Intermittent Fasting: Game Changer or Just Another Fad?
Intermittent fasting is a hot topic in the fitness world, and I get asked about it constantly. Here's the reality: while intermittent fasting can help with weight loss by reducing your eating window, it’s not a magic solution. You still need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight, and overeating within your window can derail your progress.
The Protein Advantage: Boost Fat Loss, Muscle Growth, and Health.
Protein isn’t just for getting jacked. High-protein diets have been shown to be superior to low-protein diets for fat loss, thanks to the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). Protein requires more energy to digest, absorb, and metabolize than carbs or fats, making it a more efficient fuel source. Additionally, high-protein diets favor fat loss over muscle loss, leading to better body composition and easier weight maintenance.
