Low-Calorie Healthy Snacks For Gym Enthusiasts

0

We’ve all got the same idea in mind when it comes to the worst part about being on a diet. It’s those nasty hunger pangs and cravings that you can’t avoid. So, you either end up cheating on your diet or quitting it all together! Dieticians have suggested some interesting, healthy and tasty snacks for those looking to shed those pounds. The key is to go back to nature instead of opting for sweet, salty chips, caramel popcorn and the like. You can do that by choosing any of these items.

1. Almonds

Almonds

Often considered to be natures wonder pill, the almond is full of protein, fibres and fats as well – but the healthy kind! It’s also a good source of vitamin E too and a good addition to your diet if you want blemish free, pretty skin too.
Top Tip: A bag of almonds may be too boring. You can spice things up by mixing almonds with dried apricots, dates and a very small portion of dark chocolate chips. Yes, you heard that right; dark chocolate, its actually healthy but we’ll come back to that later.

2. Citrus Fruits

Citrus Fruits

Dieticians suggest grapefruits, but since you won’t easily find this fruit anywhere, you can substitute it with lemon and other citrus fruits – the tangier, the better. Oranges, amla, pomelo, limes, sweet limes, kiwis and pineapples are a few of those substitutes. Eat them as is or squeeze them into a glass of fresh juice.
Try This: Balance out that extra tanginess by adding honey to the glass. Reduce bloating by adding three tablespoons of honey to the glass to hot water with the juice of 2 limes.

3. Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate

Remember how we said that chocolate can be good for diets? Apparently unsweetened, dark chocolate is ideal for your heart, blood sugar levels and your waistlines. It’s all about moderation. Look for a bar that says 70% cocoa. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids that trigger ghrelin and insulin, the two things responsible for controlling diet. So, you’re actually suppressing your diet.
What To Do: Enjoy it by adding dark chocolate chips to the almond mix we suggested earlier, or make yourself a sweet treat that you can enjoy once a week after dinner!

4. Popcorn

Popcorn

You may be thinking: how popcorn? It’s low in fat and very high in fibre, just make sure you stick with the unsalted, unflavoured variety – so skip out on butter, caramel and any other flavouring agent that’s added later.
Try It Out: Simply go to the store and pick up a bag or microwave popcorn, keeping in mind what we just told you.

5. Yoghurt or Curd

yogurt

When you diet and exercise to lose weight, your body goes through a lot of changes that might not be good for your stomach. Yoghurt is packed with healthy probiotics, a bacteria strain that’s good for your intestine. You also get calcium and fibre when you mix granola, apples, bananas in it.
Easy Snack Fix: You can get this at your local dairy supply, fill a bowl with granola or sliced fruits, mix in some yoghurt and sweeten with honey.

6. Dried fruits

Dried fruitsIt’s the only source of sugar that’s suited to your body. They’re filled with loads of fibre that make you feel full and suppress cravings later on. They also contain a healthy dose of potassium, magnesium, iron and other essential minerals and vitamin mixes that you won’t get with your regular diet.
What To Do: How do you enjoy this? You can get dried fruits in the market. Simply mix with almonds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and enjoy.

7. Chickpeas

Chickpeas

Speaking of a regular diet, those chickpeas that you probably already have can be roasted and eaten as it is. They have higher fibre content and just like dried fruits make you feel fuller for longer.
Smart Tip: You can even boil and add them to your favourite chaats, salads or use the powdered variety with your smoothies and shakes.

8. Chaats

Chaat
Since they’re spicy, they are often viewed as being bad for any diet. Spicy foods are known to increase internal body heat, helping you to literally burn fat faster. Chaats consist of healthy stuff like also, salt, chaat masala, lime, dhania, tomato, onion, chillies and imli juice. So you really are getting a mega serving of healthy veggies in one go. So, think about it, is it really all that bad for you?
Double Burner: Chaats can be boosted by adding yoghurt to make papdi chaat, just skip out on the papdis are they’re fried. Or steam, boil American sweet corn, and all of the above veggies, if you’d like to steer clear of aloo. While corn and aloo chaats will always be a favourite, you can try these other recipes too.

9. Fresh fruits

Fresh fruits
If you think natural and simple is best: well, you couldn’t be further from the truth. People who need to lose a lot of weight may be put on a very strict diet, therefore limiting their options. This snack may even be good for gym nuts, who want more energy for exercises. This is where your favourite fruits come to the rescue. With the right amount of spice, you could boost your metabolism and burn calories. Cut slices of ripe yellow mango: the one you get in summers and sprinkle chilli powder on it. Enjoyed best as a salad or juice. Try the sweet version by chopping up sweet mangoes, chill and sprinkle cinnamon instead if you have sensitive skin and have to stay away from spicy foods.

