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

2:53 – the basics of fat loss without calorie, carb, or fat deficits

12:21 – the effects of hormones on fat gain and fat loss

21:12 – endotoxin and other factors that affect fat gain and fat loss

27:44 – a picture of fat loss without a calorie deficit

32:50 – is it even possible to accurately measure calories in and out?

36:56 – is the calorie in/calories out equation relevant to our physiology?

49:55 – the physiology of fat loss

53:36 – environmental factors as the culprit for weight gain

1:01:48 – how an energy surplus can support fat loss

A 180-pound person would release around 190g of stored fat per day via lipolysis (1)

Calorie estimation for almonds may be off by 25% (1)
A considerable amount of calories are lost through our digestive system and are never absorbed (1)

Ep. 1: Energy Is Everything (podcast episode)
The idea that a caloric surplus causes weight gain (or that a caloric deficit causes weight loss) is circular and therefore logically vacant (quote) (1)
