The bigger the calorie gap, the harder your metabolism hits the brakes and weight loss is achieved at the cost of long-term metabolic health. So all these folks out there, all these folks online saying it's just calories in, calories out, eat less calories, track your calories, track your macros, track your calories. I will say track your macros.

I mean, don't worry about any of them except eat enough protein is my stance on it. If you get enough protein in, you're not going to have any room to be shoving in a bunch of terrible macros on top of it.

But any of these folks helping everyone in the world with their caloric restriction, I really encourage them to track their clients and let me know how they're doing a year later or two years later or three years later. Because I've helped many patients with caloric restriction and metabolic adaptation is real yo. And it is brutal. And it's very hard for those folks to maintain that weight loss.

And the argument against GLP-1s that I've been hearing even recently on some big podcasts with some big-name doctors, I've been hearing them say, oh, well, the problem is, is once you lose all the weight, your metabolic adaptation is going to kick in. It's going to be harder to keep it off.

Yeah, except these peptides seem to be, at least trizepatide, which is a dual agonist, seems to be showing protection against that. So sorry, Dr. So-and-so who keeps spreading that information all over the world with his giant megaphone. You are not correct. All right, so if we were to break this down on a chart, this is how it would go.

The biggest loser study, 30% weight loss, 500 calorie drop a day in their resting metabolic rate, severe metabolic adaptation, high muscle loss, and very high long-term performance. regain risk. All right. The calorie study, again, it's C-A-L-E-R-I-E like Valerie, 10 to 15% loss of weight, 10 to 15% more than predicted resting metabolic rate drop.

So moderate metabolic adaptation on that one, moderate muscle loss and elevated long-term regain risk. In this recent triseptide study from 2025 that I just showed you, 15%, so more than the calorie study, 15% weight loss. Their resting metabolic rate drop was only as predicted. So they did not have metabolic adaptation occur, none. Their muscle loss was lower. So their muscle was protected.

Their fat oxidation was increased. So their metabolism was actually improving and they had a lower risk of long-term regain. That's it. This stuff really is protecting metabolic health, in my opinion. And I'm not saying there's any magic involved. I think it's very simple when you understand how metabolism works.
