Weight loss - Muscle building - Protein


Why you need Protein ?

Thermogenesis is the natural increase in the energy your body uses after eating. Protein causes a higher rate of dietary thermogenesis than other nutrients — research in the Nutrition & Metabolism journal explains that eating protein can actually allow the body to blast through up to 20-30% more calories than carbohydrates or fat

 The government recommends that the baseline requirements for adults is 0.75g of dietary protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day
To maximize muscle growth, research from the Journal of Sports Sciences recommends consumption of between:

  • 1.3-1.8g per kilogram of bodyweight per day (the amount between these two points depends on training status) and;
  • Up to 1.8-2g per kilogram of bodyweight per day during periods of energy restriction to prevent muscle loss – more than double the government recommendations.
I think in general it would be better to make your own blend rather than buying a blend. If you need it just before bed, Casein is fine. If you need a blend for post workout or between meals, half a scoop of whey and casein does the same thing.

If you want it all in one container, then there's Combat Powder, Dynamite Elite XT, BodyStrong, Ultimate Nutrition Syntha Gold. Still filler but slightly less so, typically 34g scoop for 25-26g of protein.

NutraBio Muscle Matrix Protein is probably the best, 30.5g scoop for 29.66g of blended protein.

Rivalus Promisil is probably second best, 30g scoop for 24g of protein.

Artist got automated

Here is my first Tensorflow run to convert images to different styles of famous painters I am using the code that is available at  https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer It uses specific versions of below libraries !apt install ffmpeg !pip install tensorflow==0.12.1 !pip install numpy==1.11.2 !pip install scipy==0.18.1 !pip install pillow==3.4.2 I started with latest version and that triggered failure after failure. If you are like me, add below changes to their respective files #This is to make tensorflow behave as if it is in v1 File : evaluate.py and ./src/transform.py import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf tf.disable_v2_behavior() #Image functions are removed from scipy.misc module. so use imageio instead import imageio scipy.misc.imsave(out_path, img) --> imageio.imwrite(out_path, img) img = scipy.misc.imread(src, mode='RGB') --> img = imageio.imread(src, pilmode='RGB') Refer this post on more details on imageio changes Here is the ...

OnePlus 6T - Android 10 (OOS 10)

Its been more than 3 months since August security patch update. Out of curiosity I checked Oxygen Updater. To my surprise, Oxygen OS v 10 (based on Android 10) is available. Since this is a stable release, i went head and updated it. Its ended up being a buggy release. For those of you, who didnt get update over OTA, its better to wait for OOS 10.1. Here are the list of issue and the workarounds. Issue #1 :  Phone randomly restarts and then goes to boot loop Workaround : when the phone stuck in boot loop (with OnePlus logo animation), Press Power Button and Volume Down button to restart it Issue #2 : Google play wont work Work Around : Booting to recovery and clearing cache is expected to fix this. will update after testing To booting to recovery, Firstly, turn off your phone: press and hold the Power button for a while or press the Power key once and choose ‘power off’. Once the switch off process is completed start pressing and also holding down the Volume Dow...
