The recent newsletter of the Pump Daily highlighted the Austrian Oak’s dietary regimen, where the bodybuilder anchored his focus on choosing sustainable components rather than searching for the perfect diet. Nonetheless, the bodybuilder asserts, “Ignore the sciency and cut right to the strategies”.

Siding with Intermittent fasting, the Terminator actor added, “intermittent fasting doesn’t outperform other diets”. He added, “but that doesn’t mean closing the kitchen after dinner is a bad idea. In fact, it’s a damn good idea”. Now, coming to the low-carb diet, Schwarzenegger mentioned, “No, insulin doesn’t correlate cleanly with subsequent eating and weight gain, but that doesn’t mean cutting out sugar and refined grains is a bad idea. In fact, it’s a damn good idea”.
