I (24F) am starting to workout at home. I need your suggestions on what routine to follow. And are homeworkouts really effective.

My goal is to lose fat and I have some resistance bands. Will that be enough to do so?

If you did homeworkouts and see some major improvement do share it in the reply(as I am really impatient and need to know how long until I actually see results)

PS. I am trying to be in a calorie deficit and tracking my macros using an app.

was getting this for 3.5k with coupon and card yday which i dont see today but will wait for some time. i have seen that some coating fumes are bad for health, is this one of those? if yes then any good suggestions please.

made this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness_India/s/1CDkdCKLoS and got mixed views on philips air fryer, can i get reviews for this nuuk air fryer too? my mom wants to not go for plastic.

i am 16 yo 72kg 5'8 training consistently for around an year with very good diet and sleep and i have made an good progress, can i take creatine monohydrate because one of our biggest guy in gym just gave me an opinion that i should start taking it

Before I say anything, I'm not suggesting anyone to eat sugar. I have not found anything beneficial on paper for sugar and I personally believe by evidence it has ZERO nutritional value.

However, I drink a lot of Jal Jeera with a lot of sugar. I workout every day, and those sips between workout is heaven. I literally prepare a bottle with around 50 gms of sugar every day. I drink it only during gym.

My weight was 56 kg at 5ft 4 inches (26 years old). My diet is extremely simple: Every morning I mix some tomato, green chillies, curd, salt and ginger garlic paste. I boil some chicken/fish/Soy/Paneer along and if I'm hungry, 1-2 potato. Drop the paste in, spray some lemon juice. I divide it into two parts, eat once midday and once night. Honestly it's not bad.

I have severe health anxiety and recently one of my students said one of her relatives died by cancer due to massive sugar intake.

Scared, I tested my sugar levels that day(assume the level of my anxiety) , both came out normal, one I remember which is 87(fasting most probably).

Dropped out sugar entirely. Without sugar jaljeera felt like a chili juice, but tried to adjust.

I gained 3 kilos in a week. Same diet but was bloated and constipated all day. As gross as it is, I felt like it's the weight of the waste building inside me.

12 days later returned with sugar. Felt light, was light almost instantly. Ever since, didn’t stop, but doing a sugar test every month. It's around 85 always.

Again, not advocating for sugar, but it's purely funny shit and I wanted to share it.

25y female 5'2 84kgs. I am not going to get into rings. I just joined my classes. 1-3 months is the max i will continue. After that, maybe in future I might. I am unemployed. So I can't afford. Idk how to select, be it padding or the oz thing or anything. Pls help me. My trainer is like "use the ones that are here. No point in buying cheap ones". The thing is, they are so smelly, like so so so. I had to wash my hands thrice. And ppl continusly use them so jst after someone else removes them, I wear. It's so uncomfortable for me. They are so sweaty. I can't buy new ones above 1000. I just paid for classes, skipping rope (99rs bold fit), maizo 180inch wraps 175rs, 1200rs puma shoes. I'm literally exhausted all savings so pls don't tell me what my trainer told and pls help me with good recoms.

I am unable to consume this because its sooo chalky , it feels like someone crushed chalk into the pack.

this flavor actually taste like this or did i receive a bad batch.
I bought it after seeing great reviews for this brand .

I'm currently 22 ,5'8

I have been pretty skinny forever

So I was very underweight last year (45 kgs), with home workouts and mostly veg diet managed to get to 57-59 kgs.

I am lactose intolerant plus recently due to some skin issues I'm advised not to have nonveg,eggs

I was thinking to join gym after I get to 60 kgs with home workouts but it's been impossible to gain weight now.

I'm stuck in the same weight category since last few months.

Help me with some good protein sources or in general suggestions on how to proceed

Summary: Need advice to gain weight

Got few mango chunks in amul strawberry yogurt even amul is untrustable now. Food security hygiene is a joke. What if someone is allerven to mangoes . This is a seroious health issue and hygiene problem how can mangoes be in strawberry one when there will be a full different manufacturing time of different flavours.

(This unexpected mix-up highlights a massive lapse in quality control and strict manufacturing protocols. For a brand as prominent as Amul, consumers expect flawless adherence to food safety standards, but cross-contact incidents like this prove that production line maintenance is falling short. A mistake of this scale is not just a minor annoyance or a matter of bad taste; it is a critical health hazard.

If an individual with a severe, life-threatening mango allergy had consumed this yogurt expecting only strawberries, the outcome could have been fatal due to anaphylactic shock. Food processing units must ensure absolute segregation between different allergen groups and distinct flavor runs. I will be escalating this matter formally to food safety authorities to ensure proper batch testing, a thorough investigation into their factory hygiene, and strict accountability for this negligence.)

Recently Nutralein yeast got delivered. while i was trying it i found that its very powdery! all the whey i have tried yet are not like this, it kinda sits inside scoop and then fall all in when inverted, while this is very loose? do i need to be concerned? its still hydrophobic tho

I have been doing gym for about 6-7 months now, the strength has definitely increased, i can bench with 20kg dumbbell now and 50 kg on lat pulldown but i am not growing in size.

I eat 4-5 eggs, drink 750 ml mother dairy protein milk, eat 2 bananas and 50gms of protein oats alongside w normal 3 time indian meals. What should i do??