10. Seed Mixes

Seed MixesThese normally consist of a range of flax, chia, sesame, sunflower, buckwheat seeds with additional flavouring herbs like mint, spearmint, ajwain, jeera seeds. It’s the ultimate weight watch snack because it combines all the benefits of the foods described above. Protein, fibre, vitamin complexes and even omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
Seed Power: The best part is that you can make your own combination based on what you need. For weight loss, you need chia, quinoa, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and flax seeds mixed with spearmint. It’s easier to eat when you roast everything. Sprinkle on chaats, salads, smoothies or eat it as is.

11. Sprouts

sprout-vegetables
Common in Indian diets, this is a mix of partially germinated chickpeas, brown channa, rajma, bean and moong seeds. They have very high fibre and some minerals too, that only appear inside these pulses when they have begun germinating.
Plant Power: Have them as a salad, mixed up with other chopped veggies like onion, tomatoes, sandwiches, burgers. Add some chaat masala, imli juice for good measure!

Who says snacks are just for the kids? It’s for the adults too when you’re hungry but need to keep those pounds off. These snacks right here are the good ones, and help you to get that extra nutrition that you might be missing out on. Choose anyone you like, or make an equation of two or more snacks ideas and start lowering that calorie count today.

Getting bored isn’t an option when everything around you facilitates you with boatloads of entertainment options. About 10 years back we were bound by the operators and they had the power to make us watch whatever they like. Set Max had probably aired  “sooryavansham” more than they had DDLJ shows at Maratha Mandir.

The recent internet surge in India had enabled us to access the web like never before and India had become a great investment option for companies providing web-based services. So, young India has different demands and likes to live on their terms. Thus, we don’t prefer stereotypical shows like “Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi” over something as exhilarating as “Game of Thrones”. And all the content is spread across tangled networks cables and stack of servers. Let’s dive deep into how one can access the best web content and keep them entertained.

Amazon is yet another video streaming service where the viewers get a wide range of web content to choose from. Like Netflix, Amazon has also curated a huge list of original content in its library. Shows like Bosch, Catastrophe, The Man in the High Castle, The Grand Tour, Sneaky Pete, and The Tick are are just as creative and original as their rival. Amazon’s Prime Video subscription allows users to watch shows from some famous networks like HBO, CBS All Access, Cinemax, Showtime, etc. The videos can be watched over High Quality, 4k, and HDR video formats and contain the option to download and watch later, just like any other reputed platform.

Conversation With The Candid: T-series’ head – PewDiePie Vs. T-series

0

So the great YouTube war seems to come to an end now as T-series has dethroned PewDiePie to become the most subscribed channel in the world. The battle between the two was quite intense as far as PewDiePie’s side was concerned. He tried everything to stop T-series but as Bhushan Kumar, the Managing Director of T-series, says no amount of spamming will be able to hold back the power of good music, PewDiePie wasn’t able to beat the Indian record label.

All the activism of PewDiePie fans, more popularly known as pewds, were in vain. They did everything from hacking The Wall Street Journal’s website, damaging the Brooklyn War Memorial to the recent Christchurch terrorist incidents and much more. This matter is much more complex than it seems. But you can learn everything about it in one of my previous articles.

Now let’s get to what this article is for. In a recent interview with The Quartz India, T-series’ head, Bhushan Kumar said that they are going to strengthen T-series’ digital offerings’ as they near the 100 million subscribers mark in YouTube. He talks about how important churning out good content is and how a rise in the sale of smartphones and a decrease in the cost of mobile data has resulted in huge profits to the company. Let’s have a quick look at what the said during the interview

He said that he was never in this scuffle to be the numero uno youtube channel. He launched the #BharatWinsYouTube campaign in order to respond to the sarcastic comments from PewDiePie and his fans. He also stated that this status of T-series doesn’t change anything on the company’s commercial front. He also said that with these developments however T-series is getting promoted in countries which earlier didn’t use to watch them.

Another power for T-series’ success is nationalism, yes people subscribe to T-series for because its an Indian company and they want to make them hit the top, which to me should not be a criterion for choosing anyone between T-series and PewDiePie. Both of them are best in their own fields.

How much does T-series earn from YouTube?

T-series’ about 60-70% revenue comes from what the company calls “non-physical” sources which basically are online platforms including YouTube, and other music streaming apps that include JioSaavn, Spotify, Gaana, Airtel Wynk, Apple Music among others. These sources exclude TV and radio. Partnerships of T-series with these music streaming apps had been there since 2005. At that time the motive was more to promote caller tunes.

