5 Proven Ways to Boost Your Metabolism

Mar 14, 2022

During today’s solo episode, you’re going to learn how to boost your metabolism and lose more fat without exercising more

Here’s the breakdown:

  • What “TDEE” means (01:37)
  • Your basal metabolic rate* (02:58)
  • Weight loss versus fat loss (04:53)
  • NEAT and NEPA (11:55)
  • The best “fat loss workouts” (17:00)
  • The thermic effect (23:48)
  • Lean versus non-lean protein sources (25:43)
  • Your action steps (27:34)

*Recent research has shown that carrying more muscle doesn't make AS big of a difference (per pound) as originally thought, and discussed in this episode. Although the quest to build more muscle is still very much in line with "boosting" your metabolism.

To recap the breakdown of your TDEE:

  1. Your basal metabolic rate (60-75%)
  2. Non-exercise activity (10-15+%)
  3. Your workouts (5-15%)
  4. The thermic effect of food (~10%)

To recap your action steps:

  1. Take your sleep hygiene very seriously: https://samforget.com/sleep/
  2. Make every effort to manage your stress
  3. Prioritize protein in every meal: https://samforget.com/protein-power-up/
  4. Focus on getting stronger over time: https://www.youtube.com/c/SamForget/playlists
  5. Get 6,000-8,000+ steps per day
