#162 - Myths of metabolic adaptation with Brandon DaCruz
Description
We had Brandon on the podcast discussing the benefits of NEAT previously, so if you haven’t listened to that one, go back and give it a listen! Daily movement is such a good tool for fat loss and overall better health.
So many women come to us after doing crazy restrictive diets, binging on food, and drinking alcohol. They often complain of poor sleep, menopause issues, and low metabolic function. I hear many women saying that they can’t lose weight because of their metabolism, but it’s amazing when we work with them how quickly things start improving.
Brandon, Craig, and I chat about:
➡️How your entire lifestyle facilitates your health
➡️What metabolism actually is
➡️Energy expenditure across the lifespan
➡️Why scale weight doesn’t necessarily measure fat loss
➡️Metabolic adaption and how it works
➡️What goes into total energy expenditure
➡️The importance of protein and weight training
➡️Creating healthy habits that work within your lifestyle
➡️Critical thinking when it comes to your health
➡️Getting to your fat loss goal vs sustaining it
➡️Why fitness shouldn’t be a comparative journey
➡️The importance of accountability and support
