Rolla, ND | Well that’s the theory, and it is kind of correct.
The problem in applying it is that we are hormone regulated creatures.
Somwhat happens if you eat 350nfewre calories a day? Well, at first, you lose weight like expected, 2 or 3 months in it looks like a great success. But by then failure is on the way. The body downregulates the basal metabolism, which is what uses most of your calories and you gradually start to gain the weight back. If you continue you go back to where you were, just you are cold.
Most give up on the diet and the pounds fly back on.
Same thing for exercise, appears to work for weight loss at first, but doesn’t long term.
Up to know a healthy person is assumed.
Problem is on top of that, over half of people are not metabolic healthy. They have elevated insulin.
Let’s say you are eating the same calories as the healthy person, what happens? Weight gain. Because the insulin prevents the back and forth of storage as fat, it becomes a one way street. So you get people gaining on a diet that it would seem they should be losing.
And people who upregulate eat such you would think they would gain, but they don’t.
People are not a steady state physics experiment where just one thing is varied at a time.

Low insulin level equals high metabolic rate
