It's because as you decrease your body size, you decrease your body mass, your body needs less fuel to operate. So your resting metabolic rate is going to go down. No matter what, no matter how you lose the weight, you are going to have some reduction in your resting metabolic rate. And that is going to cause problems in that now you have to eat less to maintain that size.

This is the cycle and loop that folks with obesity get trapped in because they lose 100 pounds, let's say, or they lose 50 pounds or they lose 25 pounds. And now their resting metabolic rate has gone down. So it's going to take more exercise and less food to maintain what they just achieved. This is not an absolute true statement, but this is what I hear folks struggling with obesity say.

It was almost easier before I lost the weight. At least I could maintain that set rate, right? And I didn't have to fight so hard to hold it. But once you lose weight, any of you who've lost any appreciable weight know to hold on to that weight loss, to hold on to where you've dropped to is really difficult to maintain.

So the way that I explain this to folks is if you ran four miles a day to lose five pounds, once you've lost it, you have to now run five miles a day to maintain it or you have to eat much less. All right. So this is the expected resting metabolic rate drop. This is what metabolic adaptation is. It's, it's,

the body going into starvation mode and trying to desperately hold on to what it has, because you've just taken away a bunch of mass if you've lost weight and your body is like, oh no, we must go into starvation mode, that's metabolic adaptation.

We don't really want metabolic adaptation to go up, meaning the more that we have a metabolic adaptation, the more of a starvation mode we've gone into, okay? So when you lose weight, there is an expected resting metabolic rate drop. But what sometimes actually happens, and they figured this out with a couple studies years back, most notably the Biggest Loser Study.

I'll go through that in a bit, the Biggest Loser Study, and I'll explain what happened. But what sometimes happens is when you have a crash diet or you have a significant amount of weight loss in a short amount of time, you get an actual rate
