Should I do a detox of juice cleanse?
Balance Client's Questions and Answers
In short, no. Cleansing tends to bring out extreme opinions. But, as with most areas of nutrition (and life), rigidly clinging to any extreme position may blind us to some important information. The fact is, there can be many problems with detoxes and cleanses: Protein deficient Extremely low calorie Blood sugar swings GI tract dysfunction Restrictive eating and deprivation I prefer helping people build life-long skills and incorporate daily practices to improve their health, performance, and body composition without extreme (and unsustainable) things like detoxes and cleanses.

Balance Client's Questions and Answers
Overall, the evidence from observational and experimental studies suggests that there is a link between eating red meat and an increased risk of cancer, especially colorectal cancer. However, it’s important to remember that observational studies can only show an association – they can’t prove that one thing causes another.

Is it possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?
Balance Client's Questions and Answers
The simple answer is yes, it is possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. However, it should be noted that this requires a lot of dedication and consistency in training and diet.

Balance Client's Questions and Answers
Even though it is well established in the scientific community that fat oxidation increases during, as well as for a short time post, fasted cardio, over time, there doesn’t seem to be any particular differences in body composition. However, it’s important to note that there isn’t conclusive evidence on shorter-term effects. Here’s the takeaway: If you only do fasted cardio for the potential weight-loss benefits, it doesn’t seem to matter whether you’re fasted or fed so long as you’re in a calorie deficit at the end of the day.
