This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to one of the OGs in the strength, fitness, diet and science space, Dr Eric Trexler. Eric was one of the first on the internet (it seems) to really dive into metabolic adaptation and what that means for anyone who embarks on a calorie restricted diet. Mikki and Eric discuss how this differs to the constrained energy expenditure model, the interplay of diet and exercise in both of these and strategies to help overcome for better overall health and performance. They also discuss how his understanding of metabolism has evolved over time.
