We have calories that are not in, it's not hard to find, and our body's evolutionary mechanism is simply not caught up. So what it does to stall out weight gain or weight loss is one of two main mechanisms.

It increases hunger drive and it lowers our knee levels, the non-exercise activity thermogenesis, which is just a fancy way of saying all of the movement that we do that's not dedicated exercise. And this can account for up to 2,000 extra calories per day.

So if you are moving a lot, particularly in people that have very active jobs, nurses, teachers, agricultural jobs, you could be burning as many calories as a whole other person without even realizing it. And this metabolic adaptation, the way that it can stall out our weight loss efforts and the way that we can get into this weight regain that you were alluding to earlier that is such a problem,

is because as we've lost this weight and the severity or the level of weight loss itself is what really drives these two adaptations, the increased hunger and the lowered meat levels. The total weight loss tends to drive those. Now, when we monitor these and you can do it as a proxy through step count and figure out, hey, when I started this fat loss journey, I was at 8,000 steps per day.

And now after I've lost 20 pounds, I'm all of a sudden at 6,000 steps per day. That's a lot of extra calories that you're losing and you're burning as the burn during the day. And so what we find a lot of times with this weight regain is because of those increased hunger levels, we start to snack more, which means we are taking in a lot more calories than what we were originally doing.

And then we move less. And that extra calorie burn that we lose from this daily activity tends to cause us to creep up and up and up. And so these two mechanisms in combination can be a real pain for people that are trying to keep the weight off.

There's two things that come to mind. There is goal setting and then there is a restrictive mindset. And so the people that have issues with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, because it really is an entire lifestyle change. The big issue is that people look at this as a diet and a diet seems like it has a timeframe or that's something that you do and then give up.
