Move More, Eat Less? The Lie That Won’t Die: The Fatal Flaws of Calories In Calories Out
Description
You’ve heard it a million times: “Just eat less and move more.” But if it were really that simple, we wouldn’t have rising obesity rates, metabolic dysfunction, and an endless cycle of yo-yo dieting. In this episode, we break down why the calories in, calories out (CICO) model is outdated and how metabolism is way more complex than a basic math equation.
In this episode, we cover:
🔥 Why CICO sounds logical—but doesn’t actually hold up
💰 Who benefits from keeping this myth alive in mainstream science & medicine
🌾 The Farmer Model of metabolism (and why obesity is about way more than calorie math)
🤯 Adam’s 10 Smackdowns That Lay Waste to CICO—and the arguments that make gym bros short-circuit
If you’ve ever struggled with weight loss despite “doing everything right,” this episode is for you.
