5. FAQ: Nutrition for Results
Fuel better skin, hair, and muscle with answers to the most common diet questions.
🥩 Can I see results without supplements?
A: Yes—but realistically, most men benefit from targeted supplements like collagen, omega-3s, and vitamin D due to modern dietary gaps. They help close the loop.
☕ When’s the best time to take collagen?
A: Morning. Mix into coffee or tea—heat doesn’t degrade collagen peptides. Pair with vitamin C (like orange juice) for better absorption.
💪 Can I use protein powders while cutting?
A: Absolutely. Use whey isolate or plant-based blends with minimal sugar. Ideal post-workout or as a meal anchor when on a calorie deficit.
🍽️ What diet is best for aesthetics?
A: A high-protein Mediterranean diet: think lean proteins, olive oil, leafy greens, low refined carbs. Proven to enhance skin tone, hormone balance, and fat distribution.
✈️ Can I stick to the plan while traveling?
A: Yes—pack single-serve protein sachets, collagen sticks, and bring a supplement pill case. Choose grilled meats, boiled eggs, fruit, and water-rich veggies when eating out.
🧪 How do I know if a supplement works?
A: Track with photos, skin/hair logs, or biometrics (e.g., energy, sleep, digestion). Allow 8–12 weeks before evaluating effectiveness.
