And that is that part of it is a decrease in non-exercise activity thermogenesis.

that's the activity part.

Yeah.

But then there's also the metabolic part.

So we've got a decrease in non-exercise activity.

Yeah.

Then we have adaptive thermoreduction, which has to do with a metabolic component that has to do with the sympathetic nervous system and also potentially thyroid output as well.

So there's this metabolic change that goes on and there's behavioral or activity change that goes on.

So when people say

When people say I have a slow metabolism, what's usually happening is they have a pretty massive drop in NEAT or non-exercise activity to the order of 200 to 300 calories.

Now, adaptive thermoreduction is another 50 to 100 calories.

Okay.

So we're looking at in the neighborhood of like possibly 300, 400 calories that they're no longer burning as a result of the dieting process.

Now, if you take somebody with clinically diagnosed hypothyroidism, then their resting metabolic rate could be 7% to 10% lower than somebody without a thyroid issue.

So you add another –

one to 200 calories less burned over here, then you have the potential for five to 600 calories of energy expenditure that this person is challenged with at the end of their dieting cycle.

So I

Yes, but I have to emphasize the major component that slows down is your non-exercise activity.

You're not moving around as much.

Yes.
