Body Building: Most important meal of the day - Angela's Blog

most important meal of the day

MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY

In our busy mornings we often forget the importance of our breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because, first it is the very first meal of the day after seven to eight hours gap. Breakfast basically means breaking fasting period of the prior night, second it provides our body fuel in form of energy to work whole day with good mind. 


Not only having breakfast at the right time is sufficient enough, right choice of breakfast matter most as on type of breakfast it depends whether you will burn your calories and fat or you will put them up.

Breakfast should contain right quantity of carbohydrate, proteins and fibre

  • For carbohydrate you can include beaten rice ( poha ), upma (south indian breakfast).
  • Sprouts contain high source of protein or yogurt can also be included it contains protein equal to meat, so if you are vegetarien then you can opt for yogurt in breakfast as part.  
  • For fibre you can opt whole grain bread instead of white bread as whole grain bread contains fibre and it is good source of energy.

Apart from 
these you can include egg white, it contains nutrients, egg contains about 52 grams calories but your workout and activities of the day burn them out, fruits or fruit juice as per your choice as every fruit carries their own goodness. So to reduce your weight without any compromise with balanced diet food you can have a glass of fruit juice or a fruit, three to four egg whites and a slice of whole grain bread.

Body Building: Lose weight with green tea - Angela's Blog



Green  tea is the healthiest beverage as compared to white tea, black tea and black coffee. People often include it into their diet plans for losing weight as it contains antioxidants and it is made from un-oxidised leaves that helps in reducing belly fat. Not only antioxidants green tea is also a medicine that keeps our body away from reach of diseases like cancer.


Besides this green tea makes us active as it contains no calories hence no fat. With almost no side effects, green tea can improve brain function as it contains caffeine but less than coffee therefore it does not harm our body like coffee in which amount of caffeine is very high. People who include green tea in daily routine are more productive and have more energy as compared to those who prefer coffee.

There are many benefits of green tea - 

  1. It also reduced risk of clogged arteries and lowers blood pressure in elderly people. 
  2. It prevent dental cavities, stress, chronic fatigue, treating skin conditions.
  3. Green tea helps you lose weight.

 There are various brands of green tea available in the market.Top brands are:- Regular green tea � tetley, taj mahal and GAIA, Lemon green tea � eco valley, tetley, organic india, Mint green tea � eco valley, mittal�s, Tulsi green tea � organic india, eco valley.

There is no change in benefits by adding flavours to your green tea but if the flavours includes sugar then it may contain calories. Therefore avoid green tea with added sugar or with sweetened flavoured. Apart from flavours brand of green tea also matter, how tea leaves are produced and un-oxidised make difference in their quality. 

For begginers of green tea I prefer to choose green tea which is not strong as you may find it unpleasant as you are not used to the taste. Losing fat is a challenge but green tea makes it easier by reducing your efforts of dieting.

So, choose a green tea of your flavour and add it as your routine activity along with exercise for better results and a healthy weight loss. For more weight loss tips check out our weight loss section on the website.

Body Building: Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and mass - Angela's Blog

Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and massBicep is the muscle group on the menu today so I am gonna show you top 5 of the best bicep peeking and mass exercises. For an aesthetic body you need to have a well defined and shredded bicep.
So, here are the top 5 bicep exercise for getting that peak and building the mass.




Lets get started on the first bicep exercise


1.Seated dumbbell curls 


Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and mass Probably one of my favourite bicep exercise although it doesn't necessarily focuses on the peak its a great overall exercise for biceps especially for the mass. The reason why I like it is it keeps such a strict range of motion and doesn't let you swing your arms. So sit up right, slow the tempo down and feel the muscle work 2-4 sets 12 reps each,  don't go too heavy and focus on the movement. Work both arms together and keep yourself up right don't let yourself swing.


