Episode 21 - THE REVERSE DIET DEBATE

In this episode, we host the first ever Reverse Diet Debate featuring Eric Helms + Menno Henselmans (against) vs. Layne Norton + Peter Fitschen (for).  Topics covered include: - Opening statements and rebuttals - Defining "maintenance calories"- How does reverse dieting work in the absence of changes in body composition?- What are "adaptive metabolisms"?- Ad libitum and intuitive eating approaches post-contest- Can you diet on higher calories in prep after a successful reverse? Does it "carry over"? - What is the role of NEAT in reverse dieting and metabolic adaptation?- Is there value in increasing calories in the off-season (not post show)?
