In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Alan Flanagan to discuss the research on weight maintenance. Specifically, which factors are the most important for keeping weight off in the long-term. Alan Flanagan has an MSc in Nutritional Medicine, is currently pursuing his Ph.D., and a former practicing Lawyer (Barrister) from Dublin, Ireland.
