This is Why You’re Not Losing Fat Around the Midsection (it’s not diet or exercise)

Gotta fast, walk, and lift ❤

If I eat more, I feel so fully that I feel more lazy and do less.

Balance is key. Balance good?..karate good. Everything good……. Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life. Whole life have balance? Everything be better.

I m not losing fat around my midsection because I’ve been watching your videos for 4 years now and have no fat around my midsection . Thanks for all the great information !

Lower insulin levels

Simply put, eat more and move more increases the metabolic “flexibility” to potentially burn more and put one into a deficit easier

Here are the key insights from Thomas DeLauer's video: 1. **Energy Flux vs. Energy Balance**: - Energy flux refers to the total volume of energy moving through the body (intake and expenditure), whereas energy balance is the difference between calories consumed and calories burned. Energy flux plays a crucial role in metabolism and fat loss. 2. **Higher Energy Flux Enhances Metabolism**: - A higher energy flux (high intake and high expenditure) demands more from the body's metabolic systems, potentially leading to a more active metabolism compared to a low energy flux. 3. **Margin of Error in Caloric Intake**: - With a high energy flux, small errors in calorie consumption (e.g., overeating by 200-300 calories) have less impact on fat gain compared to when calorie intake is low. 4. **Calorie Restriction and Metabolic Slowdown**: - Reducing calorie intake can slow down metabolism independently of body composition changes, making fat loss more difficult. Maintaining a higher energy flux can help keep the metabolism more active. 5. **Gradual Increase in Intake and Activity**: - To boost energy flux, DeLauer suggests gradually increasing both caloric intake and physical activity. This approach can enhance metabolism and support sustainable fat loss over time. 6. **Caution Against Imbalance**: - Simply increasing caloric intake without a corresponding increase in activity can lead to fat gain. It's important to maintain a balance between intake and expenditure. 7. **Revisiting Metabolism and Longevity**: - DeLauer challenges the idea that a slower metabolism is better for longevity, suggesting that a higher energy flux might be more beneficial for metabolic health and fat loss. These insights highlight the importance of managing energy flux as a key factor in effective fat loss and metabolic health.

What age does this pertain to? If you’re menopause or post, what normally works, doesn’t. Thanks for the info.

Great video Thomas! It's cool to see that these systems are potentially non-linear
