Deep dives

The Role of Caloric Deficit

Maintaining a caloric deficit is essential for weight loss, but simply reducing calories can lead to metabolism adjustments within the body. When calories are lowered, the endocrine system causes the body to become more efficient, which can slow down weight loss efforts and increase hunger and cravings. Many individuals who attempt calorie-restrictive diets find it increasingly difficult due to heightened willpower demands and a stubborn metabolism that often begins to slow in their late 20s or early 30s. This perspective suggests that the traditional caloric deficit model might not be sustainable for long-term weight management.
