Sadly, that just isn\u2019t the case. I\u2019ve mentioned in the past that different styles of training and dietary protocols will unavoidably have more utility than others.<\/p>\n<p>But context is hugely important.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has different needs. Therefore, cookie cutter meal plans and narrowly focusing on extreme arbitrary directives aren\u2019t going to cut it when there\u2019s so much that needs to be taken into account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: I\u2019m trying to eat better and control my appetite. I feel it\u2019s so much easier to do that with intermittent fasting. What I want to know is, are there any drawbacks?<\/p>\n<p>A:<\/strong> The mounting evidence on intermittent fasting continues to show that, while it\u2019s still a viable option, it\u2019s not magic or superior to a normal calorie balanced diet. In terms of fat loss, the end result is virtually the same.<\/p>\n<p>It can be wonderful for certain people especially if they find it helps keep a lid on their hunger.<\/p>\n<p>However, it should be noted that this pervasive myth that it\u2019s supposed to boost your metabolic rate, and preserve lean body mass are untrue. In fact, those are the potential drawbacks, long-term as recent research suggests.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not trying to turn this into a cult war. If it jibes well with your lifestyle, that\u2019s great. But please stop proclaiming it\u2019s better than the rest. That\u2019s not sound advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Do I need to eat more smaller meals throughout the day, and cut down&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":321626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-331748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
