High Performance Health
Maximizing Fat Burn Through Daily Movement
This chapter explores practical strategies for burning fat via increased daily movement, highlighting the role of non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). Listeners are provided with actionable tips to integrate more physical activity into their routines, promoting a healthier lifestyle.
What if the secret to burning more fat wasn’t a fancy diet or punishing workout, but a few simple daily upgrades you could start today? In this solo Bite Size Biohacks episode, Angela answers your most asked question—how to get leaner and boost fat loss in time for summer. Whether you're looking to shift a little or a lot, she shares exactly how to turn your body into a fat-burning machine—without resorting to extreme measures.
From muscle-building strategies to protein timing and the underrated power of NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), Angela reveals the three core principles that will elevate your metabolism, reshape your physique, and keep your energy levels steady all day long. Expect practical, science-backed tips you can implement immediately—and the mindset shift that will make it sustainable.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
-
Master NEAT Movement: Non-exercise movement like walking and even fidgeting can boost daily fat burn by up to 20%.
-
Why Muscle is Metabolic Gold: Muscle burns 2–3x more calories than fat—even at rest—making strength training non-negotiable.
-
Protein is a Fat-Burning Accelerator: Protein has a thermic effect up to 30%, helping you burn more calories simply by eating it.
-
Don’t Diet—Build Muscle Instead: Sustainable fat loss comes from increasing lean muscle, not slashing calories or fasting windows.
-
Fuel Your Day with the Right First Meal: A high-protein breakfast stabilises blood sugar, cuts cravings, and boosts morning energy.
-
Strength After 40 is Non-Negotiable: As we age, we lose insulin sensitivity and muscle—especially around menopause—so strength training is crucial.