2. Single arm preacher curl


Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and mass
Single arm preacher curl is another one of the best exercises, it is for the peak. The magical thing about this exercise is it keeps you on a very strict range of motion which really means all that movement (Contraction and relaxation ) originates from that bicep and really peaks up at the top
Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and massyou can also assist yourself to make the best out of the set. Also while doing the exercise don't go all the way down, don't open you arm fully just open it to the right extent.


3. Incline dumbbell alternate curls + Barbell curls



Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and mass
This is a very important exercise. In fact this is a duo of thee Incline dumbbell curl and barbell curls. I chose Incline alternate dumbbell curls because of extreme range of motion allows you to activate all of your muscle fibers which results in targeting  and isolating the muscle entirely and hence you end up building more muscle. 


Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and massIn incline position the movement remains isolated and there is no cheating because of the strict position

Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and mass
If you go with lightweight it wont make your bicep big, what it does is activates the muscles fibers and that's where the barbell curls come into play. Do 3 heavy sets of Barbell curls and you'll be amazed by the massive results.


4. Concentration curl


Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and massThe bicep concentration curl have become such an under rated exercise often done with the machines cables other movements taking place but this truly is a staple in any bicep workout regardless of whether you are trying to build that peak or not. Its hard to cheat this exercise, some tips for doing this exercise, don't angle the arm too far in or out just keep the elbow right on the inside. Now curl the dumbbell up towards your chest, get as high as you can without swinging way too high if you need to lower the weight down do it its isn't about your ego, its about how practically you are training that bicep. flex that muscle hard, hold and dominate the bicep workout.


5. High cable curl


Top 5 Bicep exercises for peak and mass
So this is the last exercise on our list of top 5 bicep exercises. The high cable curl is a  great bicep exercise to finish the bicep workout.The exercise gives you a full stretch in the biceps which really feels good. The variation in the cable height  has different impact on the bicep muscle accordingly, so don't don't set the cable height just to the normal height and complete the workout.

So these were the top 5 bicep exercises that you must include in your workout routine. If you have any questions to be answered or suggestions, you can write them below in the comment section and we will be happy to answer them.

Body Building: Top 5 most effective fat burners - Angela's Blog

     
 Top 5 most effective fat burners

We are back again with a list of top 5 fat burners you need to try in 2015 to get rid of unwanted fat and sculpt the body that looks aesthetic and shredded. 




1. Kor Nutrition�s Thermakor 



 Top 5 most effective fat burnersOne of the best and most effective fat burner with all natural ingredients available in the market today. Most of the well known bodybuilders and fitness models claim to be using this fat burner. 

Visit Their Website www.Thermakor.com 


Thermogenic Weight Loss Supplement which Burns Fat by the power of thermogenisis. Aids in your bodies prevention of new fat uptake within the cells and Prevents varicose veins and cellulite. It Regulates insulin levels and suppresses appetite. This thing is strong. 1 a day is all you can do and it works great. On the first week you can see the results as least as 2% of the body fat decreased even if you are struck at a certain body fat. Plus the energy will feel good and you'll feel no crash. Its an amazing product from a trusted company.




2. Muscletech Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite 

The second best and not much far behind the thermakor. The product comes from a well reputed company muscletech and has proven to show results and has thousands of positive reviews.


This is my personal favourite and I have personally tried this product. You take it soon as as you wake up and you don't need the morning coffee or midday energy drink to keep you going. 

Although some claim that if you take it after 12 or mid day then it is hard to fall  asleep for them due to tremendous energy that it delivers. Your workouts last longer and you will feel like a hulk and will able to do an extra set of the exercise.

3. Cellucor - SUPER HD



One of the best product out there in the market. Kills the fat with the help of thermosis. Fat targeting and sculpting ageant. Here is a guest review who is using cellucor hd in his daily routine and has accomplished his goals successfully. Give it a read.I have been absolutely blown away by the results I've received from this product! I almost didn�t try it because I had a very disappointing experience with Ubervita W700 right before I tried this but was desperately in need of something to help me break through a weight loss plateau with which I�ve struggled for months. I had a lot of success with Oxyelite Pro a few years ago but that product is no longer available. When I searched for fat burners on Amazon Ubervita W700 was the first product to come up, it had great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. It did absolutely nothing for me, despite eating a clean ketogenic diet and working out faithfully - HIIT and weight training.

