N.E.A.T. EFFECTS ON FAT BURNING

N.E.A.T. EFFECTS ON FAT BURNING

N.E.A.T. is an acronym for "Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis". That simply means the energy your body burns, not by exercise, but by your simple everyday movements....walking, standing up, eating, working in the yard, even figeting and talking.

N.E.A.T. is not all about your genetics or your metabolism. It's often simpler than that. 

Studies have shown that obese people "move" an average of 2.5 hours less per day than lean people! Which means obese people burn an average of 350 calories less per day than lean people.

Now you're probably thinking 350 calories per day is not a big deal. Let's do the math:

• One pound of body weight ( fat and muscle) is 3500 calories
• 3500 per pound divided by 350 equals one pound every 10 days
• One pound every 10 days is 36 pounds per year!

Still think it's no big deal?

Exercise works better but if you're determined to keep using all those same old lame excuses,
Your Excuse is Invalid (article) at least move more in your daily activities. 

1. Take the stairs instead of the elevator
2. Stand more instead of sitting
3. Stand up and walk around at least once an hour ( Your shoulders, back, hips and legs will thank you too)
4. Rake the leaves
5. Walk your dog more. He'll thank you too.
6. Play with your kids or grand kids more

Notice that the things I mentioned not only help you with your weight problem but also improve your quality of life in general. There are dozens more. Use your imagination!
