Revolution Nutrition

 


   

     A while back, I came across a Canadian company called Revolution Nutrition on one of my social media. There's a nice little write up on them from on SupplementsReview.com*. Became interested in the variety of flavour they had, combo of  dessert and candy, yum. But at the time, I just received an order so no rush to get more. Summer came along, running low on protein, their ad came up again, how'd they know?? 

    One selling point that got me was to try a refreshing new flavour for the summer instead of the same old common ones. I immediately thought smoothies over milkshakes, so I pulled the trigger and bought some, pictured above. I'd like to add that I helped that they had a buy one get one 50% off sale :)

                      ***Disclaimer: I am not a registered dietician, scientist, or doctor, so my knowledge to the contains are very limited, and by very basic, I mean what is on the label ***  

    When picking out proteins I look for the following things:

    1. how many grams of protein it has per serving - normally around 25g 

    2. total calories per serving - most will have about 120-140 calories anything more may maintain fillers in the product that you don't necessarily need unless your planning on bulking (ie. weight gainers)

    3. it contains whey isolate over concentrate - I learned that whey concentrate includes lactose that may load to bloating. Nothing like having a good workout, having a great pump, and looking a little bloated. haha. 

    4. servings per container - this is more from a financial standpoint. I try to stick to 25 - 30 servings for container that costs around $40 dollars. 

    So with that being said....

      First I tried a protein isolate splash. It was a toss up between the two flavours, sour watermelon and fuzzy peach, so I left it in the decision of my kids who ended up choosing sour watermelon. I excitedly opened it up and mixed it with some water. First thought, mmm, I like it. It did taste like the candies. 

    The only think that I didn't like about it was the weird after taste. It seemed familiar. It wasn't til my wife pointed out that it tastes like a children's medicine we all had as a kid. I can't remember which one, but I remember not liking it back then. My wifey couldn't finish it. 

    If I had to rate this protein in terms of taste, I'd give it a 7/10. I like that fact that it's different from the traditional flavours out there, but the after taste still gets to me. 

    


     Next we, by we I mean my wife, open the chocolate mint ice cream protein, whey dessert. If you're a chocolate mint person, this will rock your world. You mix it with some milk, delicious! Come to think of it, I didn't even try making it into a milkshake.... dang it. 

    If you already guessed it, I give this a 10/10. This has become my wife's favourite over the MusclePharms cookie and cream, which is also delicious. Just found out that they are sold at Costco, my wife is excited by this. haha



    Something new I've never tried before are protein gummy. I'm not going to lie, this was a throw in to get the free shipping. An interesting concept, it's different from the common shakes and bars. 

    Initial thought when opening it was, don't judge the taste by the smell. Why is it that we have a need to smell things first before tasting it anyways? lol. The taste on the other hand was great, just like eating gummies with 0 grams of sugar. I dunno what they use to make it taste sweet (didn't look to close to the label) but they sure did a good job on the taste factor. 





    So overall at this point, I do recommend giving Revolution Nutrition a try. I'm going to try and stick to the dessert proteins for now seeing that the mint chocolate ice cream topped the sour watermelon in my opinion. It might change though after I try the fuzzy peach protein. You may want to do your own research on the company and it's products before purchasing. I'm sure there are more in-depth reviews on them out there.  Like I said in the disclaimer, I'm not a professional reviewing this, I'm just a average guys letting everyone know what I think. Take it or leave it.... that saying reminds me of the song Ice Ice Baby... Anywhoo, thanks for the read, hope it wasn't too much of a waste of time.

First time Gym Goers

  Okay, it's 2 months in, out of the new gym goers out there, who's still going? Are you sticking with your New Year's resolution? If you are, great! If not, well there's always next year right? I'm kidding, that's the wrong why to think. there's 10 more months this years that you can use to pick away at.          As per every year, there are a lot of new people that are at the gym these first 2 months, which is awesome to see, although it makes things a lot more crowded. If your new to the gym, here's some friendly reminders, 1. get in the habit of wiping the equipment down especially cardio machines and benches.  2. rack your weights after using it 3. busy gyms aren't for social time so don't go on your phones in between sets (unless your changing the song), keep chatting with friends to a minimal since people are most likely waiting to use your machine/weights.    Before hitting the gym, I recommend doing research into exe...

The Beginning....

Welcome. My name is Marvin (Shane to others). I created this fitness blog to hopefully inspire the average person to stop making excuses and start looking to be a better version of themselves. People tend to think they don't have time, or money for fitness. Or maybe they get intimidated by what they see from bodybuilders or personal trainers out there thinking it's way too advanced for them. Or think they need to be a certain type of person for it. Maybe, just maybe, someone like me (working man, husband, papa of 3) could help change your view on what fitness can be.  The name Make It Fit(ness) was actually suggested by a co-worker who understands my mindset towards a healthy lifestyle. It can have several meanings.. 1. Make it fit... into your schedule. Ever heard of 15 mins, 3 times a week? Really it's that simple. "something is better than nothing". I'm a busy man too between work, kids, chores, finishing my basement, and everyday life. If you ...

It's not the results I wanted but....

Before you start exercising, you probably have a goal in mind. The most common has to do with weight. "I want to lose 20 pounds." Seems a like a reasonable goal right? So you start working out, get into a good routine of going to the gym, or outdoor exercise, and start a healthy diet/lifestyle. Depending on your fitness level, there's a chance you can you can drop 10 lbs within weeks, then after a couple month you find that you weight stays the same. Even after you've doing everything the same, you start to question what's wrong, and thinking they didn't get the results they wanted. People tend to judge the results by the numbers, I normally ask, how do you feel and how do look? After three months, you may have not lost as much weight as you wanted to by what if your cardio is better? What if you slimmed down a few inches off the waistline? Not the 20lbs  results that you wanted but does that work for you? I'm been there before, wanting to put on ...