T-series is going to make web series?

TV subscription

Bhushan Kumar said that they are also into making good content for web series. Though, this process is in its initial state and will take some time. They take Hotstar, Amazon Prime, and Netflix as good platforms to host shows. For now, they don’t have investment numbers to give.

What about Bollywood films?

For Bollywood films, the company has got 20-25 good content-driven film projects. Major actors that will be starring in these films include Ajay Devgan and Ranbir Kapoor. And the budget for films this year is around 500-600 crores INR. The company has movies like Bharat, Taanaji: The Unsung WarriorDe De Pyaar De, and Bhuj: The Pride Of India.

Will digital media kill TV and cinemas?

Bhushan Kumar has the view that due to decreased prices of mobile data in India, smartphone usage has risen rapidly. He thinks that digital media has got a bright future in India. He believes that irrespective of medium, good content is going to win the game.

Movie Tickets are expensive than what digital platforms offer. Shouldn’t the price at movie theatre be reduced?

He says that digital platforms are priced cheaper because they have an advertisement-led business model, which means they get much income from advertisements also. But for theatres, they work on occupancy levels. Even if there are 15-20 people they have to run the show for them. So, increasing prices is not a solution. Also, theatres claim they do not make much money, but their valuations are on the higher side. I am not in the theatre business, so I’d rather not point out what the exact dynamics are.

In the end, he also showed concern about the poor physical and mental health that smartphones are causing. He also admitted that he spends much time on his smartphone to watch promos of his songs, trailers and other stuff. He added that overuse of anything is harmful.

5 Psychological Facts That Will Restore Your Beauty

0

Many people who opt for the external beauty of an individual in terms of the complexion, the shape of the body and the overall looks. Psychologically none can ensure the permanent stay of one’s beauty in its original state forever, not to talk of its endurance even for a limited period. The beautiful appearance of everyone is destined to fade away in an unforeseen manner. Its also depends upon one’s ability to withstand certain external pressures and adverse developments brought to bear upon by changing conditions that directly affect the living styles.

1. Results in Beauty

None of us can succeed in ordering the beauty to stay in its present condition or in maintaining it to our expectations any longer than destined by God. Man can make a certain resolve to carry out a thing, but there could be no guarantee that he will fulfill the same. It is this natural outcome which is capable of causing psychological fears since psychological imbalance is the byproduct of one’s failure to execute his plans. Well, this proven fact demands that we should choose what is everlasting. Whenever we firmly apply our mind upon something, those quality tends to fade away over time. Disappointment could only be the outcome. To overcome heartaches, our order of preferences should settle down to the genuine beauty of the individual which is the beauty of the heart.

2. Choice in Beauty

In this world of fast-changing nature, not many people can claim to have a beautiful heart. A beautiful heart will make the selection of its choice once for all and will steadfastly stand by it against all the odds, come what may. For a genuine heart, which is the rare gift of the nature, the determination to face all challenges that counter its fair approaches and to fight them out with all the powers at its disposal and emerge victorious against the perpetrators is well within the possibility, because it upholds all virtues provided by the nature and proceeds to suffer every sacrifice that comes in the way with a single-minded devotion. None on earth will be able to resist such a resolution, backed up an unwavering spirit to implement it which is what human psychology is all about.

3. Demand in Beauty

Those who run after the fleeting beauty, for all the practical reasons are illusory, will be forced to accept inevitable in the long run. Human psychology requires the protection of the long-range interest forever, and all those who seek short term gains suffer the adverse psychological impact. Such impact begins to make its offensive, felt directly attacking the physical and mental faculties. Such instances are experienced by groups and individuals whose aims and intentions rest upon agreed.

4. Creation of Beauty

As the creations of God, everyone has an external beauty unusual to that particular person. If God has created all people similar to each other, it will place a serious impediment in the matter of recognizing one’s idol from among the multi crores that inhabit the vast universe. Hence, what God has done in the matter of gifting people with different shapes and complexions is to facilitate easy recognition between two relatives, friends or acquaintances. If we go deeper into the aspect of the beauty of the human being, we will at once find that it the rarest kind of the inner beauty which is capable of standing all forms of trials. All else will fade into insignificance where contentment, happiness, and peace as the real blessings of life are concerned.