I was on the verge of resigning myself to the higher weight but was determined to meet the weight goal I had set for my 21tst birthday which is coming up in just 4 more weeks so decided to try one more option. This time I did more extensive research and decided to try Cellucor HD. I also purchased the other Cellulcor product, CLK, as the reviewers who had the best results were those that stacked these two products together.

I have only taken it for 3 days, and in 3 days, I have I have blown past my plateau - I�ve lost 6 lbs! 15 minutes after the first dose, I noticed a significant boost in my energy, not to mention an elevation of my mood that felt awesome, that continues throughout the day. I also have noticed a decrease in my appetite and cravings. As for my dosage, for now I am sticking with one HD in the morning, one in the afternoon, and just three of the CLK�s a day � one with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The maximum dose is two HD�s in the morning. Try it and you will never regret.

Body Building: Natural bodybuilding vs steroids - Angela's Blog

Natural bodybuilding vs steroids


I am sure by now you must have become very familiar with the word natural bodybuilding. In this post about natural bodybuilding vs steroids I would like to enlighten you people about the difference between both of them. Natural bodybuilding involves sculpting not by shortcuts such as steroids but by eating all the naturally available food by the nature. Synthetic drugs can make you bigger for sure but they have their own side effects and cannot be taken for a longer period  as they can damage you body in several ways and are proven to have their own side effects also they will create muscles which will be more like temporary not permanent unless you permanently include them into your lifestyle.

Natural bodybuilding vs steroids

Sculpt a body that stays 

Of course you can take protein powders and other supplement that enhance your performance and somewhat help you with your natural bodybuilding diet in increasing your potential as they don't have huge side effects and they are not synthetic to that very extent. 






But I'd say let's rest the protein powders when you have all the protein available by natural occurring foods that are available naturally.

Natural bodybuilding vs steroids For example One can complete his protein requirement by eating food that has high protein content such as a fish ? Meat ? Beef maybe or if you are a pure veg then how about broccoli ? Soy bean ? beans ?  right ? go for these instead of going for protein powders. Go for milk as it contains casein instead of going for casein powders. Eat brown rice or before going to the gym instead of a pre -workout. You have it all but still you choose to build your body with the help of synthetic foods instead of naturally occurring pure food.



Here for an example. look at the one of the most aesthetic bodybuilder from the 70's bodybuilding. His name is Frank Zane and he has won Mr olympia title too. He took care of his body in a great way by controlling his diet. He looks like Greek god and his body is very impressing and lean. So if you want too look like him then eat natural otherwise you will end up looking like the great Ronnie coleman. I am not saying that he is bad, he is one of the most greatest bodybuilder in the bodybuilding history. What I am just saying is he doesn't look pleasing to me, the element that makes a person looks good and attractive is lost somewhere While in the pursuit of getting bigger and bigger. I am sure you feel the same.

In the end I would like to say that no matter how much difficult it gets to transform your body make sure you don't get into shortcuts. Keep up the hard work and diet and you'll reach you goal in no time. 

Comments are most welcome.

Body Building: The Ketogenic Diet - Angela's Blog

ketogenic diet for losing weight


For all those of you who are worried about the fat loss. The Ketogenic diet is for you people. Keto diet originated nearly 90 years ago and is proven very effective for treatment for epilespy.



The main concept of ketogenic diet is using the fat as the fuel for losing weight or fat loss.
So that means in this diet you will eat more fat to loose fat basically. Weird but it works.

It works on the principle of KETOSIS which means that when the body does not get energy from the glucose then it breaks down the stored fats in the body to generate energy.

The ketogenic diet plan is well formed when your diet include 60-70 percent of fats, 30 percent of proteins and merely 5 percent of carbohydrates.

