What does Maintenance Phase mean?
Maintenance phases are short periods of elevated Calories, throughout a longer-term weight loss goal. Another term often used is 'diet break'. However, this term 'diet break' can create the idea of a “nutrition holiday” or being completely “off” nutrition, so for this reason 'maintenance phase' is the preferred term.

What we get wrong when we talk about fat?

What is the purpose of the Maintenance Phase of an exercise program?
A maintenance phase is one phase or “macrocycle” (a large portion of a training year) that you should use during the start and duration of each athletic or competitive season. As mentioned before, this phase is used to preserve the strength, power, and muscle mass that was built in the many months prior to the season.
What is the wellness industrial complex?
The Wellness Industrial Complex is my name for the heady industry in which wellness and capitalism collide. Wellness is BIG business: $4 trillion dollars (yes, that's with a “t”). That's larger than even the pharmaceutical industry. The world of wellness brings a lot of good to our planet and its people.
Can I lose fat on maintenance calories?
If you are truly eating maintenance calories, it's unlikely you will lose fat, since fat loss requires a calorie deficit. However, there are circumstances where fat loss on maintenance calories is possible, such as for someone who is very overweight, or someone new to lifting who is changing their body composition.

If you can never get enough true crime... Congratulations, you’ve found your people.
Patreon?
I didn't realize how young of a podcast this is, or how few episodes they had. I've run through their whole catalogue and have listened to many episodes several times. I cannot get enough!!! I've been on the fence about Patreon for a few weeks. I desperately crave more MP content but am not sure about being a patron.
Secret Eaters
How do we request show topics. I just recently became aware of a British show called Secret Eaters. It has 3 seasons. It's so shameful and has incredibly shotty scientific experiments. I would LOVE to hear Mike and Aubrey rip this apart!
Olivia Munn in a Fatsuit
I know they touched on Olivia Munn's fatphobia during The Grifties episode, but the casting news today (she's going to be on some Walking Dead spin-off) got me thinking about the worst thing I've ever seen her do.
just a tiny note about my favorite thing in this podcast
Michael and Aubrey's dynamic is awesome and entertaining to listen to. Both are great storytellers and the listener/reactor each week does it so expertly.
