What this chapter covers
If you want to change how your body looks and performs, you must master the fundamental law of thermodynamics as it applies to human physiology. Supplements, meal timing, and intermittent fasting mean absolutely nothing if your energy balance is fundamentally broken.
The human body is an incredibly adaptive engine. It is constantly burning fuel to keep you alive, move you around, and digest your food. Understanding exactly how this engine burns fuel is the master key to fat loss.
This book is educational and is not medical advice. It cannot account for your medical history, medication or injuries. Speak to a qualified clinician before changing how you eat or train, particularly if you are pregnant, managing a health condition, or returning from injury.