So there is no definite plan for keto diet as there is no definite plan to gain muscle because every body is different. We have already posted few diet plans earlier for losing weight and getting abs muscles.

I'll leave them here just incase you want to check them out.

Bodybuilding diet for abs
Diet plan for bodybuilding
Veg diet plan for bodybuilding


The list of few food examples for keto diet is as follows according to the content of the food.

Food with high fat content for ketogenic diet :

  • Nuts - Almonds, Peanuts, Cashew nut, pistachio, walnuts etc
  • Avocado
  • Cheese
  • Salami
  • Banana chips
  • Almond butter
  • Peanut butter
Food with high protein content for ketogenic diet :

  • Chicken breast
  • Tuna
  • Salmon
  • Eggs
  • Protein powder
  • Cottage cheese
  • Kidney bean
Food with carbohydrate content for ketogenic diet :

  • Multi grain bread
  • Rice
  • Brown rice
  • Wheat

Well, several people have lost weight from the ketogenic diet and is proven to work if followed properly. Although there is decrease in performance and endurance during the whole course of diet plan due to lack of energy so there is nothing to worry about. There are several other diet plans and concepts such as Dukan diet plan, Paleo diet and mediterranean diet that I will cover later in my other weight loss posts.

If you need a ketogenic diet weight loss plan for yourself, then contact us and we will be more than happy to help you.
And as always stay natural and stay aestheic.

Body Building: Zyzz Vs Jeff Seid : Who is more aesthetic ? - Angela's Blog



Hello everyone

I wanted to make this comparison post since very long but I couldn't as I was very busy in several other things.

So this is my first comparison post on the blog website and I will be as fair as possible. But ofcourse this post will have all my views and what I think of each of them from my point of view. Everyone is welcome to present their own views in the comment section.



So most of you must be aware of Aziz shaversian also known as "ZYZZ", if not then let me tell you that this guys is freaking awesome. People are crazy about him, and the way he lives his life. In Earlier life Aziz shaversian was a skinny guy who later joined his elder brother to the gym and After a few years of hard working and dedication he turned his body very aesthetic and muscular, Everything was in fair proportions. He never admitted of taking steroids and always claimed that his body was natural and was a genetic gift.



Whereas Jeff seid's parents had jeff seid into sports from very early stages of life. I don't have much information about jeff seid but as far as I know this guy is very aesthetic and has a huge fan following, especially now after since he appeared in the men's physique competitor. Jeff was too a skinny guys in earlier stages of life and soon worked hard to get a admirable aesthetic body. Has done modelling and spent days in several gyms as a fitness consultant and trainer.


Now I won't go into too much detail about their body stats or lifting stats. I would simply conclude that Zyzz was much better in many ways 'according to me' as compared to jeff. Why I choose zyzz over Jeff  is because I felt that apart from being shredded as ' fuarkkkkk" Zyzz is instantly inspiring, he had an aura about him. Check out his youtube videos, he was full of life he inspired the whole generation with his transformation and Greek god aesthetics. Look at both of their pictures..Jeffs pics are filtered and high quality while Zyzz's are straight from a flip phone and still looks better. The picture of Jeff looks like it's quite recent while the Zyzz picture is still when he was in his earlier stages of bodybuilding.
What is truly godlike about Zyzz are his proportions..

Now I don't want to tear too hard on this Jeff guy, he has got a really good physique, insane genetics and I have nothing against him but to me he looks like a Miami Beach boy who's a Zyzz wannabe while Zyzz on the other hand, looks like a Greek God. Perfect Aesthetics plus he had way more charisma. Jeff has interior-ly rotated shoulders, bad posture, aesthetics is perfect posture and proportions/symmetry.



Some Final words ......Zyzz was funny as fuark, popularized 'aesthetics' and created his own look. He built a huge following and will be remembered a long time after Jeff Seid.

Somebody will come along with better aesthetics. Bigger, leaner, stronger. But They still won't be Zyzz.

Son of Zeus, brother of Hercules and father of aesthetics. Forever mirin brah.
