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.
