Ugh. How many times must the "metabolism myth" come up? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FAST OR SLOW METABOLISM!!! Everyone has the same metabolic rate. If you have a Fast or slow metabolism, get to a DR asap. You have a disorder

Leptin resistance is bs. Ever notice how picky fat people are? Their body is trying to tell them something. Perfect example on fattit

But when you diet, your body becomes more fuel efficient, burning fewer calories to accomplish those same tasks. It goes from being a Hummer to being a Honda Civic, in terms of fuel consumption. And that fuel efficiency can be permanent.

Fucking duh? If you go from a 300-pound landwhale to a 130-pound human, of course you are going to need fewer calories to maintain a lower mass. Fat isn't an inactive tissue; it needs a blood supply and secretes hormones. All that requires energy in the form of calories. So of course once you get rid of all the extra fat, your body doesn't need that energy anymore... so your BMR goes down.

If you call saying no to the pastry tray often enough to maintain human shape a struggle, a true test of willpower, and something that depletes your "willpower reserves," you're a failure. You have to eat a shitload of pastries to get to the size these things do. Not having the willpower to prevent that is pathetic.

I don't understand why the resting metabolism change would be permanent.

Even if it is true, people complain about a lower metabolism like it's a bad thing. Everywhere else we show off efficiency with pride, Hybrids, LED lights, etc, but with metabolism somehow it's bad.

Because your BMR reduces as you lose weight. A person who is 300lbs is going to have a much higher BMR than someome who is 130lbs. Your metabolism decreases because you decrease. Less of you means you use less fuel throughout your day.

I'm aware of that, but they claims it stays lower even if they gain weight back. My guess is that the gut flora changes.

Fat-enabling bullshit. If you're hungry on a diet, u're on the wrong diet. Besides let's be real, everyone is on a diet, everyone. Diet is just what we eat on a daily basis, it's a way of life, it's how you eat, it's what you eat, and if you permanently change that your body will change. If you're only eating healthy because you're on a diet, of course you'll fail when you go off the diet, that's just code for going back to the same crap u started with.

No matter your metabolism, if you burn more calories than you consume you'll lose weight.
