Summary: Eating less and exercising more has been proven wrong but is still how we're all told to lose weight. We are told that our metabolism sits back while we consciously regulate our weight. That is not how our body works. Telling us that we need to manually regulate calories in vs. calories out is about a resonable as telling us that we need to manually regulate breaths in vs. breaths out. If we take care of body, it will automatically take care life-sustaining functions. Think about it like this: We don't have to worry about beating our hearts thanks to our circulatory system. Similarly, we don't have to worry about balancing our calories thanks to our fat metabolism system...or so we'll discuss in this episode. The key to long-term wellness is keeping all of our body's systems working properly by eating a lot of high-quality SANE food, and doing a little , but higher-quality, exercise. In the case of our fat metabolism system, this lowers our set-point weight and keeps us slim "automatically" like naturally slim people. The key question for us is: "How do we get our body to behave more like the body of a naturally thin person?"
