First, let me make a confession: I am an exercise addict, a PROUD exercise addict. I LOVE exercising and I cannot imagine a time when I cannot exercise. If I have one hour and I can do anything I want what would it be?? Ride my bike, OR if that is not possible: Exercise. 

Do you find that you need to punish yourself after a vacation?? Listen to this episode, you may just learn you do not need to anymore. 

Happy Labor Day everyone. 

Another great question and controversial topic- Running on empty.

Many athletes ask me: what are your thoughts about fasting exercise??

Many who are trying to lose weight ask me: is fasting exercise a better way to lose weight?

Finally, nowadays, there is also a hype about fasting/ intermittent fasting in general. 

These are all great questions and very interesting topics but there are about 20 different online recommendations for each, many of them very contradictory. 

My answer is: it all depends. But there are a few general and logical things to consider- Listen to learn more!

This is a very controversial topic, highly debated, and VERY much promoted by certain group of scientists and food manufacturers. The new and HOT vegan diet debate OR the Plant-based diet.
