My Fit Fuel : First Impressions

If you are one of the growing multitude of this generation,
who likes to lead a fit, active and healthy lifestyle amidst the cacophony of
unhealthy options that surround us, you would want to spend a few moments
learning how to do it right, rather than doing and unending series of knee
destroying, back breaking (literally), hamstring pulling routines as advised by
scores of offline and online health “pundits”.
There are 2 rules to leading a healthy lifestyle, according
to me, (Yep, I know I am sounding like a self -styled Health “Guru” here, but
hear me out.).
The first, foremost and perhaps the golden rule of losing weight
and losing fat in a way that is not dangerous, is to regulate one’s diet!
(woooooaaaaaaahhhhh!)
Yep, you read THAT
right, the hours you put in your local gym/fancy club (with a soda dispensing
machine) doesn’t play that big a role in your quest for being healthier as does
your ability/will to regulate and monitor your diet.
The amateur points to note are:
- Go easy on the Carbs. (Do NOT cut them out completely, or else your body will go into panic mode and hold on to the very fat reserves assiduously, that you are trying to shed). Choose wisely the form and the time that you take your carbs in.
- Have a good intake of proteins; a good rule of thumb is having at least 2 gms of protein for every kilo that you weigh. So, if you weigh 70 kilos, take at least 140 gms of protein DAILY.
- Exercising 7 days a week won’t raise your chances of getting ripped, our bodies need time to heal and recover as well, so a 3 days a week workout is as good as anything as long as you know what you are doing.
(usually, badminton) and light
weights for a couple of days to get some sort of shape.
With a schedule as wayward and hectic as any of you reading
this, my protein requirements are fulfilled by whey protein supplements. So,
when My Fit Fuel sent me there Whey Protein 80 to test out, I was quite pumped
(literally).
Noting down my first impressions here,
- The packaging was quite solid and secure. The sealed, zip-lock equipped packet was packed in in with a buffer of shredded waste paper, which in my opinion is quite responsible.
- The package arrived with a shaker bottle, with a metal ball inside it, which helps in giving a smooth texture to your shake if you aren’t close by to a blender-mixer. The bottle is quite handy to keep on your bicycle rack as well.
- There’s a serving spoon inside the packet which gives you an indication of your usage.
I usually blend the protein powder with water in
a blender and the consistency is quite decent and it dissolves well with water.
I have yet to try it out with milk.
5 They put up a ‘protein report” on their Protein
Product page on their website, which provides better transparency when it comes
to the constituents of the whey proteins itself.
6 Priced at 1249 INR for a 453 gms packet (1 lbs),
they have positioned themselves quite competitively as well. My Fit Fuel has made cheap whey protein powder in India very accessible.
7 The one concern that I have with the product, as
compared to the other brand that I use is, although the packet says German
Delight flavour, it leaves some sort of a plastic-y after taste which doesn’t
go down well, and I will suggest the makers to look into this.
That’s the roundup on the health front folks! Do share your
health stories with us and what is your preferred method to shed those extra
pounds.
Oh, what’s that you say, ahh, What about the 2nd
rule, that I mentioned earlier?
Well, never forget the 1st rule.
Cheers
