Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube discussion highlighting that exercise aids energy balance by increasing calorie expenditure and improving metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity; speakers note exercise helps mobilize fat stores and can support longer fasts without compromising brain energy.
Well, I think exercise can really help. Yes. Obviously, it increases your calorie consumption and therefore helps with your energy balance. But in terms of improving your metabolic flexibility, improving your insulin sensitivity, your ability to access fat from.
Storage.
And therefore, being able to also reduce calorie intake and, for example, have longer fasts without starving your brain of energy moving at.
