Ramadan is almost knocking on our door, and the question keeps popping in our mind how to manage fitness with the Roza, Sehri, and Iftaar.

So a lot of us have had this question as to which is better when it comes to training- dumbbell or barbell. Some say barbell feels good while some others are dumbbell feel gooders.

Well there's no feel-good thing when it comes to stating scientific facts. So breaking the ice- it's the dumbbell who wins!

Reasons:

A good number of people perform some form of Intermittent Fasting (IF) due to a variety of reasons. Many people across the globe practice it due to religious reasons. IF is nothing but fasting done intermittently, where you consume no food/water during the fasting period.

The question that I often get while helping such clients is, “How do I manage my nutrition/training while following the fast?”

Marinate Minced Chicken with 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 lemon, salt as per taste. Add butter to pan and cook chicken with 2 tbsp cream till completely done.

Scoop mushroom and stuff chicken minced and topped with mozzarella cheese, sprinkle oregano and bake at 150 for 10 minutes.

Dont Have access to gym?? Are you a busy Mom?? 

Here comes a solution... A beginner fullbody home workout video by Shraddha and Pravin 

Deadlift tutorial:

Before you watch the video, please see the picture.

Picture 1: The stance.

Since this is a conventional deadlift, the stance is a hip width stance. The center of the foot is exactly under the bar. Shin to bar is not the right concept. You'll know why as you read further.

Picture 2: Grip.

The grip that you see here is called a dead grip. One arm is supinated (under the bar) and the other is pronated (over the bar). This gives a very strong hold. People who are comfortable with a normal grip are good to go as long as they feel strong.

Chicken /soy porcupines

Here I am giving the chicken method , you can make the same with soy chunks too .

This is chef Vikas Khanna's recipe which fits the low carb diet perfectly .

Diet is all about making food look and taste delicious even when there are limitations with the ingredients .

One needs mental as well as physiological satiety to be happy following a diet regime . A tiny imaginary chef hat and dishes look and taste out of the world .

I call this dish PIRYANI as its a poor cousin of the royal Biryani .
