Career-Love-Fitness.. Where/What/When/How!!

One of the biggest challenge that youngsters face is impatience. After being at a Job for few months, if it’s not their ‘DREAM JOB’, they bump into new one. But the problem is you won’t know that in a few months especially when you’re entry level. So if you are going to just take a Job at least use it as an education.

If it’s not the Job you love, then learn. Learn from the bad leadership & decisions you are experiencing. Learn from the things that you like & you don’t like.

Not to mention the fact that finding a great Job is not like a scavenger hunt. You don’t look under a rock/mountain a be like, ” yeepee I found it, Here’s a Job I adore”.

A great career/dream Job/a fulfilling career is like a great relationship. You don’t find love either like a SURPRISE. You can’t just say yourself someday “Oh, I found the person I love”. That’s not how it works!!

You find somebody who really loves you for you, respects your thoughts/opinions/decisions. & You work hard every single day to stay in love. It’s not something you can take for granted. After you fall in love, you have to keep on working at it.

It’s like going to gym/do some workouts, you have to work really hard every single day to get into shape. But, once you are in shape, you actually have to keep going on. You can’t stop.

You want a great relationship, you have to work hard to form that great relationship & then you have to work at it when you are in it.

Careers are the same. You have to work hard to find what you like & when you get it. The feeling of “Oh my gosh, I really love it here” must be there. Then the work continues to stay in love. It’s not something you just find, not some miracle. And If you think it’s that way, then you are going to keep going from Job, to Job, to Job, to Job & unfortunately you will never find what you are looking for.

Breakfast!! Why & how!!

First rule: Whether you are hungry or not/dieting, Never skip it.

Empty stomach at morning means higher risk of diabetics & heart disease. & It’s not going to help in weight loss you are dying for.

What to eat!!

  1. Go NUT: almond, pistachio, cashew, peanut & walnut. These nuts carry some vital nutrients to kick your morning with high fibre, protein & healthy fat resulting good heart health.
  2. Coffee, Yes BLACK: Good cardio vascular health. It decreases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
  3. Tea: Weight loss, anti oxidant, cancer fighting antibodies, protect heart, stronger teeth & bone.
  4. Go GREEN: Enough of that sugary fruit smoothie. Let’s change it a bit. Go for a smoothie which includes spinach, broccoli, cucumber & anything that looks green. Just grind & drink.
  5. Fruit & Berries: Always prefer berries over fruits. & Avoid that fruit juice, prefer eating fruit & whole fruit.
  6. Bread & Cereals: Yes please. Go for any whole grain bread & cereals. Whole grains pack all needed vitamins & minerals that’s actually gets eliminated during refining process of fine flours.
  7. Greek Yogurt: It’s probiotic, Helps in weight loss & a strong immune system.

I have summed it up in a way to deal with your day to day nutritional demands of your body. Start a day with something good. Hope this post helps all who asked me for suggestions related to breakfast & what’s the stuffs to pack for avoiding a health hazard in the making.

Bad Skin Food!!

Avoid the foods listed below. & Stop complaining about the bad skin tone, acne, age spot, wrinkles, fine lines, many more that you can imagine related to skincare routine.

If you are a working professional (just like me) who is still dreaming to slay that 6 pack abs game or some student/oldie/house wife whoever you are; This post is for you. Because a good skin is not just needed for a pretty face, skin is the first protective layer of your body which takes the first hit related to any disease or injury. A healthy skin is a must before thinking about an happening delightful life.

So. Let’s go for what not to eat in your all day to day routine for a younger, clean & healthy skin. The list as follows;

  1. DAIRY: All dairy products stimulates extra oil in your body causing pore clog. Which will result in acne in most cases. (The worst lies on this planet are SKIMMED MILK, LOW FAT BUTTER & FAT FREE CHEESE)
  2. SALT: Iodine retains extra body water causing puffy & flamy skin. If you can’t skip higher salt intake & super serious about those tastebuds; add some Omega-3 related food or take Omega-3 fish oil capsules. Omega-3 helps in keeping that healthy fatty acid rate high & it keeps skin moist+uninfected.
  3. BAD CARBOHYDRATES: Google it to know more about foods with bad carbohydrates. It’s essentially foods with higher GI (Glycemic Index) value. Like a bag of potato chips, which is a just a skin disaster helping you age early.
  4. SUGAR: It completely ruins the skin collagen production. Results in a rapid skin ageing. So if you love sweet or sugar, eat fruit; it has higher fructose & anti oxidant which will help you look younger for longer.
  5. ALCOHOL: Causes dehydration. Resulting poor, dull & dry + less vibrant skin.
  6. SHELLFISH: This includes prawn, lobsters & other sea foods. They contain high iodine levels which will hold water in your body causing a baggy skin tone & layers of unwanted skin fat.

