Burn Fat Without Exercising?!
You read that right.
What if I told you losing weight could be attained by not even exercising? Sounds too good to be true, right?
When people think of fat loss, they picture long hours of cardio or high-intensity weight sessions. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Introducing NEAT! (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis) NEAT is the amount of energy you burn from doing daily activities.
Those activities can be things such as:
- Walking while on a phone call
- Fidgeting
- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
- Cooking, cleaning, or doing chores
Studies to prove it:
- A study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that people with high NEAT levels can burn up to 2,000 more calories per day than those with sedentary lifestyles.
- Another study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that individuals who fidget frequently burn up to 350 extra calories per day compared to those who remain still.
- Office workers who stand for part of the day instead of sitting can burn an additional 500+ calories per week—without changing diet or exercise routines
Small decisions that you make throughout the day can make a huge difference!
Bottom line: You don’t need to spend hours in the gym to burn fat. By simply moving more throughout the day, you can significantly increase calorie expenditure and accelerate weight loss—without formal exercise.
