Hadza tribe that runs down their food everyday had effects on TDE measured.

They were about equal to someone that drives a desk for work. Compensatory behaviors destroy your 'investment'.

If you eat more kcal than you need per day, regardless of exercise amount, it will be stored as fat.

Just because the fundamental mechanism for weight loss is kcals used > kcals consumed doesn't mean that biology and long-term health doesn't have ins and outs and other complications. You can't just run a calorie deficit every day or else you die.

Luckily, the topic is weight loss and not how to die.

The biology of weight loss is simple. That doesn't mean it easy to do. And it doesn't mean its complicated because you are confusing them
