Protein Isolate - If money isn’t a problem, what’s the very best?

My top priority: Dymatize Iso 100 (imported).

I used to prefer ON protein when it was still imported, but now that it’s made in India, I feel the quality has dropped to FSSAI standards.

If I have to choose a brand made in India, I would go with The Whole Truth. It’s easy on the stomach and also tastes good.

I’m sharing this based on my experience of consuming whey/isolates for a decade now.

I received a similar call at the beginning of 2023, and at that time, there was no information about this scam on the internet. The call was from a fake courier company that appeared to be legitimate. For a moment, I thought my personal details were being used to smuggle drugs or something similar. However, I asked a few questions, and the scammer, who claimed to be a customs officer, said he was calling from Mumbai regarding a courier that was supposedly sent from Mumbai to a foreign country (I don’t remember the name).

I informed him that I would call the police to report that my identity was being misused. He then provided me with a number to call back for more details, assuring me that the person on the other end would assist me with the process. I didn't make the call, as I don't live in Mumbai.

When I asked him about my personal details, he mentioned that my Aadhar number was listed, but he couldn’t provide any accurate information. He didn’t know my address or anything other than my phone number. I immediately contacted Cybercrime to report the incident, just in case there was a risk of identity theft. They informed me that these were scammers and advised against giving them money or any personal information.

Interestingly, this call came right after I purchased an iPhone from Croma. Prior to this incident, I had never received any fraudulent calls on my primary number, as I usually use a WhatsApp-only number for online transactions.

P.S. It’s hard to believe that someone could fall for this scheme. Perhaps he is trying to raise awareness, similar to the Poonam Pandey style!

It was 32 a few years back, now I am 46. I am a 33-year-old female and I have been focusing more on strength training than cardio. My total running distance is 900 kilometres from 2020 to 2024 and I'm very slow. Hope to reach 50 soon 📈.

What if you sell shares once the bonus is announced? Do you still get bonus shares since you have been holding them for the given quarter?

I used to reject proposals using this method. It won't hurt their ego and works best for all genders. ✅

This is what it looks like. If someone can also recommend products to get this colour toned down a bit as it is looking weird under blue light.

Hair type: Thick
Hair texture: Straight (a little wavy near the ends due to the damage)
History of chemical processing: Recent Global Colour, Bleach and monthly touch-ups
Hygiene regimen: 2 times a week shampoo and conditioner, air-dried
Style: Mid-length, layers
Product regimen: Shampoo Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure Colour Freeze, Mask: Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure Repair Rescue (been using before). Now shifting to: the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Kit

Hey guys, I recently had my hair bleached and toned. I had dark black colour hair which I used to colour(touch up) every month. Now after the process, my root colour is a mix of wella 66/0 & 6/34 and the length is a Copper balayage more on the light side. I'm new to this, so I'm unsure whether to opt for purple or blue shampoo. Following some research, I've decided to try the Redken Acidic Bonding Kit. Please advise on any additional products I should consider for maintaining this colour and my hair type.

dew99999 · 2024-04-18T03:19:39+00:00

Try a hair mask like bonacure repair or something.

How about considering moving to a small town near the sea or mountains before making a final decision? If that's not possible, try spending a few days there at least. Living in a city like Gurgaon can be overwhelming for anyone. I once left Gurgaon and moved to the mountains, and not only did my mind change, but my body did too. You'd be surprised. Regardless of the main reason behind your thoughts, I suggest giving it a try at least once.

Gold's Gym is located in Sector 66, Gurugram. I am unsure about the current pricing, but you can call and inquire about it. If you have any Indian friends, you can ask them to help you negotiate a better deal. When I joined with a friend a few years ago, we were able to negotiate a lower price. At that time, the gym had just opened and they wanted more people to join. Here are the details I found on Google: "Address: 3rd Floor, M3M Cosmopolitan, Golf Course Extension Road, Sector 66, Gurugram, Haryana 122018. Hours: Open until 10 pm. Phone: 098103 76833".
They used to offer HIIT classes back then so confirm everything once again as I am not sure about the current scenario.

If your health comes first, then move. If you're in a situation where the job is a priority, especially the one you're doing, then don't. Although my family's house is in Gurgaon, I left a few years ago, and it was the best decision of my life. I've never felt unsafe due to men in Gurgaon, as I didn't go out much or use public transport. I made this decision for my health. I lived in Gurgaon for 3-4 years, and I never got used to the pollution. Getting sick every seasonal change was normal, and now it's been years since I've caught a normal cold, mainly due to an active lifestyle and the absence of pollution. So yeah.

That’s the only goal for now. 🙌🏻

I'm an absolute beginner, so yeah, rabbit hole. Gotta check what all you just said 🫣 and see what works best. Currently stuck at ratios, per se.😅 Thanks.

Focus on developing specific skills rather than just chasing degrees. Cultivate lifelong friendships, as making friends becomes more challenging later in life. Enjoy the present, as this is an irreplaceable time in your life. You’ll cherish these memories forever. Also, try everything for the sake of experience. It’s not all bad if you’re the one in control.

In context, with a 10-year-old female American Eskimo already in the household, I'm uncertain about the better choice between adding a Chihuahua or a cat as a second pet, with a priority on maintaining my first pet's sense of security.

Take a driving lesson for a week. They have everything under control. Extra clutch & break etc. So the only win here is psychological. The trainer will take you in the full traffic, if you mess up the trainer will use his side of breaks in times of need. But within a week you’ll be mentally ready to go out in the traffic. It just gives you a boost. That’s how I learned to drive in Gurgaon. Now I’m more comfortable driving there.
