@Shailputri not to sound misogynistic, but men Always prefer to be bit muscular , hence the protein. Women prefer to look more curvy , hence fat. Guess there is genera idea of what “looking good” for each gender is the reason
:D Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi me Macho wala dialogue yaad aa gaya.
Yeah please do share! Learning about nutrition and meal planning has been number 1 on my list of "essential things to be learnt to live a healthy life" :P. Especially after I decided to start strength training.@chamomile it doesn’t mess up with any bodily function. Supplement is only if your unable to meet requirements through food. Dm me if you want to know more about this dieting stuff. I would like to share on this page itself if there’s a general interest about that kind of stuff for people here
@Shailputri I think there is a big misconception that working out make women look manly. That is why there’s a genera reluctance among women in working out. Hope to see that attitude change in coming days
Sorry bro. I am on Do-Not-Sweat-on-a-Treadmill team. Workouts in gym and developing muscular mass thru protein shakes is not my idea of a healthy being. I dislike skinny and I dislike muscular. But this is a matter of preference and means no disrepect to the dieticians out there.
Would like to know vegetarian choices of Vit B and D (other than Dhooop) though...
In the videos that I use for working out, the trainer keeps on repeating the benefits and essentiality of strength training. So I finally gave it a go post prelims. Basically, started with the BWF primer of Reddit and eventually started doing some other exercises too. Though my strength level is still very basic. I am barely able to finish a routine with 1 kg of a dumbbell in each hand, but I mains made me realise how much my body has improved.@Shailputri I think there is a big misconception that working out make women look manly.

bhai yeah jo coaching wale chacha analysis daal rahe hain...aur keh rahe hain "you should have used this perspective...this point..you may missed this thing...haha most of my students commiteed this mistake...blah blah."....arey bhai itni thand mei ungli toh chalti nahi...dimag kya chalega.
yeah AC mei baithkar Prelims ka analysis karte hain aur cozy heaters mei baith Mains ka...they should get some live.
Do machines also have calorie issue?I read a study where it says that the number of calories burnt on a thread mill is less than just jogging outside given same speed and duration of time. I dont like doing cardio in a gym. Gym only for muscle toning.
Delhi vaalon, any suggestions how to let off steam? Some relatively less known places to visit, good places to eat, anything!
Please go to Ama CAfe... Ive been there more than 20 times in less than a year...
It is not a less known place though... Very popular...
Lodhi Garden is also a good place to soak in some winter sun.. Quite well maintained atleast when I had gone there 2 years ago..
