So the only way that happens is that if that exercise is causing you to eat more, right?

And you say, well, why are you eating more?

It's like, well, because you're hungry.

Like the exercise is inducing you to eat more and that's gonna make it difficult to lose weight, right?

And that's the reason why exercise is very hard to exercise enough to lose weight.

And that's not to say that you shouldn't exercise.

You really should exercise.

Everybody should exercise.

But if you're trying to lose weight, you still got to focus on the main thing.

topic, which is the foods that you eat, which is not just the calories.

It's about the types of food that you eat, which is going to affect the hormonal balance and also how often you eat.

If you're eating all the time versus if you're eating only eating very infrequently, then you're going to have a different hormonal balance that is going to affect your weight as well.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is the whole idea of sort of eating all the time.

And this I find fascinating because it was this sort of inadvertent change in our diet that we never talked about, right?

So in 1977, we told people eat lots of carbs, okay?

So we know that, that's in print.

For sure, the American government said eat 55 to 60% carbs, eat less fat.

What happened is that, you know, in 1977, people ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

No snacks.
