Fasted Cardio, Protein vs. Fiber, and the Truth About Mouth Taping

Fasted cardio isn’t a magic fat-loss tool. While you may burn more fat during the workout, the difference disappears over 24 hours — unless you’re an endurance athlete training specifically to improve fat utilization. Intermittent fasting is generally not recommended while breastfeeding, especially early postpartum, when nutrient and energy needs are high to protect milk supply. Mouth taping has limited evidence for specific conditions like mild sleep apnea but offers no proven broad health benefits. Protein and fiber aren’t competitors; both are essential for satiety, health, and performance, and most people benefit from eating more of each! If you’re hungry despite eating “healthy,” add more protein or healthy fats and consider higher-volume foods. Workouts under 45 minutes can be highly effective if they’re well-structured and purposeful. The key takeaway: skip the absolutes and choose what works best for your goals, lifestyle, and body.
