Fat Loss is NEAT - 4 Ways to Accelerate Your Fat Loss
Most often the simple things are the MOST important
Whenever we want to lose weight, or more specifically lose fat, we tend to jump to the complicated things: the strict diet that removes and entire food group or the crazy exercise plan that requires 2 workouts a day. We usually overlook the simple things that when done consistently can add up to HUGE results.
NEAT is one of those simple yet often overlooked things that can be make or break for your fat loss, but you're probably not paying any attention to. NEAT stands for Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. That basically means all the energy, aka calories, your body needs to move throughout the day that are NOT basic functions to keep you alive or exercise. It's walking, doing the dishes, standing, fidgeting, gardening, putting away laundry etc.
NEAT has a profound and impactful effect on our ability to not gain fat, and to lose fat. There is a HUGE variation between people, but we have a lot of control over our NEAT based on how much we move in the day. Many of us are much more sedentary than we realize - we sit in the car, at our desk, while we eat, on the couch, with the kids, etc. This lack of movement is reducing our NEAT - it's reducing the energy/calories we burn throughout the day which for most of us translates to weight gain.
Improving your NEAT could be a crucial factor in finally reaching and maintaining your weight loss and health goals. In this episode I'm going to break down what NEAT is, give you some SUPER eye opening studies about NEAT and how it's working for or against you, and finally 4 ways to improve your NEAT and accelerate your fat loss.
One of the BEST ways to improve NEAT is walking! To encourage your walking and get some accountability, join our 30 Day Movement Challenge starting April 18th! It's totally free, plus there will be prizes! Grab your friends and register HERE!

Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food
If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting change. Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.
If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.
That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
