Same goes for older people in general. Is it harder to lose weight because they simply move less? What’s happening that makes weight loss so much harder in 30s and above?
In: Biology
It’s not that simply. Insulin, hormones etc play major roles.
They literally made people eat the exact same meals, but some people starting with the salad while others start with the desert, rice, meat etc.
The insulin acts not only as a gatekeeper for putting excess energy into fat cells, but is also controlling that no fat gets spend. Which is why eating 300kcal of sugar on an empty stomach is significantly worse for fat loss/gain than eating an egg on an empty stomach due to the insulin spike being vastly different.
This is why keto, fasting etc are effective methods for wait loss just as calories counting is another method. The body is super complex. People argue a lot about what works the best – but for an obese person any kind of food intake regulation is going to do wonders.
