Your body doesn’t understand that there is a certain size and shape that brings with it an increased social capital. Your body can’t imagine a situation in which it is hungry and there is food, but you won’t feed it. And so when your body is hungry but you ignore it, it assumes that there is no food available. Your body is like “No problem, I’ve evolved to survive famine let me just get those systems online. I’ll just get started lowering our metabolism.” (In my mind your body talks like JARVIS from the Ironman movies, but that’s neither here nor there I suppose.) In the meantime, you go run on a treadmill. Your body now thinks that there is a famine and you have to run from bears.
