Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment #124 - NEAT: one of the most underrated tools when it comes to fat loss and better health with Brandon Da Cruz
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
