diet breaks

On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I welcome back Dr. Bill Campbell for a fascinating exploration of diet breaks and refeeds, focusing on their role in muscle hypertrophy, performance, and body composition. Drawing from his extensive research, Dr. Campbell and I discuss the physiological and psychological impacts of diet breaks and refeeds, addressing common misconceptions and emphasizing their potential role in a well-rounded nutrition plan. We also cover intriguing studies including the Matador study and more recent research on resistance-trained individuals, revealing mixed findings about the effects of diet breaks on weight loss and muscle retention.
