Published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers Dr Thomas Longland and co. showed that during marked energy deficit a diet higher in protein was more effective in promoting increases in lean body mass (muscle) and losses of fat mass when combined with a high volume of resistance training (weights) and anaerobic exercise (sprints)….
It is often assumed that the best type of exercise – for treating obesity and therefore reducing current widespread levels of societal adiposity – is to preferentially increase aerobic or cardiorespiratory physical activity rather than resistance exercise or training. This assumption is based on the premise that aerobic-based exercise substantially increases total daily energy expenditure…
In part 1 of “The Ebbeling vs. Hall trials: Re-visiting How Diet Affect Energy Expenditure & Weight Loss” I argued that the conclusions made by authors of the Ebbeling trial – where it was purported that a very low carbohydrate diet significantly mitigated the reduction in energy expenditure subsequent to weight loss compared to diets higher…

Sensationalised, poorly researched and inaccurate media presentations have misled consumers because a thorough assessment of the evidence wasn’t undertaken. Some sports scientists and doctors have further exacerbated the problem by claiming that physical inactivity does not…
