When you feed them more food, they actually burn even a couple hundred calories extra, but it's not a thousand calories. And so between the metabolism resetting up a little bit, the teeny effect you get from muscle and the 80% of them just not gorging themselves every fucking other meal sometimes or every few days,

That is what explains most of the variance because I've dealt with clients like that. Sometimes you hear the darndest fucking shit. Like I had a woman be like, I eat like 1200 calories and I can't lose any weight. I'm like, no, like a thermodynamics is undefeated. And I'm like, just tell me about your day. And it turns out she was like walking by, like she worked from home.

She was walking by her living room and like getting her hand into the fucking pecans and almonds mix and just jamming it down her throat like four times a day. And not counting that. Bitch, that's 300 calories every time. Are you out of your fucking mind? I had another client, no offense, former clients. She was like, I can't lose weight. I've been eating 800 calories.

She wasn't counting fruit juice and she had it all day long. And so if the question is, are your clients bullshitting themselves low key with good intentions or did like the... Founders of modern physics misunderstand thermodynamics, man, you know, unless that bitch builds a fucking gravity canceling spaceship and is like, see, thermodynamics was wrong.

I'm going to believe the fact that she's just cramming hot dogs behind my back, which is, you know, like it's fucking sobering, but it's probably true.

For sure. And it's like, especially the part where they've been dieting for so long that their energy expenditure subconsciously is just way lower is a big part. It's not the biggest part because I think misreporting intakes the biggest. But in some cases, that reduced energy expenditure can be the biggest part. And in many cases, it is a large part.

And so not chronically dieting anymore, giving your body enough food to just kind of breathe free can be hundreds of calories difference. And I mean, like, it's really fucked. It's really sad because you can have a whole six-month period where you were starving yourself and you weighed 132 pounds. And then after four months of reverse dieting, you're eating, like –
