Exercise as a metabolic catalyst

Calorie counting is a traditional weight management method, centered on maintaining an energy balance, but it can oversimplify weight loss. The concept may disregard other factors like dietary quality, metabolic differences, and nutrient absorption. Alternative approaches like The Diet suggest focusing on metabolism, nutrient quality, exercise as a metabolic catalyst, and lifestyle influencers. This allows a more nuanced understanding of weight management beyond just numerical calorie control.
