In fact, they were doing a study at Illinois when I got there. Lehman's Lab was doing a study that I wasn't involved in, but I just helped out because I was an idiot first-year grad student. All right. they were seeing resolution of obese women's blood markers within like four weeks of just like starting to get the calorie deficit.

It's really impressive how quickly things will clean up when you start, like the human body is very resilient.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. And so when it comes to obesity, what matters? People aren't going to like this, but it's how many calories you eat versus how many calories you expend. That's what makes a difference. And people want to argue it. And I'm like, hey, if you sit down and you tell me, like, we know you need to earn more money than you spend if you want to save money. Nobody's going to argue that, right? Right.

And people, well, you could go, well, but I don't know, you know, expenses fluctuate and you don't know exactly. Okay, cool. But you have an idea, right? And you can do averages, right? well, you know, interest rates and you could get a different return based on... Okay. But you kind of know. But math. But math. But it still boils down to math, right? Yes. And so...

I actually just did a debunk of a video of a guy saying calories in, calories out is too simplistic. If you think calories in, calories out is simple, you don't understand energy balance. Because calories out, people think about these as very static things. And the reality is each influences each other. So calories out isn't just like what you burn in exercise. That's one component of it.

But you have your basal metabolic rate, which is basically the cost of keeping the lights on, just the energy to run your body and systems. And that's about 60% to 70% of your daily energy expenditure, your calories out. Then you have the thermic effect of food, which is how much energy it takes to extract the energy out of food. And that can vary.
