I was a bit disappointed after week 1, I’d not lose any weight and only 1 inch (3 cm) from my waist but I wasn’t giving up, I’d read to many success stories for that. I went back to the website and did lots of scrolling and reading and decided to change week 2 and only eat 2 meals a day, I’d not been hungry on week 1 so this wasn’t an issue. I only ate lunch and dinner, this let me get some 16:8 intermittent fasting...

See this: Chris Pine woos Wonder Woman

When Star Trek star Chris "Captain Kirk" Pine appeared on our cover for his third time in our July/August 2016 issue, he couldn't stop gushing about his next tentpole: Wonder Woman (opening June 2), in which he plays the love interest of Gal Gadot (watch her kick ass in the trailer here). "I'm basically 15 again," he told us.
