Show notes

Did you ever hit a plateau while trying to reach your body composition goals?

Intermittent energy restriction could be a powerful approach to use after you’ve built a strong foundation to help you reach your goals! Studies have shown that this approach to dieting and fat loss could help us to overcome the adaptation that causes the plateau while minimising muscle mass loss and maximising fat loss.

In today’s episode, I talk about the research behind intermittent energy restriction and how I applied it to The Warrior Queen 2.0 Challenge.
