Each year, many of us spend hundreds of dollars on vitamin supplements in the quest for better health, an athletic advantage or as a silver bullet to “scare off” disease and hold aging at bay. Could it be possible we are wasting our money and doing more harm than good in the process?
I am please to present a guest posting from my friend, Ori Hofmekler.
The Skinny On Meal Frequency Studies-by Ori Hofmekler
Forced feeding, fixed calories, false indications
Recent studies on the impact of meal frequency on middle aged men and women
raise serious questions to their relevant real life conditions. The studies
were conducted by Dr. Mark Mattson, a pioneer researcher in the area of human
feeding, is known for his ground breaking studies on intermittent fasting. Dr.
Mark Mattson and myself have been corresponding regarding the benefits of the
one main meal per day approach, and about a year ago he shared with me over the
phone some information regarding the studies of which results we’ve published
recently. To avoid falsely driven conclusions, let’s examine the facts behind
these studies and clarify some key points:

Sore muscles, beat-up joints, tennis elbow, low back pain happen to just about everyone and it is a fact of life for people who train hard with or without weights.
