Metabolic adaptation is a rounding error. It’s not worth talking about in the context of losing weight if you are starting off as obese.

It’s effectively pseudoscience in the context of these discussions.

The simple fact you use less calories to move less mass is far more of a consequential variable many people forget to account for.

Go for a walk wearing a 100lb weighted vest and the try it without one and the impact will be exceedingly clear.
