I am looking to improve my diet. My diet has been all natural for quite a while but I am not getting the results that I want and have reached a plateau. Can anybody guide me in how to improve my diet naturally.

I am also interested in buying protein supplements. A GNC shop is near my home and was thinking of visiting it. Which supplement would you guys recommend. I have obtained a ranking of supplements from https://labdoor.com/rankings/protein. What do you guys recommend.

Okay, I did some research and optimum nutrition 100% gold standard has been recommended a lot. I am thinking of buying that.

The supplements I am interested in are available at daraza.pk. If you end up ordering from there, do let me know about your experience.

They have a pretty good catalog and delivery to home is a plus. Maybe, I should contact their team to ask for the proof of authenticity of their products.

Daraz won't help you in this case because all supplements on their site are sourced from other Pakistani sites like, well.pk, jackednutrition, thesupplement house. You will need to contact the original supplier for authenticity queries.

Anyone has any experience with sportsone? I am confused whether they have authentic products or not, some people say they are authentic and they are indeed the authorized retailers of many good brands like ON, Muscletech and others, but some say they are fishy, so anyone who is buying from them currently can confirm their products are authentic?

GNC is not only expensive they have a very limited variety and their product collection is pathetic.

That is disappointing, I don't understand why the authorized retailer of top brands is selling fake products.
When did you go there last time? Your visit was recent or some time ago? I am asking because maybe if you went there some time ago, they were not authorized yet and were selling fake products, but maybe after becoming authorize they have stopped selling fake products?

I think they have a different source. They have Muscletech Hydroxycut Next Gen which is a new product and other online sellers don't have it.

It was like less than 2 years ago !! I went there as I saw their name on Muscletech as official distributor in Pakistan .

After that incident I don't even bother buying from Pakistan,even GNC are suspicious !! There isn't anything about Pakistan them on their websites not they can arrange from stuff available from website

i don't know what you are talking about as they don't have a picture of the supplement i mentioned. So there is no way you can tell if its original or not unless you get to see it in person.

Taking it already :)

Weights on other muscles has been increased specially on smith machine for chest. From empty smith machine to 20 kgs in a month. I guess that's a lot of improvement. 12 reps and 3 sets.

They don't have Muscletech Hydroxycut Next Gen, they have two versions of Muscletech Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite which are sourced from well.pk and the supplement house.

Ok here is a good way to know the authenticity of a product, this will be a sure way to find out the authenticity for most products. You can scan the barcode on the product with your mobile and a barcode scanner app, if that bottle is original the barcode will be detected and you will see its information.
The only way this won't work if someone has somehow gotten a lot of empty but original jars/bottles and fill it with fake stuff. but I am guessing its not easy to find empty and original bottles of all products being sold in Pakistan.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
