    I don’t think weight loss is just a caloric deficit. Simple because bodies can adjust their metabolism and it’s not 100% in peoples control.

    I could say discipline isn’t in these wealthy peoples minds.

      That just means the person needs less calories to maintain weight. In order to lose weight, they still need to consume less calories than they burn.

        That’s a component but metabolism can be dependent on caloric intake. Less you eat the less you’ll burn.

        You’ll get the point if you fast for more than 36 hours. You’ll eventually be too lethargic to move. Also working out while undergoing ketosis isn’t quite recommended because you can burn muscle.
