Intermittent Fasting and Leangains Are NOT Magic!

It’s funny how things evolve. When I first began experimenting with various eating and fasting protocols, the changes were small at first. I began by jumping full-bore into the carbophobic-Atkins loving, bacon-buffet, carbs will kill you, William Davis-worshipping crowd. Did avoiding carbs at all costs work? Yessir.
