Boosting metabolism and losing weight requires strategic habits grounded in science and evolutionary biology.
Simply eating less and exercising more does not work for long-term weight loss.
Trying quick fixes like diet teas and fat burning pills is ineffective and can be harmful.
🔑 Taking care of long-term health is more important than quick weight loss.
⏳ Approaching weight loss as an infinite game and lifestyle choice leads to better results.
📚 Understanding nutrition and metabolism through research and education is essential for optimal health.
🔑 Our bodies have a mechanism to store fat when underfed for a long time, which slows down metabolism and hinders weight loss.
⏳ The body adapts to a lower calorie intake by decreasing metabolism, leading to plateaus in weight loss.
👩🔬 Quick fixes like fat burning pills and diet teas are ineffective in increasing metabolism, while reverse dieting can help reset metabolism.
🔑 Strategic refeeding can help break plateaus in weight loss and boost metabolism.
💪 Strength training is important for increasing muscle mass and metabolism.
📈 Personalized coaching can provide valuable insights and optimize progress.
💤 Improving sleep can have a significant impact on metabolism and weight loss.
🏋️♀️ Gaining muscle as a woman is a slow process, and it doesn't significantly increase metabolism.
🍎 Better sleep leads to improved metabolism, not muscle gain, and can result in faster fat loss.
💤 Lack of sleep can lead to a reduction in fat loss and a decrease in insulin sensitivity.
🚶♀️ Increasing non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) can boost metabolism and aid in fat loss.
🥗 NEAT is three times more effective than formal exercise in calorie burning.
🏃♀️ In order to boost her metabolism and lose weight, Lucy cut back on high-intensity workouts and incorporated 5-15 minutes of walking several times a day, totaling 6-10,000 steps. She also added a 30-minute after-dinner walk to increase her steps.
⏰ Slowing down and taking time for self-care, including getting enough sleep, played a crucial role in Lucy's weight loss journey. By refeeding herself properly and focusing on rest, she continued to lose fat and gained more free time and energy.
🌟 While these were the most immediate impact factors on Lucy's metabolism, there are other ways to boost metabolism depending on individual circumstances. Lucy offers assistance through her program or provides a comprehensive list of actions to uplevel progress.
