  Protein powder has become increasingly popular among people who want to build muscle, manage their weight, and improve their daily nutrition.

Before buying a protein supplement, it is important to understand its ingredients, protein content, added sugar, and quality testing. Recent regulatory news has also highlighted why consumers should look beyond marketing claims. In October 2026, India's Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) issued notices concerning allegedly non-compliant health claims associated with a nutritional supplement marketed for people undergoing GLP-1/GIP therapies. These notices are not final findings of wrongdoing, but they are a reminder to examine supplement claims carefully.

Sugar has a poor reputation as being an enemy when it comes to creating a nutritious and well-balanced diet. The fact is, however, that you wouldn't be able to survive without sugar. Your body relies on small amounts of sugar to function properly. That doesn't mean that you have license to fill up on sugary foods, but it does mean that there is a place for small amounts of the right kinds of sugar in your healthy eating plan. Sugar for Energy Sugar provides energy to your muscles and acts as a source of energy for your brain and nervous system.

Then I find that  I keep coming back  for bits throughout the day… If there are cookies laid out at someone’s house, you can bet I’ll take one – then  a few more… If I’m offered cake, it’s unlikely I’ll say no to a slice… Basically, when I start, it’s very hard to stop. So I decided to cut myself off and see what happens. THE FIRST 2 DAYS OF THE NO-SUGAR CHALLENGE Here is an overview of t...
