So on average, increases in NEAT.
NEAT, or non-exercise activity thermogenesis, are about 200 to 300 calories.
So you increase your energy expenditure about 200 to 300 calories if you're overeating.

That's
an adaptation.
That's the adaptation in the caloric surplus side.
So in the caloric deficit side, it's just the opposite thing, just the mirror of it.
So people decrease their non-exercise activity thermogenesis or their NEAT.
They decrease it on average like two to three-ish hundred calories as a result of dieting.
So this is part of a metabolic adaptation that occurs with dieting.
that's correct.
So with the dieting side of things, which is much more of a public health issue, weight loss is much more of a necessity than the weight gain.
It's tougher for most people because in addition to the decrease in non-exercise activity that'll cost people 200 to 300-ish calories that they're no longer burning at the end of the dieting cycle, then you've got...
what's called adaptive thermoreduction.
Okay, so you mentioned adaptive thermogenesis.
Technically, there's non-shivering adaptive thermogenesis and there's shivering adaptive thermogenesis, but that all has to do with increases in energy expenditure in response to cold environments.
So technically, that's what adaptive thermogenesis is.
It's the increase in energy expenditure.
When people diet, there's something called adaptive thermoreduction.
