[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 268939, member: 15235"] An energy deficit is not the same as a diet. If I correct a thyroid issue and my metabolic rate goes up, the energy balance shifted but I did not diet. If I shift my body toward a fat-burning bias, which is part of what TRE/fasting does, I will be more likely to burn fat than glycogen at the same caloric intake. If I shift the micro-biome toward less energy absorption, I did not diet. 10 years or so ago before I understood any of this, I tried a traditional diet and after about a week or so my libido and strength were in noticeable decline. As Dr. Fung says, "the holy grail of fat loss is maintaining or increasing metabolic rate", but pure calorie cutting usually does the opposite. Also, the re-composition affect of anabolics does not work exclusively through the energy pathways. They apparently affect stem cell transition among other things shifting the balance toward muscle and away from fat. [/QUOTE]
