The buzz around combining a low carb diet with Intermittent Fasting (IF) continues to grow, although not much research has supported this until recently, when a study published in Cell Reports Medicine investigated the combined effects of a healthy low-carbohydrate diet and time-restricted eating (TRE), another term for Intermittent Fasting, on weight loss and gut microbiome composition in adults with overweight or obesity. Key Findings The participants in this study who combined the healthy, low carb diet with TRE consumed 130 grams of carbs (more than Atkins’ highest level of 100 grams of Net Carbs a day).

56 It’s a sad reality that many yoga teachers learn yoga from social media nowadays. More importantly, many yoga teachers don’t realize the full potential of influence, impact & bias training they’re setting themselves up for. I’m giving you an in-depth understanding of exactly what’s wrong when you learn yoga from social media. My main social media account is Instagram. For years, I used Facebook but we moved away as the algorithm made it harder to connect with our followers. This article is based on what I see happening in the Instagram Yoga world. 10 reasons why you shouldn’t learn…

Some work your glutes harder than others, and knowing the difference can take your booty gains to the next level.

Delicious salmon done in about 10 minutes? Yep, sign me up! One thing I love about fish is how simple it is to make. All it really needs is an easy sauce over top and its perfect! You can also play around with the cooking method. Bake, broil or even saute in a pan, and drizzle the sauce on after. Just use whatever method you prefer. For this Chili Ginger Salmon, I decided to broil it, as it was the quickest method with the least amount of mess. I highly recommend lining your baking sheet with foil, as the sugars…
Several years ago, some dear friends and I spent a week in Oaxaca, Mexico, eating and marveling at the artistry and community of that incredible place. On one of the days during our visit, we took a mole class. The day started at the market, gathering our many ingredients, and then, back at the place where we were staying, we started a fire to toast the chiles and spices on the unfinished terra-cotta comal, a round cooking griddle that can be used directly over a fire. The smoke was filled with spice, and soon the sesame seeds were popping. I’ve…

Why RacketOne is Rethinking Tennis Journalism Beyond the Pro Tour. Tennis is one of the world’s most widely played sports, yet its media coverage tells a different story. Almost all the attention is focused on a select group of professionals — roughly 3000 players competing at the highest level — while the tens of millions of amateur players remain in the shadows. “It’s a real problem,” says Pavel Petko, editor-in-chief of RacketOne, a new media project aiming to change this narrative. “There are so many outlets covering professional tennis, but very few focus on amateur players and their experiences. Our…
