#161 - When calories in Calories out is "flawed" - STOP LIVING IN A DEFICIT!
We all have periods of time that need to be focused on building metabolic capacity, and our relationship with food and BUILDING our metabolic engines…. Improvement season. This is why its a lifestyle. Its about actively pursuing goals, recovering from that or then building and sustaining. YOUR BODY doesnt know that you want to look better - it senses it as a threat so it does what it can to “survive” and bring it back to “equilibrium” . It subconciously makes your body move less (like fidgeting, just unconscious movement) , it increases hunger, it decreases your ability to BURN FAT (downregulates metabolic processes) because the body wants that for surviving and thriving. The further you deviate from set point, and the longer you do it for… the more you will adapt to the lower calories and the longer it will take to rebuild from that! Your body will then reduce your hormonal and metabolic processes.
