Changing Body Composition through Diet and Exercise

We tend to think, I really need to lose some weight! if we don’t like what we see in the mirror or if we struggle to walk to the corner store. You might not need to lose weight. Are you surprised? Losing fat and gaining muscle is what you need to do. The change will make you look better, feel better, and perform better. If you focus on losing weight as your only metric, you could lose both fat and strength. How will that help you walk a mile? You will see and feel the results if you change your body composition. Hide the full description.

How can I get started? Is it a good idea to avoid red meat and eat only carbs? Do you want to avoid carbs and focus on healthy fats? Will 500 crunches a day turn that belly fat into a six pack? Do you need to exercise three times a week? New diet and fitness plans can be found in the popular press, on the radio, and on TV. There are conflicting paths to health and fitness in the library and bookstore.

This course isn’t the same. Changing Body Composition through Diet and Exercise presents the latest scientific research in the field of performance nutrition. This solid, science-based information will help you understand your body better than you have before. In 24 in-depth lectures, Professor Michael Ormsbee, Associate Professor and Interim Director of the Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine in the College of Human Sciences at Florida State University, clearly explains.

The tissues in your body receive the food you eat. The energy you need to function and perform is what your body uses. Specific nutrition and specific types of exercises can help you lose fat, gain muscle, and feel more energetic in your daily life.

Dr. Ormsbee is a former collegiate athlete and is currently a weight-lifter and triathlon competitor. The technical material is engaging and easy to follow because of his easy-going style. The course provides a complete and comprehensive look at human bioenergetics and performance nutrition, but each lecture is self-contained with easily accessible material. Changing Body Composition through Diet and Exercise can help you meet your goals even if you prefer the A-Z view.

Get it immediately. Diet and exercise can be used to change body composition.

Dr. Ormsbee presents diet and exercise recommendations in small steps that men and women of all ages and fitness levels can follow. Each lecture has a suggestion for you to consider. No tricks, no quick fixes, just real science.

What will happen to the food you eat?

You just took that first bite of a muffin and had your first sip of coffee with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. While you are focused on the conversation, your body is working hard to digest your food, absorb and partition the vitamins and minerals, and store the waste for later removal. You will learn about it.

The first bite of the three categories of macronutrients begins to break them down into usable nutrition. The chemical processes occurring in the 300- square-meter surface area of your small intestine, where the greatest percentage of vitamins and minerals are absorbed, and why your body needs different groups ofidases to break down different types of sugars. Every cell’s function is affected by how the resulting molecule are partitioned throughout the body. Your hormones affect those processes.

Which is more important, diet or exercise? We have an answer.

You need to exercise. It makes you feel good if you have been exercising for a while. If you have recently stepped up your exercise program, you might not be seeing the results you were hoping for.

Dr. Ormsbee says that simply exercising more and eating less isn’t the key for improving body composition. We had been preaching that for a long time. It doesn’t work all that well.

What does it do?

Understanding which type of exercise uses which source of energy in the body is what works. You will learn about it.

The relationship between metabolism and bioenergetics. All functions of life are made possible by the chemical processes that release stored energy. Which sources of energy are used for high-intensity exercise, low-intensity exercise, and the work of maintaining our bodies while we are at rest, e.g., breathing, regulating temperature, maintaining blood flow, etc. The amount of calories burned during exercise. The best way to get the most out of our diet is by exercising for optimal performance and body composition. Specific exercises for fat loss. Specific exercises to increase muscle mass. Optimal body composition is dependent on exercise and food intake.

What about your friend who takes vitamins, minerals, and supplements throughout the day? She says they are important, but does the science back her up? Are artificial sweeteners, standing desks, and cleanse diet helpful, harmful, or insignificant? The latest thinking on those topics will always be based on rigorous scientific research. You will hear that if the research results are not conclusive. We don’t have all the answers yet in this exciting new field, as Dr. Ormsbee explains.

Dr. Ormsbee gives some real-world advice for sticking with your individualized nutrition and exercise program. There is a difference between those who only start a program and those who stick with it. The lessons in this course can change your life by helping you to feel better, perform better, and be healthier now and into your older years.

Dr. Ormsbee says the health benefits of exercise and eating right are clear. If a pill could provide half the benefits of good nutrition and fitness, it would be a best seller.
