Food Control

Controlling food habits is vital to the success of a bodybuilding regimen. The choice of exercises and supplement requirements too. But all the bodybuilding and exercising coaches say that food is the most important ingredient(supplements included) to workout on. The physical workouts comes a distant second in this race of importance in exercising.
First things first. Are gym supplements approved by FDA? I searched for it in Google. And the answer is "Food Supplements are approved by FDA".
I was early in recognizing the needs of supplements to my gymnasium workouts. Soy, whey, were felt to be absolutely necessary to continue gymnasium. But one thing I could not fathom is the fact that my regular meals too have to be reduced and changed by a very large margin. Now, I do not have too much strength and the food I ate at that point of time was essential to do one hour of gym and feel normal the whole day. Looking back, while considering my strength I will say that I must get a B- in eating habits while doing gym workouts.
I was also too much into cardio earlier on. Presently I feel the reverse. Weights seems better, though cardio is still felt to be essential to round off a gym session.
There may be many ways to control eating habits. Being disciplined on six days and having one day for cheat meals is the suggested method of bodybuilding.com. In India, many people swear by yogic food habits and some tend to totally avoid carbs and fat.  Both the above methods are not suitable to me. I find "eating the same food every day" to be the most inspiring. For the last so many days I have been eating peanut spread sandwiches for breakfast and 3 cups of rice for dinner. The regularity in food is what I like the most. You may say, "I get a good night sleep because I shall be eating peanut spread sandwiches the next day morning".
 

A fresh beginning to a new day, everyday

The bodybuilding saga continues. Whey, creative, bcaa and Amway protein are consumed. Regular food is disciplined. I am feeling absolutely different now. I get into calorie deficit every day. My health band and internet on calorific value of food says thus.
The exercise session at gym is for one hour. 40 minutes of weights and 20 minutes of cardio. I feel better this way. Though neither the weights or cardio is intense, nevertheless I feel worked out. Decreasing primes workout of 11,7,5,3 reps is effective and is recommended. My most powerful muscle is quads(thighs) at 190 pounds. My hams is 105. My biceps 54. My triceps and chest (chest press) at 50 etc.
I look forward to gymnasium enthusiastically.

The rule of the quality circle was; the CEO will give a seed number. Udit, being a finance specialist will increase the seed number by 10% and then approximate to the nearest integer and pass the number obtained to Naresh. Naresh should reduce the number obtained from Udit by 10% and then approximate to the nearest integer and pass the number obtained to Kumar. Kumar should keep the number unchanged and pass it to Pradeep. Pradeep should double the number obtained from Kumar and pass it on to Yogesh. Yogesh should multiply the number obtained from Kumar by 2 and subtract the number Udit passed to Naresh and return back the result back to CEO.
