What is going on guys?

Welcome back to another episode of the Aircrobits Fitness Podcast

Podcast.

Hope you're having a great day. This is probably going to be a quick hitting podcast for you. It won't be very long, but I just want to touch on something that I see all the time in the fitness industry and I get tons of questions on and quite frankly there is just so much

misinformation around this specific topic so I want to just do a quick podcast on it so you can know

and you can be educated.

All right?

So first and foremost, it's the question of like,

does your metabolism adapt when you're in a calorie deficit?

Do you, does it lower your metabolism? Do you slow down your metabolism?

And then the piggyback off that is like, how long should you be in a calorie deficit

before this happens? And what should you do to mitigate your metabolism slowing down and

this again what we call metabolic adaptation. You may have also seen some videos of

this where people are like oh my God I was eating 1,200 calories but then I started eating 1,200 calories, but then I started eating 1,800 calories and I started losing weight again.

So I want to discuss all of this in this brief podcast.

Number one, metabolic adaptation, what is this? It's when your metabolism adapts.

So for example, if you, right now, you are eating 2,500 calories and that's how many calories you need to maintain

your weight. If let's say you start eating 2,000 calories, you are then going to be in a

calorie deficit and you are going to start losing weight because you're eating less calories than what your body burns.

I think we all know this.
