Hey Friend,

  Well, it's finally here.

   The study/article that I have been hoping for!!!

  There's been so much talk lately about fasting. And of course with all of this talk there are going to be "experts" trying to denounce its benefits.

 But everything that I know about it and that I and my clients have experienced and I have read about in studies in medical journals is all positive.

 So why any negative reviews?

 Again, I think it all comes down to money.

 The big food companies don't want any good news to come out about fasting because they know it will take away from their profits.

  People will buy less food if they start fasting more, right?

  So if the media is falsely claiming that fasting is bad for us, where do we go to get the real inside scoop? The real truth?

 We have to dig for it.

  And luckily, that's why you subscribe to my newsletter and let me do the dirty work. :)

  Let me present you with Exhibit A:

  Just yesterday, June 24th, researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago debunked four common myths about intermittent fasting.

  Let's take a look...

  "I've been studying intermittent fasting for 20 years, and I'm constantly asked if the diets are safe," said lead author Krista Varady, professor of kinesiology and nutrition at UIC. "There is a lot of misinformation out there. However, those ideas are not based on science; they're just based on personal opinion."

  #1 Intermittent fasting does not lead to a poor diet

The researchers point to studies showing the intake of sugar, saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, sodium and caffeine do not change during fasting compared with before a fast. And the percentage of energy consumed in carbohydrates, protein and fat doesn't change, either.

  #2 Intermittent fasting does not cause eating disorders

None of the studies show that fasting caused participants to develop an eating disorder. However, all the studies screened out participants who had a history of eating disorders, and the researchers say that those with a history of eating disorders should not try intermittent fasting. They also urge pediatricians to be cautious when monitoring obese adolescents if they start fasting, because this group has a high risk of developing eating disorders.

  #3 Intermittent fasting does not cause excessive loss of lean muscle mass

The studies show that people lose the same amount of lean muscle mass whether they're losing weight by fasting or with a different diet. In both cases, resistance training and increased protein intake can counteract the loss of lean muscle.

  #4 Intermittent fasting does not affect sex hormones

Despite concerns about fertility and libido, neither estrogen, testosterone nor other related hormones are affected by fasting, the researchers said.

  As I said, it's not really a surprise to me that so many "experts" try and speak badly about fasting.

  Many of the so called "studies" that are done that show that fasting is bad are usually funded by a food company of some sort. So of course they are going to speak badly of it. Remember, the last thing they want you doing is eating less!

  So don't just take a study's word for it. Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to see who is conducting the study, who is funding the study, etc.

  It reminds me of the case in the 1960's when the sugar companies paid off the Harvard scientists to say that it was saturated fat that caused heart disease and not sugar.

  Yes, you read that correctly...the sugar people PAID OFF the scientists to say that heart disease was caused by saturated fat and not sugar.

  Let me present to you Exhibit B:

  Really fascinating stuff.

  And so troubling at the same time.

 And you can CLICK HERE to read the article that I mentioned in this email about the 4 myths about fasting that were debunked.

  It's only a matter of time before more and more people turn to fasting to slim down, increase their energy, fight off diseases and live a healthy vibrant life.

  Right now, 40,000,000 people in the U.S. fast on a regular basis as part of their regular eating lifestyle.

  That's 12% of the population.

  I expect that number to be closer to 20% over the next 10 years.

  Because more and more people are taking control of their health now and going against the "standard" advice they've been given from the government.

  What about you Friend?

  Are you going to leave it to chance, or do something about it for yourself?

  I'm always here to help if you want to do something about it.

P.S. Irene had listened to the standard advice for so long and got little to no results. It wasn't until she went "against the norm" and tried fasting that she got results that have made a real impact on her weight and her health:

“After several years and a variety of diets that included so many restrictions I have finally found success with this program. I regret not joining sooner! Thanks for everything. So glad I took a chance. I have lost 15lbs in 8 weeks. My mummy tummy is flatter and my body feels stronger. I have gained tools for life.
