It could also, there's lots of other things that could determine where calories go, muscle, body fat, right? With the same lean body mass though. So in other words, the same lean body mass, your body can decide to burn more or less calories. In other words, it can become more or less efficient.

And when you cut your calories, you're sending a signal already to your body that says become more efficient. That's what happens. So think of it this way. You have a job, you earn X amount of dollars per month, and you have so many bills. Suddenly, your income cuts in half. What are you going to do with your bills? You're going to try and reduce them.

So your body immediately, when you cut calories, no matter what, no matter what, no matter how good you do it, by the way, this always happens, your body's like, okay, we need to learn how to conserve more because we're taking in less. The same thing happens with dramatic increases of activity, especially activity that doesn't build muscle, okay? Activity like high-intensity cardio.

It's just calorie burning, which is fine. But when you send that high-intensity cardio signal, the body also tries to learn how to be more efficient. So when you throw both of them at the person, and I'm not even talking about now the compromised ability to recover from the extra stress, which happens from cut calories. Yeah. It's a perfect storm. This is a huge mistake lots of people make.

They cut calories and dramatically increase activity. Terrible mistake that often results in, this is what happens by the way, I've seen this happen to trainers, is they'll do this, this pursuit of getting lean, they'll lose weight on the scale, go get their body fat test, they actually went up because they lost muscle. Or nothing happened. Like, what's going on? I'm eating so much less.

You know what's funny about this is bodybuilders, because bodybuilders do, there's a lot of things they do that's right. There's a lot of things that they do that are sometimes wrong, but they progress in spite of what's happening. Or there's some other factor that's happening that they're not quite understanding. And that's the benefit that they see.
