All thanks to you panso for the awareness and push

I priotize protein as you advised on the first page of this thread, lots of eggs and portion of meat weh my remaining allotted feeding money can buy.

I seldom eat out, mostly potatoes, yam and egg sauce, rice, oat, green beans, eba with veg/okro soup occasionally, salad once in a while, addicted to tigernut + coconut...

Average of 20 push-ups 5 days a week, squats, planks, jump rope and pull-up

PinkNature:
It's crazy how I can do reasonable reps.. a guy at the gym, always tells me that 'i have inner strength'. I keep telling him that I used to be weak asf before I started lifting.

How long have you been training?

PinkNature:
It's kind of a lifestyle at development already because sometimes I feel kind of down whenever I'm not able to lift weights at least once in 3 days.

You said you don't go to the gym. What's your regime? Because you sure have a crazy chest and abs.

pansophist:
You don't need gym to loose weight and look toned. Advertisement has made people think that only gym is required to be healthy. Of course not.

You need food to burn off the fats, and gym to build muscles. But you can also build muscles at home. Push up is one. Try do like 200 pushups everyday for a month (while eating clean) , then go check youryour mirror, you'll see changes.

If you can defeat your taste (an hallmark of a strong discipline person), you'll look awesome.

The last time I was in a gym was to make enquiry, them use price pursue me

Used to play football, almost every saturdays, sometimes wednesdays from C-19 lockdown period to Nov 2022.

I do pushups religiously, crunches, planks, pull-ups, skip and squats are basically my home workout routine

PinkNature:
You're sure devoted to your push-ups, because your pecs is in good shape. Number of daily pushups?

0neal:
I am not consistent tho with the number of reps I do in a day...btw 20-30reps, sometimes I go 3sets depending on how motivated I am that day.

Lately I do more of the diamond pushup, where my hands are closely together forming a diamond shape, it's quite harder than normal shoulder length pushup.

Also pushups with my legs hanging on a higher platform, and I make sure my pecs "let me borrow ur choice of word" touch the ground to count as a rep.

Thanks for the compliment

Tiger nuts and coconuts are very healthy, their origin is fat based (in the same groupings with avocado, olives, cashew etc).

Starchy foods/carbs are not much a problem if eaten in a healthy way (eg home cooked). Fast food chicken for example will make you obese, even though chicken in itself is a super healthy food.

Preparation is everything.

Your eaten patterns is nice. Just keep being physically active and compliment it with exercise always. Add skipping rope to your workout regime, or if you live in a building with staircase, run up and down.

PinkNature:
I'll incorporate push-ups to my daily routine for a month (January). I'll do the diamond as well inclined and declined. I'm aiming for 50 pushups for each variation that I mentioned earlier.

Then I'll post a before Vs after picture.

Noted

Read its the kind of oil those fast food companies use for their fries that makes it unhealthy, they hardly ever change the oil the recommended time, and reheating and cooling change the oil to Trans fat that have not easily breakable bond in the food it was fried with.

The journey continues 2024 and beyond

pansophist:
Yes. The preparation is very bad. The foods are factory produced in mass, and the source is equally corrupt.

Just put on YouTube "how fries/burger/pizza are made", to see the poison people eat daily, and they are shocked why they are fat and sluggish.

To make it worse, they now brainwash many that they are free to eat anthow, just buy slim tea, green tea, or fat loss tea and you'll lose weight

See Chidinma will swallow 30cm pizza with oregano and barbeque sauce, then waste extra cash for slim tea, to further deceive herself that she is "working on her weight"

When all she does is make these businesses rich, as they laugh at the utter stupidity and pitiable situation of their customers.

Welcome to 21st century capitalism.

Please 🙏 check my predicament.

I have been in the game of losing and gaining fat for at least a decade. As a former university fitness fine boy, I have seen so much wrong information on the internet, especially money-hungry social media thieves (aka influencers) that prey on people's ignorance to make money.

So if you have problems/questions about losing fat/gaining muscles, drop them here, and I will handle it. I will delve into the science of how food relates to your body. And guess what? for free.

Lorayne:
Can you build muscle while losing fat?

pansophist:
Yes. And that's the ideal way.

Lorayne:
How can someone go about that?

Ahijo1990:
@Pansophist

Chief, I have a question. Is it advisable to take supplements (creatine specifically) while gyming? Any benefits? Any side effects?

I have been lifting consistently for about 14 months now.

pansophist:
I will not advice that. I have never used supplement before, so dont know much about it,

I prefer the natural way. Just eat healthy, and eat a lot of it.

pansophist:
Yes. And that's the ideal way.

Mandela27:
Yeah and also I believe he will look well built also.

Boss please I really want ur opinion on an issue that is bothering me about my relationship.Youre one of the mature men I respect ur wisdom so much here .

So I and my girl have been dating for 6ix months now with lots of love, attention and just looking very perfect,until she traveled for Christmas and came back,that's when I started losing trust,she gave her number to a guy that helped her reduced her load so that the bus driver won't charge her much,so in appreciation,she gave her number to him and the day she came back,the guy called her and I asked who he was,and she told me ,I wasn't okay with it and I told her,she said I shouldn't worry myself about anything that she already told the guy that she has someone,as we were still talking on this same issue,she got a text from the same guy that "he loves her",I just turned and sleep,meanwhile she didn't pick the call when he called, now she said she didn't know that kind of thing was in his mind,fast forward now,my girl starts putting her phone on silent and staying outside to talk to this same guy,sometimes when she doesn't pick,he calls her sister's line and she will take the phone and go out to talk to him.
Now, yesterday I asked her if she has any plans with him,cus on my own,I feel she just want some money to complete her rent that will be due this month cus I've been out of job for some months now,I gave her half of it last month,but I'm not really sure of her reason of talking with this guy,so she said I should give her 3 days,she will explain everything to me,and I should not over rhink anything.I suggested a break yesterday cus I don't like the way I feel about the whole thing but she started crying that I should just calm down she will explain things to me,I'm just confused,my one time over clingy woman is now dividing my attention,I've told her if she can't keep up,we should part ways so that I can focus on my life....we are already planning to go see her people in some months time,I already showed her to my own parents, this same girl loved me perfectly before I made the decision of settling with her,but now things are beginning to look some how

Bro still waiting for your pictures

Hope you still in the game??

PinkNature:
still on it. I'm a terrible hard gainer

I need to go on a protein calorie surplus if I ever hope to build muscles.

0neal:
Protein ain't pocket friendly these days

But if you can please increase your protein intake...

Muscles are built in the kitchen mostly
Proper diet is like 70% while hitting the gym & a sprinkle of cardio 30%

But you still owe us a pix tho, no excuse🫡
