banana Chia Seeds Mango Whole Milk Oats The best thing about preparing your own mass gaining shake is that you exactly know how much of what ingredient you are adding. Also, since you are using whole foods as compared to a processed supplement your body even gets a lot more micronutrients.

Ice-Cream on a DIET?

Well, its a fact that you can have Ice-Cream or anything for that matter and still lose weight as long as you are in a Caloric Deficit, but the question arises should you?  We would say yes if you can fulfil the below two conditions: 1. You are managing to hit all your nutrition intake for the day, this just does not meaning hitting your protein intake only but other components as well, not to forget the crucial micronutrients. 2. Avoid binging on Ice-Cream or your favourite food item, eat in a limited amount that gives you mental satiety, its motive should never be to satisfy your hunger, leave that task to real whole food. If you are in compliance with the above two factors, Congratulations! You can now enjoy your favourite foods. But what if you are unable to follow the above on a given day and some random strong craving kicks in? Do you give up or do you consume that item in moderation? I’d go with the latter, as I know myself that I would not be binging on that stuff and it would not be happening every other night, moreover it will keep me sane and let me stay focussed on my goals; doing this practice would be like taking a step backward but putting two forward for me personally when you perceive it in the long term. However, that’s just me and my personal opinion! Most people specially those who have just started their fitness journey will find it really hard to put the spoon down without finishing the whole Ice-Cream tub! For such folks we would recommend not to indulge in Ice-Cream or any other delicious items that are difficult to consume in moderation.

Can You Build Muscle/Lose Fat Without Supplements?

We are not here to thrash the use of supplements, or stop anyone from using them. We understand the value that supplements might be able to add to your fitness regimen, however what we at NoSupplements want to emphasise is the fact that the value they add is nowhere close to what the core principles of a fitness lifestyle do. Supplement by itself means an addition to a process in order to enhance or complete it. The fact is that when the foundation of the process is not strong enough, then no matter how good of a supplement you add to your routine the results would not be there. The core principles that we believe which are required to achieve any fitness goal are: Nutrition Training Recovery We at NoSupplements will help you in providing the optimal way to incorporate the above principles while you enjoy your life and hit your fitness goals at the same time! NoSupplements believes in making this a lifestyle rather than making fitness your entire life!

Fat Loss Pyramid

If you are someone who is struggling to lose fat then follow the principles mentioned in this blog which are ranked in the order of most important to least important: Calorie Deficit: You can follow any diet that you want/like whether it be Paleo, Intermittent Fasting, Keto, etc, but if you are not in a deficit at the end of your day, you won’t lose fat. Period. Protein Intake: Though you can manage your macros as per your preference, but keeping your protein intake moderately high makes a huge difference which is due to the following: A. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient. B. The thermogenic effect of food when you ingest protein is the highest among carbs and fats. C. Protein helps in maintaining muscle mass while the scale goes down. Lifting Weights: Strength training ensures that you maintain as much muscle as possible while losing bodyweight. Sleep: Recovery is the most underrated aspect when it comes to any fitness goal, not just losing fat. Aim to sleep 7-8 hours daily. Cardio: Engaging in cardiovascular activities is a valuable tool for supporting fat loss, offering a viable option for those who prefer not to drastically reduce their calorie intake. Even simple activities like walking can contribute significantly to your fitness journey. Whether you’re into running, cycling, or other forms of aerobic exercise, incorporating cardiovascular workouts into your routine can help burn calories and improve overall health. Explore various options and find the activity that suits your preferences and fitness goals. For more insights into optimizing your fitness routine, check out https://nomininz.top/!

Vegetable Juice: Powerhouse of Micronutrients

Hard to think of any other beverage that provides as much nutrition as Vegetable Juice does? Juicing is an amazing way of consuming all the micronutrients in one go but the problem lies with the high sugar content of the fruit juice, packaged juices are even worse as they contain added sugars as well along with the naturally occurring sugars in fruits. Vegetable juice solves the above problem as it provides all the micronutrients, antioxidants with minimal natural sugars, thus making it low calorie at the same time. One serving of vegetable juice daily can make sure that your immune system is in excellent condition? You can pretty much get all your vitamins and minerals daily while keeping your caloric intake in check as vegetable juice is less than 100 calories per 300mL. Not to forget that the juice makes your stomach feel full as it is high in dietary fiber and voluminous which makes you eat less and reduces cravings, thus a must have drink during your fat loss journey. The plethora of micronutrients present in the juice is an amazing way to ensure your body is not deprived of nutrients, especially when the body is in a caloric deficit to lose fat. One can also use the juice as an organic all natural pre workout? In our upcoming blog we will list the detailed list of ingredients that are required in your vegetable juice to make it a potential replacement for your multivitamin tablets.

Which COLOURED egg YOLK is the most nutritious? YELLOW yolk vs ORANGE yolk

Lately it has been propagated that eggs having orange or dark yolks are better than those containing yellow or light yolks. The fact is that yolk colour proves nothing about the egg other than that the chicken that laid the egg had access to what amounts of carotene in its diet. The colour of the yolk cannot guarantee extra nutritional benefits, neither it can be considered as a sign that the egg is 100% organic? Orange yolks are the result of chickens eating more food with high carotene content, whereas yellow yolks come from chickens eating less carotene. Here comes the catch, you’d think that a chicken whose diet is rich in carotene or the one that is fed a good diet is the only one that is capable of laying an egg with a dark yolk, but unfortunately that is not necessary? Marigold flowers or sometimes even edible colours are added to the diet of the chicken that lays the egg, just to make sure that the yolk of the egg would be bright or orange? This would give the consumer a false intimation that the egg definitely came from a chicken who was fed a great diet? Conclusion: Rather than focussing on the colour of the yolk, try focussing on eggs which are laid by chickens who are well fed and raised organically.

If you are someone who thinks minimising sodium or salt from your daily diet will help to lose fat, then you are highly mistaken!

Brown Eggs vs White Eggs

The colour of an egg is not an indicator of its quality, period. Whether an egg will be a quality one or not is decided by the poultry feed given to the chicken that lays the egg. The colour of the egg shell does not matter. In fact, the nutrition of a brown egg compared to a white egg will be identical if they weigh the same. In general, white-feathered chickens lay white eggs, and brown-feathered chickens lay brown eggs. So the next time if someone is asking for extra bucks just because the colour of the egg is brown, you know exactly what to do. Rather than choosing an egg based on its colour, choose the ones which are laid out by chickens who are well fed and raised organically. They’ll cost you more than the regular ones but then who expects quality at a low price tag.
