If we don't like what we see in the mirror, we tend to think, "Wow, I really need to lose some weight!" But the truth is you might not need to lose weight. What you really need to do is lose fat and gain muscle. That change will make you look better, feel better, and perform better--whether your bathroom scale tells you any weight is lost in the process or not. If you truly change your body composition, you'll see and feel the results you've been looking for! New diet and fitness plans come at us daily in the popular press, but this course is different. Changing Body Composition through Diet and Exercise presents the latest scientific research in the field of performance nutrition. From the macro to the molecular, this solid, science-based information will help you understand your own body better than you ever have. Professor Ormsbee, a renowned nutrition and exercise expert, provides a complete and comprehensive look at human bioenergetics and performance nutrition.
