Do I change my nutrition plan in winters?

Just like we change our wardrobe to woollen and our heating bill is increased. Our body also undergo through some changes. It is important to understand that consuming hot drinks in excess to keep yourself warm will not do any good to the body. It is essential to consume the right nutrients during winters to keep the metabolism stable.

Food items which are rich in Vitamin C especially fruits and vegetables. It keeps the immune system working correctly as it has to work harder to fight cold and flu during the winters. Some good food example of Vitamin C; kiwi, guava, grapefruit, orange, lemon and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, capsicums and Brussel sprouts are rich, natural sources of vitamin C. Other vitamin C-rich fruits include papaya, cantaloupe(Kharbooja) and strawberries.

Just like Popeye, eat up all the Spinach; the ZINC is needed! It boosts up the metabolism and helps to fight the cold. Secondly, make sure have stacked up packets of dry fruits. It should be your before breakfast meal; almonds, walnut and raisins.
Up your consumption of fish, eggs, porridge and cheese and avoid sugary meals or drinks. During winters; the body does not sweat as much it does in summers that stacks up the glucose in the body which later results in belly fat.

It is important to understand and know when these meals should be consumed and in what amount. It varies to every individual depending on their body type, metabolism and lifestyle/daily routine.

Are Supplements essential?

I’ve come across people who are completely against supplements and consider them hazardous to health. On the other hand, there are some of my friends who consume supplements on a regular basis even if they don’t exercise!

Well, both of them are correct! Let’s discuss:
First Situation – NO supplements – Supplement is made up of artificial process, for people who have a very minimal workout routine should stay away from supplements as its not going to bring much of a difference. Although, if you do not burn enough calories and consume excess proteins; it might effect your digestion organs! There are healthy alternatives which you can consider!

Second Situation – Supplements – People who are against supplements and spent plenty of time in the gym; it becomes necessary for them to consume it as it helps in faster recover of the muscles. However, some population tend to stress their muscles and does not provide enough nutrient which results in reducing the productivity and muscle growth! You have to make sure your Nutrition and Workout is balanced for you to see results!

I have trouble in starting my Workout routine! WHAT TO DO?

This is one of those cases everyone has been through! We often hear these statements from people; ‘I’ll start from Monday for sure’, ‘I have tried everything; my weight is still the same’, ‘It’s not meant for me’, ‘Yes, I have membership for a year but I rarely go’ and so on. I used these statements because I have heard them personally from my friends & family. I will not lie; I am also a victim of this. It is difficult to get back to the gym when you have taken a break or come back from a vacation.

WHAT TO DO??

Well, some tricks I have adopted which have worked really well in the past. Firstly, never think of starting from Monday! Instead, go the gym in the afternoon on the weekend and get use to the environment. It will help you prepare for the coming week. Secondly, plan out your workout before you go the gym! You will know what you have to do in the gym so you don’t look in the mirror all the time. Thirdly, it is not necessary that you have to begin with Chest or Cardio; just do what you like the most, keep it at a low level so you don’t pull up any muscle. Lastly, take a friend to the gym. Most gyms offer FREE TRIAL to new customers; you can use that and have a nice time with your friend the very first day!

How can I gain weight fast without gainer supplements?

Before I answer this question; I want to tell you that the process for changing your body naturally cannot be fast. It will take time for you to see results naturally! IF YOU FOLLOW THIS ROUTINE; RESULTS WILL BE PROMISING!

I would not recommend Gainer Supplements to anyone! A single scoop of it contains calories and components which a human body cannot digest.

For you to gain weight naturally; follow these steps:
1. Track how many calories do you lose every day!

2. Work on a nutrition plan which has more calorie than what you lose every day.

3. Make sure to REST your muscles and your brain!

4. Keep a positive mindset towards your goal; We forget that our body works how we think, if you are unsure whether your body will grow, IT WON’T!

5. Consume good quality Carbohydrates and Fats.

This is the very initial steps you can take to start your weight/muscle gain journey! IT WILL TAKE TIME BUT THE RESULTS WILL LAST LONG!

Why you should train with your buddy?

More than a thousand people ask this question every month, “Should I train alone or with a gym buddy?”, it would be much easier if these people asked this question to themselves. Before I reach towards a conclusion, I would like to point out that this is no rocket science! nor it is mathematics! It is does not require any sort of calculation or tests.

In order for you to get the answer, try to follow a routine for a week; it can be anything from waking up early at a particular time for the whole week, going for a walk, painting, cleaning, working etc. Make sure you set a time for this and do this routine in the time you have allotted yourself. You may/may not require to note down since its only for a week.

After a week, ask yourself if this was a burden or a duty you had to go through. If you took it as a task which had to be done on time. If yes, then you got yourself an answer to find a gym buddy! It can be extremely helpful in cases when you feel sidetrack; motivating each other in these situation can keep you and your buddy regular to the gym!
