Episode notes
Starvation Mode Is A Myth
- Starvation mode, as popularly described, does not exist; calorie deficits reliably produce weight loss.
- Controlled studies show very low calorie diets cause large, sustained weight loss rather than stalls.
Use A Recovery Phase After Dieting
- After dieting, use a metabolic restoration/recovery phase to reverse deficit-induced adaptations.
- Raise calories to maintenance or above and rebuild lost lean mass to restore metabolism.
Coach's Longterm Contest Prep Experience
- Brandon DeCruz has done 15 stage preps and 100+ photoshoots and tracked himself into very low bodyfat without ever hitting a permanent stall.
- He reports never experiencing a diet where continued calorie control failed to produce weight loss.
