Ep. 38: The Physiology of Fat Loss Without a Caloric Deficit

In this episode we discuss:

• The physiology of fat loss without a calorie deficit or cutting carbs or fat
• Why insulin doesn’t cause fat gain
• Where excess calories go if they aren’t stored as fat
• Why increasing “fat-burning” doesn’t increase fat loss
• Why it’s nearly impossible to accurately measure “calories in” and “calories out”
• How an energy surplus can lead to healthy fat loss
