The Problem with Exercise for Weight Loss

from The Strength Log · host Daniel Richter & Philip Wildenstam

In theory, it's simple: just exercise more to lose weight. In practice, that is rarely what we see happen. Why is that? In this episode, we discuss a new, really cool study that looked into one of the many ways our bodies adapt and react when we suddenly start burning more calories than we eat. There is more going on than us becoming more lazy the rest of the day, or simply compensating by eating more calories—and these are the kind of insights we're here for! *** Do you like what you hear so far?
