Dr. Eric Trexler: Poverty Macros, and Changing your Body-Fat Set-Point

Описание: In today’s episode I’m chatting with Dr. Eric Trexler, researcher, bodybuilder and overall, very smart guy. He is currently the director of education at Stronger by Science and is also a research reviewer at MASS.
His main topics of interest include creatine, caffeine, and metabolic adaptation. In todays episode we mainly focused on the latter topic; why our calories have to go incrementally lower over the course of a diet, often beyond what we would predict.

We also covered why some people have it seemingly easier than others, why big guys sometimes have to diet on very low calories whereas smaller ones can often eat a ton, and whether having a ‘fast metabolism’ is truly an actual advantage for fat-loss.
This was a fascinating conversation, definitely one of my favourites to date.
