Most of the weight loss efforts fail to provide long-term weight maintenance. Recent research has shown the value and increased likelihood of weight loss success and long-term maintenance by adopting a flexible restraint form while dieting. However, the literature regarding resistance-trained populations is scarce. In this episode, Laurin Conlin walks us through the first dietary intervention study investigating a flexible vs. rigid diet and its effect on body composition and metabolism during a diet phase and a post-diet phase on a resistance-trained population, without neglecting practical applications!
