Episode notes
Metabolism Is Mostly Stable
- Metabolism is largely static from age 20 to 60 and people overemphasize "boosting" it.
- Extreme dieting is more likely to damage metabolic function than sustainable changes.
The Cost Of Rapid Weight Loss
- Rapid, extreme weight loss often triggers long-term metabolic adaptation that increases hunger.
- Biggest Loser participants burned ~500 fewer calories long-term and had 60% lower leptin.
Coexist With Takeout Not Restaurants
- Eat more meals at home or order takeout (not restaurant) to control portions and oil.
- Ask for less oil, order sauces on the side and pre-portion to save hundreds of calories.
