How did Michael Hobbes and Aubrey Gordon meet?

Although Hobbes and Gordon followed each other's work for years, they'd only met once in real life before starting the podcast (which they record virtually), when Gordon was in Seattle for a few days. “We met for dinner at 4 P.M., hung out, and just had a delightful goddamn conversation,” Gordon remembers.

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.

Is Maintenance Phase a good podcast?

Great Podcast! “Really interesting topics given in an informative, funny and respectful way! Would absolutely recommend!”

What we get wrong when we talk about fat?

In What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon unearths the cultural attitudes and social systems that have led to people being denied basic needs because they are fat and calls for social justice movements to be inclusive of plus-sized people's experiences.

Why is it called Maintenance Phase?

On the podcast “Maintenance Phase,” named after the concept of sustaining post-diet weight loss, Ms. Gordon and the journalist Michael Hobbes spend each episode exploring what they call the “wellness-industrial complex,” debunking health fads and nutritional advice.

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.

What happens during maintenance phase?

The maintenance phase happens after the project team deploys the software and it's fully operational in the customer environment. During the maintenance phase, the customer monitors the software to ensure it continues to operate according to the coding specifications.

Can you gain fat on maintenance calories?

If you put more than just the maintenance level of calories into your body, you could build muscle or put on fat. In contrast, you can lose weight if you decrease your caloric intake below the maintenance threshold.

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.
