Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss?

by Colin McGregor

It's finally heating up, so we get to enjoy our pool! 🌊⁠
⁠
If your current fitness goal is weight loss, a new study has shown that intermittent fasting 2 weeks on 2 weeks off over 16 weeks was much more effective than 16 weeks of continual dieting. ⁠
⁠
The results showed 12.3kg of fat lost in the intermittent fasting group as compared to 8kg in continual dieting.⁠
⁠
So if you haven’t tried intermittent fasting, it might be worth giving it a go!⁠
⁠
To ensure proper recovery, don’t forget to have your Biogenesis Chlorella post-workout.
