Mindsip insights from this episode:
Differentiate between refeeds and diet breaks for effective dieting
A 'refeed' is a 1-3 day break eating at maintenance calories, while a 'diet break' is a longer period of at least four days.
Incorporate diet breaks to maintain fat loss progress
Taking planned breaks from your diet results in the same amount of total fat loss as continuous dieting.
Recognize diet breaks do not reduce dropout rates
Contrary to what you might expect, research shows that the dropout rate is the same for both continuous dieting and dieting with breaks.
Recognize organ slowdown during dieting to maintain metabolism
A key reason your metabolism slows during dieting is that your organs become less metabolically active on a cellular level.
Implement diet breaks to protect your metabolism
Intermittent dieting with breaks leads to a less severe metabolic slowdown compared to continuous dieting, helping preserve your resting metabolic rate.
Interpret meta-analysis results with caution due to bias risk
The meta-analysis discussed found that most of the included studies were at a high risk of bias, so the results should be interpreted with caution.
