Week ending Sunday 19/02/17

It’s that time of the week again where we sift through the fitness world and pick our top 10 favourite pieces for your reading, viewing and listening pleasure. If you’d like to be considered for us to include you on this list OR if you’d like to write for us, shoot us a message here.

Anyway, on with the list!

Our number 1 pick this week is:

A Series of Articles to Make Low Carb Dieters Misplace their Excrement - James Fell, Body For Wife

We could have picked this for the title alone, but the content is fantastic and we love James Fell's irreverent views on low-carb eating. If you're a low carb fan, read on and prepare to lose your shit.

The rest of the list is pretty awesome too!
