Carb addiction and how carbs trigger dopamine in our brain (like drugs and alcohol) are the reasons why the CICO (calories in calories out) diets fail to help lose weight long-term. Once you are 'off' the diet, you gain it all back. LCHF diets help in sustainable weight loss.

Rethinking the Indian Thali for 2026! Metabolic health doesn't mean giving up flavor—it means shifting the balance. By prioritizing protein over refined carbs, we keep insulin stable and energy high. 🔋

Machines don’t make training “less real.” They make targeting muscles more precise. Stability, better angles, safer failure, cleaner tension. Most people hate machines for the wrong reasons. Are dips better than what I'm doing in the video? Maybe. I do both but prefer this.

Gulping plain water all day isn't 'hydrating'—it’s just flushing your electrolytes. If you’re drinking 3 liters a day but still feel tired and have brain fog, you’re likely just diluting your cellular salt levels. Add a pinch of sea salt and magnesium. Feel the difference!

"Stop blaming a 'slow metabolism.' It’s rarely broken—usually just unprioritized. 3 non-negotiables for metabolic flexibility: Protein-first mornings Zone 2 cardio (build those mitochondria) Muscle mass (it’s your metabolic currency) Which is your biggest struggle?

Physical activity increases energy flow through your mitochondria and is as effective as psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for depression. I have doubts that diagnoses of "depression" are as uniform and clean as these kinds of studies assume. But the point is that when people

Working out but don’t see any changes? You might be stopping your sets too early. Feeling tired or out of breath isn’t failure. True failure is when the muscle can’t do even one more good rep. Push a little closer to that point — that’s where progress happens. 💪

The solution isn't "moderation" for a substance your body can't process. The solution is restriction. Prioritize protein and healthy fats. Earn your carbs through intense training, or don't eat them at all. Your future self will thank you

When you exceed your carb quota, you inevitably exceed your weekly calorie quota. In months, you feel sluggish. In years, your metabolic health collapses. You aren't just "eating food"; you're feeding a cycle of dependence.

Recent ICMR–INDIAB data shows the average Indian gets over 60% of their calories from carbs (mostly refined rice and wheat). This "Carbohydrate Overload" is the primary driver of our twin epidemics: diabetes and heart disease.

Ever wonder why you can’t stop at one biscuit or one bowl of rice? It’s not a "lack of willpower." Refined carbs cause a blood sugar spike followed by a massive insulin crash. That crash triggers "intense hunger" signals, making you overeat by default.

The "Calories In vs. Calories Out" (CICO) crowd is right—math doesn't lie. But biology is more than math; it’s chemistry. High-carb diets trigger a dopamine surge in the brain’s reward center (the nucleus accumbens) similar to other addictive substances.

If you aren't at athletic body fat levels (<12% for men, <20% for women), your cells are likely already "full." Pushing more carbs into a body that has no place to put them leads to insulin resistance—the silent precursor to Type 2 Diabetes.

The Indian Metabolic Crisis: Most Indians are "Thin-Fat". You might look slim, but your body likely stores "ectopic fat" around your liver and pancreas. This unique phenotype makes us biologically less equipped to handle a high-carb load compared to other ethnicities.

If you need whey everyday to meet your protein needs, ask yourself this: Is the problem really “lack of supplements”… or a belief system that avoids real nutrition? Whey patches a vegetarian diet. It doesn’t replace nutrient-dense food.

Male body fat & metabolic health: 8–12%: Elite insulin sensitivity. Hard to sustain. 12–15%: Metabolic sweet spot for most men. 15–20%: Insulin resistance risk rises. 20%: Chronic hyperinsulinemia, poor flexibility. <8%: Lean, but hormonally stressful long-term.

'I've got heavy bones' is a common story that overweight people will tell you to justify their weight. But this isn't biology. It's a coping story. Bone mass varies by hundreds of grams, not tens of kilos. If weight is high, it’s not your skeleton — it’s your lifestyle.

Meal timing doesn’t break thermodynamics. (Total cals still matter!) However, it changes insulin exposure, glucose handling, and appetite. That’s why it matters—especially for desk-job metabolisms. To say that only total cals matter (no matter the timing) is reductionist.

Breast milk contains approximately 50-55% calories from fat, 35-40% from lactose (milk sugar), and 5-10% from protein. That lactose percentage sounds like it would kick babies out of ketosis. Except babies remain in ketosis despite consuming significant sugar. How? Galactose

I keep hearing people say 'Nobody's dying of low protein'. You won’t die of low protein. But many end up 'existing' on low protein — and filling the rest with low-quality carbs. The result isn’t fatal. Just… flat. The body feels softer, energy feels lower, health erodes...

Most of us undereat zinc. It fuels testosterone, muscle growth, immunity & insulin signaling. Best sources: oysters, liver, mutton, chicken, fish, eggs, pumpkin + sesame seeds. Aim 20–30 mg/day if you train hard, supplement if needed. Balance copper if you push higher.
