I remember being 17, staring in the mirror and wondering if I’d ever break six feet. I wasn’t short-short—but compared to half the varsity basketball team? Felt like it. The thing is, at 17, your body might still be growing, especially if you’re male. You’re in that strange middle zone where some people are maxed …
You’ve probably noticed how every third conversation these days ends up circling back to diets. Keto. Paleo. Mediterranean. And now? Intermittent fasting.
