Equinox Mechanical Weighing Scale Review!

Got a new Fitness Companion - Equinox Mechanical Weighing Scale

If you are planning to buy a weighing scale for your family, you might possibly get into the dilemma of choosing between the mechanical one and the digital one. I have discussed it in my post - 'Things you got to know about weighing scales' here.

Today I am going to review my recent purchase from Amazon, that is a weighing scale from equinox. I was in search of a good mechanical weighing scale after having broken my old one. 

It reached me a few days before. Before getting into the post, let me tell you this is not a sponsored post - my review is honest. I hope this review will be helpful for you.

Price: I paid Rs. 925 but the MRP is Rs. 1195

Claims & Directions for Usage: 

My Views of Equinox Mechanical Weighing Scale:-

Just like any other mechanical weighing scale, this one to had to be set to zero before you begin. The setting dial is so firm and that it makes easy to adjust the red mark to zero, even if it is a little bit more or less.

Coming to the results, I can say they are dependable and are mostly accurate. So the purpose of the scale is fulfilled well.  But see that you have placed both of your legs in the proper way.

Actually, the price is a little bit on the high side even though I bought it online due to the additional tax rates we have to pay these days.

The leg space available on the scale is less which is definitely a minus. The fabric on the scale has some texture to it (as you can see in the image). But, we get a kind of congested feeling when we are standing on it. One has to place their legs carefully without stamping on the screen so as to get the best results (results do vary with the slightest moves).

The body as you can see had a dark blue finish which has already started showing up some marks on it, which is something really bad to happen in just 3-4 days of usage. 

Overall, I would rate it 3 on 5. 

Go for it, if you are looking for a pocket-friendly weighing scale that gives you accurate results each time.

Endura Mass Weight Gainer - A Complete Review!

Does Endura Mass Weight Gainer Really Work?

Endura mass weight gainer is one of the widely used weight gaining powder supplements in India. It is budget friendly and claims to give you an additional 3000+ calories in a day, which can be considered as a good amount of calories for a skinny to gain weight! Read on to decide whether it is worth the money.

Price:- ₹ 595 for 500 grams

Product description:-

Energy Values:

My experience with Endura Mass Weight Gainer:

One fine day, I was searching for the weight gaining supplements or powders available in Indian market and that was how I came to know about this product! I read each and every review below the product on Amazon and there were mixed reviews about it and I was puzzled. but my mind (&health) insisted me to give it a try! I tried searching for it in my local stores and there was no way I could find it. That was how I was forced to buy this online for the first time. 

This is my second bottle. I bought the second one; NOT because I was quite happy and satisfied with the results from my first use but because I felt It deserves a second chance. 

I bought the one in chocolate flavor but there are other options such as banana, vanilla, and strawberry to choose from.

Ingredients & the special Formula:

Suggested Use:

How I used my first bottle:- 

I bought my first bottle back in 2015. Then the packaging was a tin. If I am not wrong, that packaging was not having many instructions or directions to get the optimum results out of it. due to my ignorance, I started using it in water along with irregular compulsory meals.

To no amusement, it yielded no results and my money went waste. 

Again in 2016, I came across the same product on Amazon and this time the packaging was quite neat (plastic) and it had many instructions. The reviews again craved for a let's try it quench in me. 

I did and that's how I bought this one. 

Supplement Facts:

Taste:- 

Honestly, I did not like its taste much. Apart from that, if you drink just the powder itself in a glass of milk- it's heavy! I did have some troubles in the initial days but then it subsided and became normal.

If you blend it with bananas as mentioned in the instructions, it gives a really thick protein shake which is something that I do not prefer at all. 

The product has to be started using once a day and then slowly to make it twice a day. 

I tried my level best to get myself move in alignment with its directions, but my tastebuds refused to do so. 

I would rather prefer to have this powder with my milk alone and then eat bananas afterward. I tried this way as well, but I did not get any remarkable result.

Results of Endura Mass Weight Gainer:- 

It would have helped me gain a pound or two and I am obviously not more than that.   

Hence, I am not going purchase it again. 

It is better to buy some bananas and have it consistently rather than to buy on protein powders I feel. You can read my b-protin supplement review HERE. 

