About this listen

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.

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.

A comprehensive and engaging course

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.
