Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize body's resistance to weight loss during calorie deficit
During a calorie deficit, your body involuntarily reduces non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), meaning you subconsciously fidget and move less to conserve energy.
Identify and reduce exposure to obesogens to combat obesity
Chemicals in our environment, such as BPA in plastics, can act as 'obesogens' that disrupt hormones like insulin and promote weight gain.
Avoid late dinners to enhance overnight fat burning
Eating a late dinner around 10 pm, compared to 6 pm, results in higher blood sugar and fat levels, and significantly less fat burning overnight.
Avoid ultra-processed foods to preserve natural food matrix
Ultra-processing is not just about added ingredients; it's about the disruption of the food's natural 3D structure, or 'food matrix,' which can lead to overconsumption.
Eat dinner foods for breakfast to boost protein intake
To easily increase your morning protein intake and improve appetite regulation for the rest of the day, try eating foods you would typically have for dinner as your first meal.
Avoid yo-yo dieting to prevent weight gain
Chronic dieting lowers your basal metabolic rate, so when you return to your previous eating habits, you are now in a calorie surplus, causing you to gain more weight over time.
Increase daily protein intake to 1.2g/kg for optimal health
Recent research suggests the ideal daily protein intake is at least 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight, which is 50% more than the standard recommendation.
Adopt healthy habits to achieve calorie deficit naturally
Instead of focusing on calorie counting, adopt healthy habits like eating whole foods and more protein, which naturally lead to a calorie deficit as a side effect.
