Intermittent Fasting Roundtable: The Experts Talk about IF for Fat Loss, Muscle and Health.

When I personally stumbled across the research and lifestyle of Intermittent Fasting (IF for short) many years ago, it just all made sense to me.

But then I... (read full article)

The Michael Phelps Diet and Gaining Muscle

Joe put in steady hard work and effort into his workouts, adopted healthy lifestyle habits and now enjoys more success/freeedom/results in finding how IF... (read full article)

How to Win the Mental Battle in Life

Honestly folks when it comes to health and weight loss, we know what we need to do. Are there really any true breakthroughs that will help us? Not really. Are we shocked when we hear that we need to “eat less overall, eat healthier foods and exercise more”? Nah.
