Understanding Popular Diets (Fuel-Up Friday)
Manage episode 432124914 series 2966367
Today, we're diving into the world of popular diets. We'll uncover the science behind them, explore their benefits and drawbacks, and help you understand which might be the best fit for your health and wellness goals. So, grab your pen and paper, and let's get started!
The human body is an incredibly adaptive system. When placed in a caloric deficit, it initially loses weight, but this progress eventually stalls. Evolution has designed our bodies to survive on less energy when necessary, leading to adaptations like reduced thyroid function, decreased non-exercise activity (NEAT), and lowering energy for training. This means that what was once a caloric deficit now becomes the new baseline.
To achieve long-term success in weight management, we need a dynamic approach to setting caloric deficits. In this episode, we'll cover strategies for periodization, exploring both microcycles and macrocycles, and how to arrange macronutrients to support health and body composition outcomes.
