Our bodies are beautiful machines just trying to survive no matter what we throw at them.
So when we are trying to lose weight, you are eating less than what you are burning thus causing weight loss.
The more weight we lose, the more our bodies tend to recognize
-
“hey, what the heck is going on here!? I don’t like all this weight we are losing. There must be some kind of shortage of food. Let’s be more efficient with the calories we have so we don’t run the risk of running out!”

🦷Enter the Toothpaste Analogy
When we first open the tube, we are reckless with it.
Like a savage, adding globs on our toothbrush
And most times wasting a lot down the sink
But as we get closer to the end of the tube, we find ourselves only using the amount we really need.
We become super efficient with the toothpaste we have.
And a week or two go by and you are still squeaking more and more out of that tube of toothpaste!
That’s what our bodies are doing as we lose more and more weight.
It is becoming much more efficient with the calories it is given because it recognizes that they are not coming in as much as they used to.
Whether you like it or not, your body is going to lower your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
-
✳️ Your TDEE is made up of:
1️⃣ Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) = Calories Burned just to exist
2️⃣ Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) = Lifestyle Calories aka walking, fidgeting, etc.
3️⃣Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) = Calories you burn from the digesting/processing of food you eat.
4️⃣Exercise Activity (EA) = Calories burned through exercise/training
Moral of the story is, you are a tube of toothpaste 🤷🏻♂️
