    The EASIEST way to boost metabolism, no gym required [Metabolism Series 5 of 5]

    Think burning more calories requires more time in the gym? Think again. Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) makes up 15-30% of your metabolism and can be the difference between fat loss success or frustration. Here’s how to increase your calorie burn all day long—without formal exercise. This is part 5 of a 5-part series on Metabolism this week. We are offering a free Nutrition 101 guide that shows you exactly how to estimate your true, dynamic metabolism to determine what calories and macros you need. ⁠Download your free Nutrition 101 macros guide here.⁠ -- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ask a question for the podcast here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the Wits & Weights podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more evidence-based insights on fat loss, muscle building, and sustainable health, where Philip dives deeper into the science behind optimizing your body composition. -- References: Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)

    Stop exercising to burn calories! [Metabolism Series 4 of 5]

    We all know workouts burn calories—but how much do they actually contribute to metabolism?

    Eat THIS to burn more calories [Metabolism Series 3 of 5]

    You’ve heard that eating protein increases metabolism—but is that just another nutrition myth?

Let’s break down what TEF really does—and how to maximize it for fat loss and muscle building. This is part 3 of a 5-part series on Metabolism this week.
