FOOTBALL and Indian Performance


I recently conducted a workshop at TFA( tata football academy) at Jamshedpur. I was invited to present a lecture on Performance Nutrition to all the coaches in Indian Football. It was a great learning experience for me to understand the energy requirements of a Football player and the performance Nutrition that will be required to enhance the indian players 90 minutes.

Robin, standing here next to me is slated to be the next Baichung Bhutia and I have worked on his diet and performance. He is now on Performance Nutrition and I believe that he will excel in the coming years.

The strategy are working wonders for players as it keeps them fully charged. If any of the clubs out there want some samples to try it out for a winning edge do call us.

Till then I'll just keep Dribbling the Performance Nutrition Mantra.....

SUSHIL KUMAR - AN OLYMPIC MEDAL for PERFORMANCE NUTRITION



SUSHIL KUMAR! BRONZE!!! My phone beeped when he thumped the mat at Beijing. WE won Bronze was the Message from him and I am his advisor in performance Nutrition.

I met Sushil 9 days before his tyrst with destiny. He was 72 kgs aiming to fight in the 65 kgs category. He was of the idea of starving himself and running like mad a day before the event. This is the condition of our infrastructure. In this case its not the facilities but the professional know how. SPORTS AUTHORITY of India needs a performance nutritionists to advise the coaches on the Nutrition cycles in the build up to competitions. Anyways, he blindly trusted me, because I just said to him " If you want to win the next nine days these two sheets of paper will prescribe your diet and liquids, and you will not touch anything outside this paper." he agreed and the rest is history.

 His diet prescribed was without doubt one of a winner. I know for a fact Sushil spent more than 1.5 lakhs on supplements alone.

His last 9 days of diet and supplements were given to him by me for a planned weight loss of 7 kgs and a mind blowing power increase of atleast 20%. I think we achieved it without a doubt.


IF NOT ANYTHING, I stand as per my first Blog, Give me an athlete who follows a performance nutrition regime and I can give you a winner.

SUSHIL! India salutes you for your effort and I thank you for the opportunity to prove that scientific performance nutrition is the only way to a medal.

MARATHON RUNNER- PWR EXCELLENCE


I took these lines from India's Best Marathon Runner Sunitha Godara blog.

To start with, I would reflect on my running career for those who are not aware of my running. I have been Asian Marathon Champion in 1992. I have run more than 1,05,000 kilometers in my running career spanning to 27 years of active competitive running. I have completed 66 full marathons. Presently I am competing and everyday I run about 20 Km in training, totaling to about 130 to 150 Km per week which adds about 7000 Km per year at an average speed of 5 minutes per km. I have run races in 24 countries, all continents and raced in more than 200 road racing competitions round the world in all the continents. I first ran outside India in 1985 Boston Marathon in U.S.A. and became India’s National Marathon Champion in 1984.

She has been trying out aminonutrition on her run's with her team of elite runners. In her own words " I felt fresh at the end of the race".

This time I could only smile knowing that Perforamnce Nutrition does wonders to the body's engine - THE MUSCLES.

GOOD LUCK Sunitha in creating a nation of Runners!

DELHI RANJI VICTORY - BODYFUELZ fueled their performance


Tejvir and Badrinath, the trainer and the Physio of the Winning Ranji Team of Delhi were the unsung heroes. They were responsible in keeping the boys injury free throughout the whole season.

We spent 2 whole days last season profiling each player including Ishant Sharma in their performance Diet and their Aminonutrition programe. They were aggresively put on BODYFUELZ products before,during and after the game. We also tested our two new products FASTCHARGE & PWRSPORTS with this Team with exceptional results.

Being Ryan Fernando, a Sports Nutrition Performance Specialist, I have found it very difficult to find people like Badrinath from the Medical profession and Tejvir a world class athelete turned Fitness trainer, to listen to the concept of Performance Nutrition. They Listened and they WON!

Another one of our successes in the SPORTS PERFORMANCE. CONGRATS DELHI TEAM.