Also, I personally feel that if one is getting an additional 3000+ calories in a single day, then you should start seeing the results even in 2-3 days. So why do they give a 3-4 weeks time span! 

N.B:- 

Its shelf life is 3 years but once you have opened the bottle it is better to finish it up in 1 month, otherwise, the powder gets clumped up on its own. 

It is also better to have an active workout plan when you are taking this.

That made me look for alternatives regarding how I can drink this weight gain product without compromising too much with the calories.

British Biologicals B-Protin Nutritional Supplement Review

Protein powders are one of the easy ways available to gain or maintain a healthy weight. I too have tried out different protein powders after watching many luring advertisements. But this one was prescribed to me by my gynecologist after I said her that I feel fatigue all the time and I have to improve my health. She said that British Biologicals B-Protin Nutritional Supplement can help me but I should have it with milk daily. I was thankful that she wrote a protein powder for me so that I could possibly gain some weight now J Read on to know if it worked.

Price: Rs.218 for 200 grams

Available in 3 different flavors: Mango, Pineapple, and Chocolate.

British Biologicals B-Protin Nutritional Supplement- 

Usage Directions:-

2 tablespoons(30g) twice daily in 1 cup of lukewarm milk or water.

1.       Take 1/3^rd cup of lukewarm milk or water.

2.       Add 2 tablespoons of B-protin and stir briskly until dissolved.

3.       Add more milk or water to fill remaining volume of the cup or add according to your taste preference.

4.       Stir well. Once prepared consume immediately for better taste. Add sugar if desired.

Product Details:

Nutritional facts:

My experience with British Biologicals B-Protin Nutritional Supplement :

British Biological’s B protin is claimed as an ideal nutritional supplement. It also claims that it gives complete nutrition and tastes best. It comes in a glass bottle with a screwing plastic lid. It comes with no spoon or scoop (for accurate measurement). It tastes yummy when I have the powder alone (as it had sugar by itself). I take it as mentioned i.e., two level tablespoons of protin powder with some milk, dissolve and then add the rest of the milk. If we add all the milk/water at one go, it is not going to get completely dissolved. Though we can take it with either milk or water, I prefer taking it with milk (for at least once in a day). I have used a protin powder before in water, but got no results and all the money went waste.

I use this twice a day. I take it in the morning/immediately afternoon with milk. And then I take it with water before my sleep. I haven’t felt like it affects my normal sleep routine. If you can, then use milk itself twice a day. I have been religiously using this every day and I have successfully finished the bottle today. I used leveled tablespoons of this powder to make my drink. I have gained a kilogram more and for a 200g bottle the result feels fine to me. Energy wise, I haven’t felt much difference. It was all as normal as my any other day.

One important thing is that as the bottle is only of 200 grams, it can serve you for 6 or 7 servings (at maximum). That is one bottle lasts only for 3 days! (Though, I got to use it for more days because of the leveled tablespoons).

For everyone is reading this review, and planning to buy one – For the nutritional powders to work, it is important to take regular meals and have sufficient intake of calories( from food) already. So then the calories from your nutritional powder will provide you with additional calories and thus help you gain weight. If you are skipping meals and then taking this product, the calories from the drink will move to your daily calorie needs and you might not see visible results. For best results, I recommend you to use it twice in milk itself.

If you are finding difficulty to use it with milk, check out their official website where they share mousse, cake, and other recipes to try with this nutritional product!

Will I repurchase British Biologicals B-Protin Nutritional Supplement?

I might repurchase it in future, but as now I am trying to try out other brands. If you find the review useful do let me know in the comments. Also if you have a different opinion to share or share any suggestions for better utilization of this product, do leave your thoughts below.

Country Life Core Daily-1 Multivitamin for Women : My Review & Experience

Being a girl, I am meant to have super powers! If you have read my first post, you can understand that I hardly had any energy to complete my daily activities. I used to feel fatigue, fall ill - most of the days that it was difficult to do any sort of activities (even the light ones). It was not just of my anemia, but I lack much vitamin deficiency as well. This product Country Life Core Daily-1 Multivitamin for Women was a gift from my fiancé who works as a pharmacist in Dubai. My reaction was an immediate “no” when he said that the tablets are little big ones. But he didn’t listen to me and I am thankful for that. Read the post to find out why.

Country Life Core Daily-1 Multivitamin for Women
