In my inaugural solo episode, I will embark on a scientific exploration of weight loss. Together, we will delve into the various types of exercises, examining the evidence behind each and their impact on weight loss, aiding us in selecting the most effective method. Additionally, we'll delve into the pivotal role of exercise in addressing obesity. Furthermore, we will unravel the strategies necessary for maintaining our ideal weight once it's achieved. Throughout the episode, I'll touch on the metabolic effects of exercise, and at the end give some recommendations. I've included extracts of interviews with two experts: Dr. Vassilis Mougios, professor at Aristotle University in Greece, whose interview and entire discussion are presented in episode 1, and Dr. Gary Hunter, professor at the University of Alabama, who is my guest on episode 5.
