No science to support his assertions. Also, much of what he asserts is BS and manipulation of fact (i.e. muscle fibers will not change from FT Type IIb to slow twitch Type I). It doesn't happen, no more than a fat cell can become a muscle cell or vice versa.
"Increased appetite and a tendency toward binge eating patterns Aerobic exercise makes people hungry!" This CERTAINLY makes sense, that's why endurance athletes are almost always overweight or obese. 1st amendment is beautiful isn't it, even when the person expressing his/her views is ignorant!!
There is a difference between hunger and appetite, I think you may have both,... and often?
Phelps likely has one more than the other due to caloric deficit.
You are right Shawn, exercise does make you hungry. The author of the blog seemingly claims that just endurance exercise does this. I would contend that LIVING makes you hungry too!! Try going 8-10 hours without food, even if you don't exercise you may end up hungry!!
Finally, some endurance athletes are overweight, but I bet there are a higher percentage of kettlebell throwers overweight than endurance athletes. The question is, what happens when you are an endurance athlete and a kettlebeller? ( If that is a word?)
I have an answer to to the last question, but not much else today. However, I will eventually locate some fun studies for you that complicate the weight-loss picture with endurance activities.
I agree that living makes me hungry. I gain more weight when I am not exercising, surely. But I also tend to make dietary changes when I am exercising. This is why the fine print in every exercise video says "accompanied with dietary controls" or some such variation on that.
I might contend that endurance athletes are thin because running sucks when you are fat. I oughtta know. So people who are fat stop trying to be endurance athletes. Running is the filter. Remember, even in my super-Clydesdale, no experience, no coaching, not very seriously training condition, I still came in from the swim at Morgantown in the top 50% of the field. I think that suggests that I was in reasonable aerobic shape (although Matt has a picture that shows that the shape is pregnant), and I even beat the lanky Craig off the bike, but then I was destroyed in the run. It is demoralizing enough to make me want to quit. I know I would fit in better at a Scottish Highland Games event.
Which brings me to my answer to your question about doing both endurance and heavy kettlebelling. From what I can tell, the benefit I get from doing ballistic Tabata-style stuff is that I don't ever really need to recover. Nothing ever seems to be too much (except running). This is why I am not concerned about doing a Half-iron even though I never train very long. As long as I hydrate and eat, I can go all day, and then go all the next day too. I just wish these days didn't involve so much running!

That's why Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day.
The reason endurance athletes are skinny is because they run all the time, not because they don't eat much.
Furthermore, I am here to prove that endurance athletes are overweight and obese.
