Do you really burn more fat while you sleep? The internet says yes — but the science tells a more nuanced (and more empowering) story. In this episode, Dietitian Dude, David Orozco, breaks down the research on circadian metabolism, substrate oxidation, and the real relationship between sleep and fat loss. Drawing on seven peer-reviewed studies, David explains why sleep quality may matter more than any diet strategy for long-term fat loss — and offers three evidence-based 'One Small Bite' takeaways you can try this week. No hacks. No guilt. Just science and body trust.
