What to Watch After You Finish “The Boys”

Amazon Prime Video certainly has a hit on their hands with “The Boys,” and while the second season has already been greenlit it’ll still be a while before we see our favorite “heroes” on screen again. So what to do in the meantime? Well, Amazon Prime Video is still upping their offerings when it comes to superhero shows, but for the moment fans may have to venture elsewhere to get their fix. Here are two more shows you can watch while you wait for season 2 of “The Boys.”

The Umbrella Academy. Based on the comics of Gerard Way, (yes, the frontman from My Chemical Romance) The Umbrella Academy follows the path of seven remarkable children, all born on October 1, 1989, all adopted by the enigmatic billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves. The children were formed into a superhero team, but the family later became fractured only to be reunited by the death of their adopted father, who still holds a few secrets even in the afterlife. A second season is already in the works, and it’ll see the return of Ellen Page, Tom Hopper and Robert Sheehan among others.

Gotham. If you’ve ever wondered what forces were at play to create a city in need of a hero like Batman, then Gotham is for you. Although the series just aired its final season, there’s plenty of action and intrigue to keep you occupied for a while. Starring Ben McKenzie as a young James Gordon and a whole cast of familiar faces from the Batman comics, the 100 episodes of Gotham are well worth the investment.

Intermittent Fasting to Maintain a Healthy Body Weight

More and more people are trying to lose weight, especially weight gained after some holiday feasting, and traditionally, those looking to shed a few pounds turn to diet. With an overwhelming amount of diets and plenty of contradictory information surrounding them, however, dieting can be tricky. But rather than counting calories or restricting certain foods, another option exists to help shed a few unwanted pounds and maintain a healthy body weight: Intermittent fasting.

The concept of intermittent fasting involves restricting the times you eat as opposed to what or how much you eat. Discretion should be exercised, of course, as excessive eating is still harmful, even when only done within a certain time window. Studies have shown that intermittent fasting can be a powerful weight loss and fat burning tool, and can be incorporated into an everyday lifestyle to help maintain a healthy body weight.

For beginners, the 12:12 method is recommended. That is to say, a period of 12 hours of eating, followed by 12 hours of fasting. Let’s say you have your breakfast at 8 am on any given day. By following an intermittent fasting regime, you would finish eating dinner by 8 pm and avoid any further eating before your 8 am breakfast on the following morning. The idea may seem difficult at first, but you could start out slowly by finishing your last meal of the day at 9 pm or 10 pm at first until your body adapts. From there you could consider 14:10 or 16:8 methods, but it’s best not to rush and take it one step at a time.
