According to a 2008 study in the British Journal of Nutrition, by US researchers Michael L. Power and Jay Schulkin, men and women differ in the patterns of fat deposition, fat mobilisation, utilisation of fat as a metabolic fuel, and the consequences of both excess and insufficient fat storage. These differences in fat storage and fat burn begin early in life and are further strengthened during puberty. These differences stem from metabolic and hormonal differences between the sexes and contribute to differences between women and men in health risks attributable to obesity.

I have told this before, and there is never a harm in repeating the fact that there is no profession called a dietician, it’s an on-demand, self-made profession. The profession is always a clinical nutritionist which caters for pediatric cases, serious medical conditions, post-surgery diets, etc. and are employed by the major hospitals in the country, or have an independent practice. Then there is the Sports Nutritionist, who designs dietary protocols for top athletes depending on the sports. But weight loss dieticians, what the hell do they do? Make you stupid like them.

When was the last time you actually walked barefoot on a beach, in a park, or on sand? For most people, the last time was actually…… well, you don’t even remember. Today, we are literally disconnected from the barefoot walking and the mother earth.

One of the most common questions of gym-goers is what’s the difference between front squats vs back squats. Squatting is one of the primary human movement patterns. Squat as such is a closed chain kinetic chain movement, which has a direct transfer to various sporting movements, as well as movements in our everyday life. Weighted squats are majorly used in strength & conditioning in various sports, gyms, etc. as a basic exercise.

Most bodybuilders would love to be called a powerlifter, but the vice versa is not true. I have observed this over the years between bodybuilders vs powerlifters. If you say to a bodybuilder that he looks pretty big and strong like a powerlifter, he generally takes it as a compliment. But, try saying to a powerlifter that you are quite muscular and look like a bodybuilder, the look he gives you is as if you are the reason for him not improving his squat.
