Indian Brands are a SCAM?

Hi fam,

Indian brands are often considered bad, stupid, and copied only because most brands have the same manufacturer.

Having the same manufacturer isn't the problem. In a country like India, where capital isn't freely available, setting up a manufacturing unit might actually be a bad idea.

Lack of capital and experience invites serious quality concerns!

Contract manufacturers have one job that is to manufacture, keeping quality controls and FSSAI regulations in mind.

The metrics we are supposed to be tracking are in the last slide.

Understanding quality concerns and following FSSAI regulations for manufacturing and quality control for every startup is no joke!

Optimum Nutrition launches Protein BEER!!

Hi fam,

10 g of protein for 90 calories and non-alcoholic.

Any drink with less than 0.5% of alcohol is considered non-alcoholic.

Gen Zs are drinking less alcohol than any other generation, which is great!

This happens to be a drink, folks. Grab it at a night out with friends at a club or while relaxing, and it happens to be a great replacement for alcohol.

Zero-calorie drinks have been flying off the shelves, and this might be a great addition to the category of health and wellness products!

Egg White Protein Powder = expensive?

Hi fam,

Tata 1mg has introduced Egg White Protein Powder!

For a second, I felt this is going to be the best alternative to whey protein!!

But unfortunately, the prices of eggs have already increased by 35-40% and are likely to increase more.

Maize is predominantly the feed for poultry, and 37% of maize production is being used for ethanol.

As we move closer to E100, the prices of eggs are bound to increase!

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: the best bet we have to make protein affordable is to crack yeast and plant protein to be tasty.

Tukaram Mundhe, a blessing to us Indians!

Hi fam!

Expecting the bare minimum, which is hygiene at restaurants we eat at, has become too much to ask for.

Mr.Tukaram Mundhe has been making that change and truly adding a ton of value and confidence to us fellow Indians!

As a responsible citizen, whenever we see something shady, it could be a dark store, It could be a street side vendor or a five-star restaurant. It's our duty to bring this to the notice of FSSAI.

Here I have linked ways we could reach out to FSSAI. Let's do our part!

Chest day best dayyy!

Hi Fam,

Monday being international chest day, folks usually perform a zillion variations of chest and then complain, "Why is my chest not growing?" and go on to add a couple more variations.

3 variations, 2 pushing movements and 1 flying movement, is way more than enough for your chest.

Now what matters is to keep your elbows tucked in, train close to failure and make sure you give your body enough rest to recover!

Happy Gainz Fam :)

Truth of coffee!

Hi fam,

When we talk about coffee, it's black coffee or a coffee with minimal milk, not your frappuccino with almond milk with two pumps of vanilla extract!

Coffee is that one beverage which has enough data backing its efficacy and linking it to lower risks of liver and heart disorders.

That being said, correlation is not causation, though we have some data linking the bioactive compounds of coffee to positively affect liver health as we speak!

Thus, before making claims that coffee reduces or helps heart attacks alzheimer's or dementia, we need more data to make such big claims.

Electrolytes is a scam?

Hi fam,

Electrolyte brands that claim their formulation is superior because they have zero sugar are utterly stupid!

SGLT1 draws sodium the fastest into the blood, and this is why WHO has approved dextrose, a carb source to be a part of the ORS.

If you are going through severe dehydration, there is nothing that replaces an ORS.

To me, logically, even for a gym bro, he or she would want sugar/carbs to be a part of their electrolyte drinks.

It gives them instant energy and helps with hydration.

Less sleep = productivity?

Hi fam,

Sleep is that one metric which is most overlooked, but the best metric to optimize to have the largest gains out of!

Beat muscle mass, fat loss, or cognitive power. Sleep is that one metric which can aid everything.

Just by reducing your screen time you shall automatically find an extra 1-2 hours minimum, optimize your sleep, your body is begging for it!

The best habit to improve your quality and quantity of sleep is no screen one hour prior to bed.

Maida is Fevicol?

Hi fam,

Indian uncles and aunties are busy claiming maida sticks to your stomach, and that is the reason it's unhealthy.

Maida has been used in the past and is also currently used for notebook binding and wall glues. This analogy is often used to claim maida sticks to your stomach.

I'm not saying maida is healthy or unhealthy, but just spitting facts.

Regulating your food choices is the best hack to lead a sustainable diet and a happy life.

You cannot afford WHEY protein!!

Hi fam,

Whey protein prices have almost doubled in the past three years, and folks keep asking me, "What is the alternative?"

India does not control whey protein prices, and the best option is to switch to yeast or plant protein.

Prioritize getting protein from your diet, and when that's not possible, you can supplement it.
