Brandon has been a coach and competitor for almost a decade. (And ladies, he’s single! 🤣🤣) I wanted to bring Brandon on the podcast to talk about the concept of NEAT and why daily movement/walking is so important for fat loss and health.

In this episode, we chat about:

➡️Energy expenditure and exercise and why it's important when it comes to sustainable body recomposition

➡️What is NEAT

➡️Health benefits of walking and how many steps should we be aiming for per day

➡️Why “weekday dieting” doesn’t work

➡️Why restrictive diets often fail

➡️Why it’s not just calories in versus calories out

➡️How and why food quality matters

➡️What are the best ways to track movement

➡️Understanding the time it takes to achieve results
