Mike is leading by example... which is my wish for every single client-athlete.
And every person reading this message.
One strategy that Mike used to lose 50 pounds is intermittent fasting.
Now, I know what you might be thinking: "Fasting? No way, I love food too much!"
But hear me out, because the benefits of intermittent fasting are too good to ignore.
First of all, let's talk about fat loss.
Intermittent fasting has been shown to be incredibly effective at promoting fat loss, while also preserving muscle mass.
When you fast, your body switches from burning glucose for energy to burning fat, which is great news if you're looking to shed some extra pounds.
Plus, because you're not constantly eating, your body has time to focus on repairing and rebuilding itself, which leads to improved overall health.
But it's not just about fat loss - intermittent fasting has a whole host of other benefits as well.
It can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and even improve cognitive function.
It's also a flexible approach that can be adapted to fit your lifestyle.
Some people prefer to fast for 16 hours a day and eat during an 8-hour window, while others might do a 24-hour fast once or twice a week.
You can experiment to find the fasting schedule that works best for you.
And the best part? Intermittent fasting is not about restriction or deprivation.
It's about giving your body the time it needs to rest, repair, and rejuvenate.
And when you do eat, you can still enjoy all your favorite foods (in moderation, of course).
There's no need to give up carbs, fats, or any other food group - it's all about balance and making healthy choices.
So if you're looking for a nutrition approach that can help you lose fat, improve your health, and still enjoy delicious food, give intermittent fasting a try.
It might just be the best decision you ever make for your body and your overall well being.
You too can accomplish your goals, from anywhere in the world.
All you need is an Internet connection and a good attitude.
To get started, fill this out.
To your success,
Coach Joe
