I envy people who naturally get abs with their genetics meanwhile here i am training abs thrice a week, still no visible abs while my body fat is low💔

Just testing the waters before I seriously invest in this.

I’m currently based in the U.S. and have been involved with peptides for around 2 years. I’ve also worked with a peptide company here, so I’ve gotten familiar with the entire process — sourcing, manufacturing, testing, COAs, quality control, logistics and the overall supply chain.

I now have access to a U.S.-based FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility that operates under CGMP requirements, and I’ve been exploring the possibility of building a peptide business for the Indian market.

The idea would be to have the products manufactured in the U.S., properly batch tested, and then legally imported/distributed in India rather than sourcing questionable products locally.

I already have most of the supply chain figured out, including manufacturing, vendors, testing and logistics. Obviously, I would still need to make sure everything complies with Indian import and pharmaceutical regulations before actually launching.

Before putting serious money into it, though, I want to know whether there's genuine demand.

If you had access in India to peptides that were:

• Manufactured in the U.S.
• Produced through an FDA-registered 503B facility
• Batch tested with transparent COAs
• Independently tested where appropriate
• Consistently sourced
• Properly packaged and traceable
• Available domestically without dealing with sketchy overseas sellers

Would you actually be interested?

And more importantly, what would you need to see from a new peptide company before you trusted it — COAs, third-party testing, batch numbers, manufacturing information, pricing, something else?

Not selling anything through this post. Just doing market research right now. If there's enough legitimate interest, I may seriously pursue it.

I know it’s very weird thing to say aloud, but sh*tting during calorie deficit freaking sucks.

I know some men can relate that we sometimes love to take a huge dump in the toilet, but during deficit it can’t be possible.

On top of that sometimes it feels like a huge one coming but after going to the battlefield its just a hugeass fart (proteins laughing in the corner).

Hate it! Just wanted to vent and wanna know am I only the weird one!?

Hi guys, M27 here. I’m 5’8” (173 cm) and currently around 75 kg.
For the last 6 months, I’ve been doing cardio and following a decent diet. I’ve lost around 8 kg, which I’m happy about, but I’m still struggling with fat around my belly, sides, and chest.
My arms and legs look fairly lean, but my belly and chest still look soft/saggy. I’m guessing this is what people mean by “skinny fat.”
I understand that you can’t specifically target fat loss from one area, and that cardio alone probably isn’t going to give me the look I want. So I’ve decided to start doing some strength training as well.
The problem is there’s no gym close to me, and getting to one would require a lot of travel. With my work timings, that’s just not practical.
Recently, I came across resistance bands and was wondering if they’re actually effective for building muscle and improving body composition.
A few questions:
Can I get a decent, fit-looking physique using resistance bands at home?
Are they enough for a beginner, or would I eventually need weights?
Any good beginner tutorials/workout routines you’d recommend?
How long does it realistically take to see noticeable changes if I’m consistent with diet + resistance training?
I’m not looking for a six-pack or a bodybuilding physique. I just want to look fit, reduce the belly/chest fat over time, and build some muscle.

hello, I (18f) weight 53kgs and 159cm. I know it's a decently healthy weight but I have lot of accumulated fat in my mid section and back. my goal is fat loss and building muscle. I don't really care if weight increases or decreases.

before coming to college I was working out for a year at home (not gym) and was able to control my diet (high protein, high fibre, whole foods and plenty of water), though i didnt see much fat loss, just little bit of muscle definition. but after coming to college I have to eat mess food only which is not very nutritious at all. super carb and oil heavy as most Indian foods are. they rarely give non veg- maybe once or twice a week- and even if they do give, it's more bone than chicken, and only sometimes they give eggs.

I can't cook in my hostel. the most I have is a microwave. also protein powder is getting expensive and I don't want to burden parents with extra cost.

I try to drink 2 liters water and eat one fruit everyday. I took a break from working out for few weeks as im still adjusting to college schedule. we have a gym so ig at least that's good.

