A comprehensive and engaging course

This is a very comprehensive and detailed but highly engaging set of lectures on biochemistry, nutrition, weight loss, and staying fit. I think this course is probably one of the best out of the books/courses I have read/taken so far. It provides very good information on nutrition, exercise, and body composition. The author is very knowledgeable and cuts systematically through the various fad diets and get-slim-quick scams.
I really liked the fact that instead of focusing on weight loss or muscle gain per se, the course instead chooses to concentrate on having higher energy and living life to the fullest by improving one’s body composition.
Each lesson (there are 24 in total) ends with an actionable tip that we can implement into our lives based on the science discussed.
Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in changing their body composition and/or learning deeply about nutrition and exercise.

Better books out there

I found great courses nutrition book by Roberta Anding and fat loss build muscle by Tom Venuto better in content vs this one. having read a lot of books of fat loss and muscle building, I want something specific on body composition. but I guess those books already told me what this one was repeating. if you haven't read anything from anyone, then this book will definitely give great pointers on nutrition, fat, protein carbs etc. for me, it was going through the same information with less depth. I couldn't complete after lesson 15, so don't know how it turns out as the book progresses. but looking at the chapter names, I guess I have read all that information already.