Resolution 2008 - Win at all costs


Guiding athletes from across the country has me bitten by the Workout Bug. I am now at 60 kgs. My target at the end of 2008 is 72 kgs my ideal bodyweight.

I am going to use by own body as a performance measurement tool in terms of Performance nutrition. BODYFUELZ is already a key component in my workout regime.

This year is going to Rock! At 32, I feel 23 and burning rubber in the gym.

Its Glutamine, Free form amino's , and a cocktail of dry fruits thats the new addition to bulk up.

Keep tuned. and oh! by the way I got to meet Neha Dhupia at Golds Gym in Mumbai. Now I know why filmstars have killer Abs....even the women ;}...Its because they workout like Crazy.

Which reminds me I have to get me a girlfriend with Killer Abs...

2008 .... Going to chew everyday and spit out the pips!!!

I met Mr Madhukar Talwalkar. He's inspired me to get to the gym to Weight train.

I just finished a series of Performance Nutrition seminars to their trainers at Talwalkars.

India's Win at the ASIA CUP- HOCKEY

Chak de BODYFUELZ!
This time it was a three month activity with the Indian Hockey team and the results played out as per our strategy. Fitness Coach " Prasad Ganguly" and myself redesigned the fitness of the Indian hockey players with a rehydration formula especially designed by me. Along with Aminonutrition and our new strategy of time based fueling we were able to keep the boys in an almost Fatigue free state. Result India had not lost a single Match.

People talk about how ergogenic Aids like BCAA and Glutamine and 6% glucose solution dont work and they are only placebos. Tell a player that after 6 weeks of enhanced performance and he will tell you that no placebo can work that long.

I am now totally convinced on Free form amino acids and the need for Ergogenic Aids.

Check out me and my Team on the CHAK DE INDIA mode!

Seminar on Sports Performance Nutrition


The FITNESS One gang of trainers had me enjoying Training them on the salient aspects of Performance Nutrition in the Fitness Industry. We spent two days together and covered topics ranging from Weight Management via Nutrition to Ergogenic aids and their Relevance to Customers joining a Gym.

BODYFUELZ was the sponsor with Fitness one to provide these trainers a World Class Training in Performance Nutrition.

Nutrition not only can work in the sporting Arean but a careful and strategic application in the Fitness Industry can help increase customers awareness on Nutrition not to mention measurable success on the Fitness Goals front. As I say to all the trainers I meet " Its the Input that makes your Output - Eat smarter, Eat Smaller but Stronger, Train even Harder" and to all my fellow Nutritionists and Dieticians in a GYM ...if you ain't running you ain't practicing what you preach.

GOOD LUCK AT FITNESS ONE in creating a revolution!

Yours in Performance

Challenger Trophy and the Nutrition Test

Its been a while since I had time to pen down a few lines. Been travelling across the country and found that sports is indeed getting a keener focus in terms of coaches and Infrastructure.

I recently met the Hockey Coach in Bangalore, Joe Carvalho, and I found a Strong note in this gentleman. This guy is bringing back a medal from the Olympics for us. The boys on the Indian Hockey team are so good, its only time before they take off.

As you know I hate all pompous dietitians who say supplements are not required and if proof is in eating the pudding well, the Indian Hockey team has just been presented with a new system of Nutrition delivery during the game via a 6 % osmotic delivery system, where the sugar is delivered in a measured form to deliver maximum up to of glucose into the body without an insulin spike. We have bio-engineered a 5:1 sodium to potassium Electrolyte Ratio coupled with a few vitamins for performance.

I guess the test is on and the Challenger cup in Germany this week will let us know.

Keep reading as I am working with the Military Indian Triathlon Team for the World Military Games and if you think Nutrition in the form of Ergogenic Aids are not required then stay in your white lab coat and CCP ( Cut copy paste ) diets from your outdated text books for diabetic patients.

Will be back and oh! Adarsh just won three golds at the Tamil Nadu aquatic meet. He's nine years old and on a special Performance based Diet.

Got to run, my 8 pm appointment with the treadmill awaits.
