In fact, the hunger pattern is the most discussed in all dieting studies. But researchers don't call it a hunger model, they call it adaptive thermogenesis, and I call it metabolic compensation principle. I call it a principle because it is a reliable and predictable phenomenon, which will happen in any dieting situation.
Metabolism is actually a natural protection mechanism formed after millions of years of evolution, because in ancient times or more, your predecessors could not guarantee whether they could eat the next meal. Whether you are a normal bodybuilder or a professional athlete, men and women, old and young, will be affected by metabolic compensation.
2. Is it metabolic damage?
Most blind fat loss begins with dieting-eat less and exercise more. You looked good at first, but you lost a few pounds in a few days, and everything was fine.
As time goes by (1-2 weeks), you will feel hungrier, more afraid of cold and less energetic than before, and you will find yourself craving for fat (fried food), sweets and salty food, which is why your body begins to enter metabolic compensation.
Because of this metabolic compensation mechanism, your body began to choose to protect itself, began to save calories, metabolism dropped significantly, and you even noticed that your weight began to increase. Then hunger and the urge to eat "junk food" (fried food, sweets, cream) are as irresistible as drug abuse.
Fat loss depends on "stealing", body shape depends on "cheating" and "nature" depends on science.
