Hello ,

There has been a lot of buzz recently about fasting vs eating multiple times a day, etc. What is right? Is there any science on this? I like to follow the science when I can. Sometimes the science isn't available. Sometimes the study is flawed. When there are multiple studies and their conclusions agree I feel a little more certain there may be something to it.  Many articles that are written in national magazines are taken as a new break through or as fact when they are actually more opinion based. I try to look at these mass media articles with skepticism. If you read between the lines, many times you'll end up not following the latest fad but may be correct in the long run. Here are some more recent "junk science breakthroughs" we can all relate to. Eat margarine, not butter. Don't eat eggs, they are bad for you. Slather on the sun screen and stay out of the sun, it's bad for you. 

But, and this is a big BUT, Just because we don't understand why something works, or there isn't a study done to prove it, doesn't mean it is hogwash. Consider not that many years ago when hospitals had a very high infant mortality rate. Some open minded doctors realized they may be carrying contamination on their hands. They were severely chastised by the majority of the medical community even when they showed their dramatic statistics. They didn't know what "germs" were at the time. When they cleaned their hands they found it greatly reduced the infant deaths. It took the medical community many many years to adopt this sterile practice because they couldn't explain it scientifically.  I think we still have some of that "no studies to explain it, it isn't true" mentality within the medical community. 

Read the following LINK and I'll share what I know about the benefits of eating more often throughout the day.

LOW "T" ?

Men, over 40, trying to lose some fat around the middle,

need more ooumph?


 
Leptin - What is it and why it can be harmful to your health and what you can do about it?

Leptin is a protein hormone that is thought to relay satiety signals. ie: Let us know we are full or hungry. Leptin concentrations are highly correlated to body fat mass.
 
Obese humans have, on average, 4 times more serum leptin levels than lean individuals.

Men who are obese, (with high serum concentrations of leptin) have been shown to have low concentrations of total and free testosterone. (ie: 22%-45%)

This can have many other health implications beyond vanity.  Excess body fat around the middle has been associated with many health problems. If you find yourself with the "tire around the middle" syndrome, you may benefit by adding a natural testosterone booster to your exercise and nutritional strategy.

A natural testosterone booster is different than creams or synthetics because a natural booster will enhance what you make, not replace it.  And unlike a prohormone type synthetic test booster, which will actually diminish your natural production, you won't experience those nasty side effects, like reduced libido, with the natural stuff if/when you go off it. What do you have to lose? 

Men's testosterone levels decline as we age anyway, so adding something to stop it or slow it down is a plus.  What can you expect by using a natural booster?  Increased energy, increase in strength, better mood and outlook, better recovery from training, and increased libido.
 
By far our most popular test booster right now is 2TX.  It is made with patented ingredients and backed by research.
