So why would you want to swap perfectly delicious food for some hodgepodge powdered food eh?
Why fix something when it’s not broken?
why reinvent the wheel?
Do you get enough fibre?
Your body doesn’t work that why?
Isn’t it ridiculously expensive?
You must get really hungry?
When people see me making mysterious mixtures from large quantities of powder they usually have a few questions going through their mind or they think some nonchalant drugs lord measuring large quantities of cocaine on the kitchen counter. Let me answer all those questions and some others. Maybe I’ll make this into an FAQ section later.
Q – So why would you want to swap perfectly delicious food for some hodgepodge powdered food?
A – I have personally been really interested in nutrition for some years and enjoyed experimenting with the link between the food we eat and the effect it has on the body. Most recently I have been applying this to bodybuilding. Like most bodybuilders the process of preparing food and eating the correct amount of food is challenging at the best of times. Most recently I moved, on exchange, to Hong Kong and this made it almost impossible to continue
This Tiny Kitchen is where 40 people attempt to eat, cook and clean dishes.
cooking and storing meals.The fridge space was non existent and the cooking arrangements consisted of a microwave .Thus I began looking for a different way to get the nutrition I required.
The Musclent powder solved all these problems. It allowed me to prepare all my meals in under 45 minutes (for a week ! Crazy I know) It saved me roughly 30% on my usual shopping bill and it provides me with the exact nutrition I require.
Q – Why fix something when it’s not broken.
A – I’m not trying to fix anything,food works and probably, for some time to come, will always be the default choice. I think it important however to look into the future of how we fuel our bodies and explore whats possible and what is not. If we stop being curious, then we stop innovating and then we stagnate. At the moment this is still an experiment and I want to share with you guys what my findings are, so you can make an informed choice about maybe whether this is right for you.
Q – Do you get enough fibre?
A – I have no idea why this is everyone’s default question when it comes to talking about diets and nutrition. Suddenly everyone becomes fibre inspectors and demands to know precise figures of how much fibre I am consuming. To answer this, yes I am getting a very good amount of fibre, in fact I know it to the nearest gram, do you?
Q – Isn’t it ridiculously expensive?
A – One of the main reasons I considered undertaking this was because of the saving you can reap from following this diet. On average I have saved 30% on my usually shopping bill and if I could order more ingredients from amazon then I would be saving even more money.
Did I also mention the time savings? I am a little obsessive when it comes to saving time and eking the most out of my day. But Musclent is ridiculously convient. I’ll go over in later. But to summarise all my food prep for the week takes 45 mins! and to consume each portion take the same amount of time as to drink a large protein shake.
Q – You must get really hungry?
A – Nope all that fibre and the fact I am on a 3000 cal diet means that I feel full and energised throughout the day.
Q – From drinking all that liquid you must go to the bathroom alot?
A – Yeah there is that problem, but then again it’s always nice to get stretch your legs every now and then.
I’ll probably expand this questions sections as more questions come in but for now i’ll leave you.
Thanks for reading!
Big Love
