Intermittent Fasting with Type 2 Diabetes
As fasting can raise the risk of low blood sugar in those with Type 2 diabetes, it’s generally recommended that those with the health condition consult their doctor before attempting any type of fasting regime.

Pea Protein vs Whey Protein
If you’re wondering the difference between whey protein and pea protein, you aren’t alone. Researchers have compared many different types of protein for their muscle building potential (1). Specifically, they sought to determine whether pea protein could replicate the muscle-building benefits widely observed with whey protein. The study divided 161 healthy young males into three groups who received either 25 grams of whey protein, pea protein, or a placebo twice a day while undergoing resistance exercises for 12 weeks. The overall results of the study found there was no significant difference between whey and pea protein consumption affecting muscle thickness of the subjects. This finding suggests that pea protein has muscle protein synthesis effects comparable to the gold standard: dairy-based [...]
