Alex Flint: Body Torque Gym Founder on the review finding intermittent fasting is no more effective than typical weight loss diets
from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Weight loss was broadly similar to traditional dieting, and there was no strong evidence of extra metabolic benefits. Body Torque Gym Founder Alex Flint told Mike Hosking intermittent fasting is just a really good method for portion control, but it has a much better marketing department. He says if you can stick to it, it’s a fantastic tool, but it’s not superior to regular calorie control methods and eating patterns. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
