Today, I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Bill Campbell, a professor and director of the Performance and Physique Enhancement Lab at the University of South Florida and the creator of Body by Science, a review summarizing the latest and best research on fat loss and muscle-building. His research focuses on helping people optimize their physiques within a sustainable lifestyle. In our discussion, we tackle common misconceptions about fat loss and explore ways to measure body fat rather than lean mass. We look at the mechanisms that increase hunger and slow metabolism when body fat is too low, the effects of crash and yo-yo dieting, the menopause transition, and contributors to weight-loss resistance. We cover concerns related to muscle protection, protein needs, and lifestyle habits in strength training. Dr. Campbell also defines diet breaks, discusses his concerns about time-restricted and intermittent fasting when protein intake is insufficient, and shares some of his favorite supplements. You will love this informative conversation with the delightful Dr. Bill Campbell.