Now that I have mentioned what not to eat!! Let’s also include what to eat for a younger & vibrant skin, I will answer in one line. “That’s all rich color natural food”.

Post 1. Keto Diet Chart for freaks.. Day 3

OK.. OK.. First I was thinking of naming the Subject to “Keto Diet Chart for Dummies”.. But Now, let’s skip that & jump to what we need to do in a short span to get rid of those extra fat.
Thought by me while typing: Clothes worth a million can’t make you look good if you look like a douchebag(look Fat)..
Diet Chart:

During Keto everyone avoids carbs, because that’s what Keto Diet is. I too do the same. As I said in my last post; If you are up with a 10 to 4 job, it becomes really hectic to follow a routine/discipline. The advantage of reading this blog post is, Now you don’t need that(Routine/Discipline).
Just remember you have to complete a four time meal as I am going to mention.

You have to eat veggies & some meat/fish/prawn/egg throughout the day as your breakfast-lunch-dinner-any other mood food. If you can go for a small workout routine or you are a fitness enthusiast, please add 2 scoop of 100% whey protein to your diet (any time).
N.B: Lazy guys can just eat right & chill.
Breakfast can be a omelet of 3eggs + some veggies added. Don’t use onion or any sauces to cook. Just some butter & herbs will do the rest when put in a little high flame. Cooking time will be 8-10minute max. This was my breakfast since last 3days. From tomorrow onwards i will be switching to some mushrooms with cream & cheese.

Lunch should be little high on calories because it is going to last till your evening workout starts(in my case). If you are not planning to go for a workout during Keto, I am just suggesting to start with a mild one like walking a mile or try some sit ups. Because during Keto, body gets to experience a new kind of diet which is being consumed by you. High fat, standard protien & low/zero carbs. Still, you need about 15-20grams of carbs in a day to get going. So, don’t forget some veggies.

Now, do or try a small workout after you are free for 20-30minutes (least). Dinner needs to be as half good as your lunch. So cut everything half what you eat during lunch. Or just go with a whey protein shake (No milk/No dairy), use only water. If it tastes lousy, try add a drop/tablet of Stevia. That’s it, you can’t ask more. Ketosis or Keto Diet is basically the survival mode of your body, you may feel a little drowsy or consumed/weak. But, trust me that’s a matter of one or two days. After that you & your body will be habituated to the routine.
In my case, my working hours are 10am to 4pm. I take my breakfast at 8.30. Then lunch at 12.30-1pm. I return home by 5pm, & I have included a small workout routine for myself as I still desire to look like a good looking average guy. (Yes Funny).

Whatever age group you belong, if you are planning to look good & feel sporty; get rid of those extra kilos. & It’s easy, super easy. A small amount of determination can do wonders.
Next post tomorrow, Tap ON for further gyans related to stay fit.

Switching to KETO DIET..

Before having so many doubts about it. Just Google it. It’s not new. But, as a working person, following a routine becomes impossible at every end. So, here is my journey. I am yet to start from tomorrow morning 8am.

But Yeah, whether you are a HE or SHE, you can join in. Why Keto? In my words, I need a body detox & below 8-9% body fat. This one looks easy as I gave it a shot a month back for a week, & within that week I lost 3.6kilo weight. After that one week I became intolerant towards my favourite PAPA JOHN’s ALL MEAT PIZZA. So I am a late starter here.
Challanged by a friend/brother, now I am up with it. For more, keep switching to to this space. From diet to my small workout routine, I am going to share everything. Yes, everything. If a lazy ass like me can do it, you can do it with ease.
Remember one thing, being fit is your Right & Duty. Neglecting it will invite a small or big health issue. Do it before you are forced to. #TapON
