Metabolism Differences Explained
- Differences in metabolism are mainly due to variations in lean body mass and daily activity levels, not inherently "fast" or "slow" metabolism.
- Hunger, activity, and subconscious movements also greatly influence metabolic rates and weight changes.
Manage Diet Stress Effectively
- Stay busy and plan activities to reduce psychological stress during dieting.
- Reduce training volume to about two-thirds to manage fatigue while dieting and preserve energy for daily activities.

- Diet breaks offer both physiological benefits like lean body mass retention and psychological relief.
- Effectiveness varies as some regain compliance while others tend to binge and lose control after breaks.
