Intermittent fasting: another diet trend?
Recently a fellow fitness professional told me he was toying with the idea of intermittent fasting. He began explaining that it had to do with insulin sensitivity and some of the research was pretty astounding – he said that if done right one can lose fat and gain muscle .. Wait for it… At theContinue reading “Intermittent fasting: another diet trend?”