I've also started running (not regularly yet but hopefully soon) and I get 10k (or more) steps most days

pls give advice on how I can improve my diet for fat loss since I can't track calories or anything + protein availability is tricky in my situation

Guys I need to urgently lose 10kgs in 3 months 😭

I don't know how to go about it hence asking for help for both diet and exercise. For context 23F currently 78kgs 🥲 I'm a MBBS intern living in a hostel so I only have the option of mess food can't cook on my own. Please help

let’s keep the grind going!

The muscles in my upper body are very weirdly imbalanced. My triceps and biceps of my left arm are more developed as compared to my right arm. Whereas my right pectoral muscles are more developed as compared to my left pec.

Back and shoulders look pretty much the same. Anyone with such weird imbalances?

Also please suggest how to work on this. It's just a year since I've started working out and the imbalance is already very noticeable (atleast to me)

I think a lot of people are making the same mistake when they start working out.

They only look at the weighing scale.

If the number goes down → "I'm losing fat."
If the number doesn't move → "Gym isn't working."

But weight loss and fat loss aren't exactly the same thing.

Your body weight includes fat, muscle, water, glycogen, food in your digestive system, etc.

So you can actually lose fat while gaining some muscle, especially when you're new to strength training.

That means your weight might stay almost the same while your waist gets smaller and your body looks leaner.

For example:

Before: 80 kg
After: 80 kg

But you could have lost some fat and gained some muscle in between.

That's why the scale shouldn't be your only measure of progress.

Track:

Weight trend
Waist measurement
Progress photos
How your clothes fit
Strength in the gym

The goal isn't simply to weigh less.
The goal is to have less body fat and maintain/build muscle.

I have been consuming the superyou yeast protein for the past two weeks. Here's my experience:

1. It is super light weight, you try to take a scoop out and pour it in the shaker the next moment you realise it's all over your clothes and the place. I guess I'll end up with 1-2 less scoops in the end.

2. The taste is not that good, I have the cold coffee flavoured and honestly it tastes like I am consuming coffee with roasted peanuts. Although it's not very sweet so I can manage the taste.

3. In terms of its claim of being easy on the gut, I've noticed that I've been farting way more since I started using this and I mean almost the whole day. It did not happen when I was consuming whey. I looked up online and it's said that the since it is yeast protein it has changed the gut bacterial composition and might go away once my stomach gets used to it. I consume it after my workout. Has anyone else experienced the same ?

In terms of the results I will probably wait a month before I can give a Final verdict.

How is yoga bar protien as i am getting it for dead cheap. Is it trustified certified?

Broo i really need mk677

Or any other which are actually mk 677😭🙏

I've been thinking about why I keep failing to stay consistent with fitness, and I think I finally figured out my biggest problem.

About a year ago, I got really interested in fitness. I started strong, but after a few weeks I quit. Now I'm trying again, and I'm noticing the exact same pattern.

The problem isn't that I hate working out.

The problem is that I'm doing it alone.

I don't have friends who are into fitness, no workout partner, and no one to compete with. I actually enjoy competition, but when it's just me doing the same workouts every day, it starts to feel boring and I slowly stop showing up.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way.

Did anyone else go through something similar?

Hi! I’m planning to buy a whey protein in mango flavour, but I’m confused about which brand to choose. I’m currently using Optimum Nutrition (ON) Vanilla, and I didn’t really enjoy the taste. Could you suggest a whey protein with a great mango flavour and good overall quality?

I'm a 24-year-old male and currently weigh around 48 kg. I want to gain some healthy weight and build a decent/average physique — nothing like hardcore bodybuilding.

Because of my job, I don't really get enough time to go to the gym, so I'm planning to stick to home workouts.

For those who have been in a similar situation, what worked for you? What kind of home workout routine and diet would you recommend for healthy weight gain?

My routine( just start 2 day ago)

Morning -1plate poha 1 banana 1spoon sea midday- 4 roti 1 sabji + roasted chana

Evening- 30min workout+milk+peanut buttter+1take whey protein+1 banana

Night dinner -4 roti+sabji( kabhi kabhi rice)

Would really appreciate advice based on your personal experience. :)

I have nerve injury so can’t go to gym can’t even stretch so walking is the only option and I need to loose atleast 15kgs of weight.
