Fat Loss Physiology
- Fat storage evolved for survival during famines.
- Losing fat requires creating a calorie deficit by consuming fewer or burning more calories.
Calorie Importance
- Calories are paramount for fat loss; thermodynamics dictates this.
- Those who deny this likely misunderstand the role of exercise and dietary changes on calorie intake/output.
Calorie Tracking
- Track calories if weight loss stalls despite dietary changes.
- Otherwise, if current methods work, continue without tracking.
