Q&A
How do different types of training impact fat loss and metabolism?
Different types of training impact fat loss and metabolism. Fasted exercise can increase fat oxidation. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves bursts of activity greater than 100% of V2 Max. Sprint interval training (SIT) involves bursts of activity lasting 8 to 30 seconds interspersed with less intense recovery periods. Moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) is steady state cardio performed continuously for 20 to 60 Minutes at moderate intensity. Timing and intensity of exercise play a role in fat loss.
What are some recommendations for the best time to eat and exercise?
The best time to eat is when you can extend your sleep-related fast into the morning, taking advantage of the deep fast during sleep. Exercising in the morning helps tap into the body's fuel reserves, including body fat stores.
How can small movements and timed restricted feeding impact fat loss and energy levels?
Fidgeting movements and staccato movement can mobilize and oxidize fat and energy. Shivering is a strong stimulus for fat loss and can be leveraged to increase fat loss. Cold exposure protocol to induce shivering for fat loss. Timed restricted feeding has positive impact on weight loss and health parameters.
What are some key ideas related to gut health, thyroid health, and metabolism?
Key ideas include: Glutamine helps with leaky gut and can be found in foods like cottage cheese. Iodine and selenium are important for thyroid health and metabolism. Consuming fermented foods can support the gut microbiome. Avoid excessive intake of iodine and selenium.
What can help with reducing sugar cravings and improving overall health?
Getting quality and sufficient sleep, managing light exposure, and consuming essential fatty acids are crucial for overall health, metabolism, and reducing sugar cravings. Essential fatty acids are vital for metabolism and overall health. Consuming above 1,000 mg of EPA per day supports metabolism and fat loss. Reducing sugar cravings by satisfying the body's need for amino acids and essential fatty acids.
How should I track my weight for progress?
Weigh yourself consistently in the morning, take the average weight for the week, and compare it to the next week to track progress. Weight fluctuations can be misleading, and calorie balance is crucial for weight loss.
