I’m absolutely delighted to have another guest blog from Peter Fitschen today. Peter is one of the smartest guys in the fitness industry, and he’s a highly accomplished natural bodybuilder to boot, so having this piece from him is a real honour. The nutrition industry is overrun with scams, fads and quick fixes, so Peter’s…
