Ep. 210 - The Hidden Complexity of the Simple "Calories In Versus Calories Out" Weight-Loss Recommendation

One of the first "rules" of weight loss we're taught is that whether or not you will lose weight depends on the relationship between the number of calories you eat, and the number of calories you burn. Calories in versus calories out. Eat fewer calories than you burn, and you'll lose weight. Conversely, eat more calories than you burn, and you'll gain weight. Although this concept paints a simplistic picture of what it takes to lose weight, simple is not synonymous with easy. And from personal experience - and I know you agree - losing weight and keeping it off is far more complex than this overly simplified equation.  In today's episode, Micheala and I discuss this concept in detail and share the multi-faceted limitations it invokes on our ability to lose weight and keep it off.  Episode Key Highlights: Learn what "calories in versus calories out" is in a nutshell. Understand why this concept is so heavily touted and the merit it does have in helping you to lose weight.
