Episode notes
Post-Diet Planning Is Missing
- Many regain lost weight because coaches and dieters plan only for the diet, not the post-diet phase.
- Brandon DeCruz calls false narratives like "metabolic damage" and "weight loss resistance" fragility narratives that mislead people.
Measure Energy Flux Holistically
- Measure energy flux by comparing calorie intake to total activity, including NEAT and exercise.
- Use food logs, training, cardio, steps, and sports to determine if someone is low or high flux.
Same Deficit, Different Restriction
- The same absolute calorie deficit can be achieved at very different flux levels, changing relative restriction.
- High flux reduces relative percent calorie cut (e.g., 14% vs 25%) while keeping the same 500 kcal deficit.