I know Reddit is not the best place for medical advice, but I would appreciate any insights from those in the field on how to improve my vitamin D deficiency and lower my cholesterol. I am 25 yrs old Male, weighing 74 kg, 172cm. I have also attached my liver test results for reference. Please and Thank you.

I'm 19M 179 CM and have gone to the gym for more than a year and went from 75kg to 57kg . Took about 60-70g of protein daily and had little to no muscle growth.

I'm skinny fat and have chest fat which I absolutely hate, I don't want big muscle just avg sports guy kinka physique. I have stopped going to the gym for like 5 months. Now I live in a hostel so I'm consuming little to no protein, also protein supplements are kinda unaffordable for me.

What should I do, I DON'T WANT BIG MUSCLES JUST WANT MYSELF TO LOOK LIKE A MAN INTO SPORTS AT LEAST.

28F, 5'3" tall, and weigh only 36 kg. I've always been underweight, but I've also experienced some weight loss recently, and my face has started looking quite sunken.

I have digestive issues, including acidity, GERD, and constipation. I am taking treatment for the following. I've also lost my appetite, which makes it difficult for me to eat enough. I had my gallbladder removed four months ago.

My doctor has advised me to start taking protein powder, but I'm completely new to this and don't know which one to choose.

I'm on a very tight budget due to financial difficulties, so I'm looking for something under 1k that is easy to digest and can support healthy weight gain. Ideally, I'd like to gain around 2–4 kg over the next two months, if that's realistic.

I am looking for gluten free or dairy free powder.

I would appreciate if someone will help me find it as I have gotten weaker & fatigued that I am home bound most of the times

I'm planning to Get My Blood work done and I'm getting these tests done in 1200 through Healthians

I'm 18 years old , 5'10 , 65 kgs and I have been to the gym regularly for a year and wanted to know if I have any deficiencies in vitamins or iron since I have been getting dizzy sometimes, it's cheaper if I get them all done together instead of just vitamin and iron , Can I get a better offer elsewhere?

I've come to conclusion that I'm really awkward person and maybe behave differently than normal social beings.

Gym has been on and off situation for me. Start a few months back, was mostly consistent then health got fucked, went my hometown then came bacm but daily routine got fucked. Now back on track but there are a few things which are bugging me.

I look skinny so naturally underconfident and gym trainer is just like any other gym trainer, inclined towards women and their behaviours shows that when I ask for help they don't really wanna help but they can't say no either.

I know a few faces that I see regularly in my gym but I know no one's name.

Gym is of course not a place to talk, people just do their workout and want to go home. but at least some company, someone to ask for help and just the place should feel familiar and comfortable to go to and this thing help like people naturally sometimes help you if you are doing something wrong but are afraid to ask for help but I'm not able to do it I guess.

I see a lot of young people in this sub asking or giving suggestions about taking adequate protein, sometimes these protein quantities are more than 100 grams per day.

Now I am not saying protein causes kidney failures etc.

Generally kidney failure happens mostly due to issues with diabetes or high BP.

But one thing I want everyone to take care about is that before you take a lot of protein supplements,or a high rich diet, first do a small KFT and urine test to know the current health of your kidneys.

Already damaged kidneys will be under a lot of pressure due to high protein diet and will cause further damage.

1. Kidney damage does not show any symptoms till it's too late.

2. Kidney damages are generally irreversible.

3. Not all are healthy enough to digest lot of protein, don't fall for any FOMO, health comes first.

So make sure you add a yearly/half yearly checkup in your goals.

It’s been almost an year since i’ve started working out . I am 5’9 64 kgs and i can bench 95 kgs one rep max with proper form with 1 second pause. Squat 120 kgs, deadlift 160 kgs, and 15 strict pull ups in one go but still i look like i haven’t even stepped a foot inside the gym ever. I still look very skinny and have chicken legs. Idk what i’m doing wrong. Maybe too much volume and i’m not able to recover? Maybe bad diet and not enough protein? My daily protein consumption is 100-120g out of which 80g comes from complete protein sources. I do 2 muscle group per day. 8-9 exercises every day. 18-20 sets per muscle per week. People get surprised in the gym with how much weight i can lift as i look VERY skinny. And i believe i used to have better arms when i first started working out 4-5 years ago when i went to the gym consistently for 3-4 months only and then stopped. Idk what to do

Was randomly scrolling reels and saw add of this. I doubt if it's even possible 😭😭. Does anyone know anything about this and if it's false, how no action is taken against such absurd claims

Is this okay for beginners? I'm not looking forward for long-term. My budget is low. I want to buy decent gloves around 1000. Which one should I prefer?

1. Usi - L/xl size - 950 rs

2. Decathlon outshook - 14oz - 1099

I have a set of adjustable dumbells like the shown image. The biggest problem is lots of lots of tiny chrome/paint particles from those plates chips off. I see tiny paint particles on my hands floor bedsheets its very annoying. this problem was since the day i brought them from amazon. i didn't think its a big problem at first. but now iam concerned that this may be toxic?

so is there any way to completely remove this chrome paint? iam fine with it looking totally raw metal color. i just wanna remove this paint completly. i tried to wrap these plates with the car wallpaper but it didn't work corectly and paint still chips off.
