INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC OF ADAPTIVE METABOLISMS

WHAT IS A METABOLIC PHENOTYPE? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPENDTHRIFT AND THRIFTY PHENOTYPE?

DOES HAVING A THRIFTY METABOLISM LEAD TO LESS SUCCESS IN A FAT LOSS PHASE AND A LOWER LIKELIHOOD OF LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS MAINTENANCE?

OUR OWN EXPERIENCE WITH DIFFERENT PHENOTYPES AND ADAPTIVE METABOLISMS