5. The Temptation of Beauty

Beauty is a subject of temptation. Thus, beauty is an illusion enslaved by such impersonation. When a person of 60 years undergoes an expert make-up, the looks resemble that of a 16-year-old in elegance and youth. The only difference lies between commonsense and tempting values. The eyes mislead, and the heart compels the mind to play a submissive role. It is sheer conquest to a dominant force that competes with boldness to draw the onlooker into its fold. It is the lack of proper judgment which brings into focus the game of hide and seek. It is a fact in everyone’s life, and yet most people are victims of such tempting beauties. There is nothing like beautiful and ugly beyond a false feeling which takes the better of the human mind thereby causing a casualty.

I am nobody to exhort anyone, and my sphere is limited to providing appropriate guidelines to the written subject. It is up to the readers to follow what exactly I meant and understand my views.

Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4 Quick Recap!

0

So episode 4 was aired on this Sunday and if you haven’t caught up with the show you yet, I’d recommend you to watch the episode first before as there are spoilers coming up. So let’s begin with the breakdown of episode 4 of the final season of Game of Thrones.

Funeral For The Fallen

The episode starts with funeral to all the brave soldiers who fought bravely and died in the battle of Winterfell which includes Theon, Lynna, Ser jorah, Eddie, barrack and Dolores. Soon after the funeral to the fallen warriors, we could see the feast in the celebration of winning the Great War against the night king and his dead army.

Gendry Assigned the Lord of the Storms

This was Daenerys calls Gendry and name him Gendry Baratheon the lord of the storm. Even though, Gendry is bastard to Robert Baratheon and had no interest in becoming the lord of the storm It reminds me of the Jon he was also a bastard and never cared for power or any title to fight for the right cause.

Tormound talks about Jon's Courage and Strenght

I think Gendry would be good king as he is unlike his father Robert Baratheon who misused his powers for self needs. During the celebration, Tormund and northerners talk about Jon’s courage and strength and how he cares about his people. I think Jon is perfectly fit for becoming the Kings of seven kingdoms as he has all the great qualities as one great king should have. With Joy and contentment, Gendry asks Arya to be his Lady of the Storms but she refused the offer saying “that’s not me” and soon parts of with the hound to head towards the king’s landings

Daenerys 's rising concern about how northerners respect Jon

Further, we could see Daenerys ‘s rising concern about how northerners respect Jon and how they would likely want to see Jon be king of the iron throne even though Daenerys wants herself to be the ruler of the Iron Throne. We could see Daenerys and Jon having the conversation about their future and how Daenerys wants Jon not to tell his secret to anyone and not even Sansa and Arya. But very the next morning, Jon meets with Arya, Sansa and Brand ask to swear Sansa and Arya to never to tell the secret to anyone. But soon after Jon asks Brand to share his story and Sansa almost immediately breaks her promise and shares Jon’s secret to Tyrion.

Varies breakly speaks about how Jon’s story is not a secret

Tyrion shares it with Varies and now the words spread more fasters than ever. Varies breakly speaks about how Jon’s story is not a secret but a piece of vital information that could save what’s remaining after the battle of Winterfell. Both Tyrion and Varys believe that Jon should be the one to become the rightful ruler but Daenerys seems to be on the opposite side.

Even though Daenerys has freed many slaves and saved many people from deaths but she has some darkness and Brutalness which is quite similar to the father Aerys Targaryen but however, Jon would never fight for the iron throne but instead he’ll fight beside his love Daenerys to get what she deserves.

If Daenerys becomes the ruler of the seven kingdoms, then prophecy which was told once told to young cerise by a witch in woods would become true that a young queen would take over her kingdom. Even though both Cersei and Daenerys grew up for lust of power of becoming the queen of the iron throne which changes their characters based on what they had gone through to reach where they are now.

So much for the breaker of the chains

Continuing with the Episode, We see Daenerys travelling to Dragonstone with her iron fleet but her fleet was ambushed by Euron’s fleet. The ambush attack results in, Daenerys fleet getting destroyed, Missandei getting captured and Daenerys losing her dragon Rhaegal by a scorpion. Qyburn who is the hand of the Queen has re-engineered the scorpion weapon and now we can see the weapon guarding the gates of king’s landing. We have already seen how deadly is a scorpion in the previous season and now with one dragon left with Daenerys, it would be even more hard to fight in a war against Cersei.

An oppotunity to surrender

Coming towards, the end of the episode, we can Daenerys, with small her small troops coming up with a deal to prevent the war, a deal that Cersei really care about but results in Missandei getting executed by the hands of the mountain. As far as we know Cersei is backed by the biggest army and she will not simply back down in the war without the fight. So here was the breakdown of Episode 4 of Game of Thrones Season 8 and if you’ve missed the previous episode you can read here!

0
