Should you fidget more? NEAT ideas regarding weight loss
Do you have those friends who never gain a pound, despite the fact that they don't actually exercise and aren't careful about what they eat? Or are you one of those people? It certainly has a bit to do with genetics, but there could be another factor: NEAT.NEAT is "non-exercise activity thermogenesis," which, according to diet-blog.com, is "the energy expended in everything we do that doesn't involve eating, sleeping, and sport-related activity." We've actually mentioned this before, but you might not be aware of just how big a difference NEAT can make in your weight.
In a study, sedentary subjects (some obese, some thin) were fitted with "magical underwear" that recorded every move they made. Everyone was fed 1000 calories more than their weight required for maintenance, and those who activated their NEAT didn't gain fat, but those who didn't gained 10 times more fat. Learn about activating your NEAT by clicking through the gallery.
