In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy review research on calorie and exercise tracking. The data shows that we significantly underreport our calories and that even long-term "diet resistant" subjects have perfectly functioning metabolisms, but aren't creating the calorie deficit they think they are when dieting. The implications of these findings and how they relate to weight loss, diet outcomes, and finding simplicity and control through fasting are all discussed.
