I just started doing a high-intensity workout since two weeks and my aim is to build on muscle mass. Please suggest a diet plan accordingly.

To gain muscle you need to be in a caloric surplus and do some kind of resistance training to work your muscles. While high intensity workouts and cardio are great for your heart and a vital part of an exercise regime, strength training is vital if you’re looking to put on muscle. For your diet, make sure to get enough protein and have a balanced diet with sufficient portions of carbs and fats to fuel your training as well. Eat slightly above your maintenance calories to gain muscle.

Can I still take vitamins if I am involved with a detoxification program?

I am 24 years old and overweight. Thinking of starting keto to shed some pounds. What should I know about keto?

You don’t need to go on keto to shed pounds. Losing weight is all about a caloric deficit but if keto is something you enjoy and you can adhere to, go for it. Keto is a very low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet. It typically contains 75% fat, 20% protein and only 5% carbs.
