Summary

Should you avoid red meat and eat only carbs, or avoid carbs and focus on healthy fats? Will 500 crunches a day turn that belly fat into a “six pack”, or should you stick to cardio three times a week? Changing Body Composition Through Diet and Exercise presents the latest scientific research about changing your body composition, along with diet and exercise recommendations in incremental steps that men and women of all ages and fitness levels can follow. From the macro to the molecular, this course takes a science-based view to debunk common weight-loss misconceptions and help you understand your own body better than you ever have.

Led by Professor Michael Ormsbee, Assistant Professor and Interim Director of the Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine, you will gain access to cutting-edge research that demonstrates what does - and doesn’t - work. The lessons presented in this course can change your life by helping you to feel better, perform better, and be healthier now and into your older years.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Factual & Enjoyable Series

This is a well structured, enjoyable series of lectures on basically everything you didn't know about how the body works with a heavy bias towards nutrition, health, fitness & weight loss.

The only bad thing I can say is the repetitive health guidance warnings at the end of each chapter are annoying. Hit the 30 sec fast forward for those.

Thorough and unbiased information

Yet another excellent Great Courses Lecture Series. I've learnt a lot about nutrition and exercise and how to build small changes into my day. It was very easy to listen to and engaging. Thank you

Insightful, educational and unbiased

Unlike most books in the same field, this one took a neutral position towards things like different types of diets.. Etc. Its focusing on the science of nutrition and exercise and backed with research data it provides information and practical advise for the general audience. It's very hard to choose the right way based on your own goals given the variations today, what I liked about this book is that it explains the whys and the hows to help choosing what works for me and what not. Highly recommended.

Re-enforcing the fundamentals in depth.

There are a few new and useful facts that I learnt from these lectures. Plus, the lectures re-enforce the common knowledge of eating healthily and exercising regularly but in great depth.
