G flux

What's your opinions on g flux ?


Take an individual eating 2500 calories a day and burning 2500 calories a day. That person wouldn’t likely lose or gain any weight. They’re in energy balance and that means they’d be weight stable.

If we use the principles of G-Flux to boost this person’s food intake to 3000 calories a day and boost their calorie burning to 3000 calories a day, most would assume that the person wouldn’t change. They’d assume that the increased intake and expenditure would cancel each other out, right?

But researchers have shown that in such a situation there are increases in metabolic rate, losses of fat, and increases in lean mass ( taken from http://www.precisionnutrition.com/all-about-g-flux)

Interesting.

I always read that cardio did not effect you body composition at all, it just increased calorie expenditure. I guess this goes against that thought?

This goes against everything I have read before lol. "Cardio is just a tool to increase energy expenditure".
