Adaptive thermogenesis

Adaptive thermogenesis is the body's way of adjusting how many calories it burns in response to changes like weight loss, overeating, or environmental factors. When you lose weight or eat less, your body may slow down its metabolism to conserve energy, making it harder to keep the weight off. Conversely, in cold environments, your body increases heat production to stay warm, burning more calories. This process helps regulate energy balance and maintain body temperature, but it can sometimes make weight management more challenging due to these natural adjustments.
