In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Chris Melby to discuss energy flux and its implications for improving long-term weight loss maintenance success. Chris completed a Doctor of Public Health degree at Loma Linda University. He began his career at Colorado State University (CSU) in 1990 after spending 8 years as a faculty member at Purdue University. He served for 10 years as department head at CSU and now holds a regular faculty appointment in Food Science and Human Nutrition. His research focuses on the role of nutrition and physical activity to reduce risk factors for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease with an emphasis on improving health inequities.References:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6835968/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5452198/Timestamps00:00 Introduction01:15 Energy Flux03:25 Metabolic Scope06:50 The benefits of achieving a high energy flux through increasing physical activity17:00 The effect of exercise on appetite21:05 Amount of energy expended during an average bout of exercise26:45 Thinking beyond the number of calories expended during a bout of exercise - indirect benefits35:15 How fat-free mass regulates appetite39:45 Collateral fattening - the importance of muscle preservation while dieting43:45 Constrained total energy expenditure model55:10 Where have we gone wrong in our quest to attenuate the obesity crisis?To sign-up for coaching or a one-time consult:Website: http://hammerawayfitness.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/hammerawayfitness/You can follow and support Chris at:https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christopher_Melby Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/themusclememoirs)
