Mindsip insights from this episode:
Avoid dieting to prevent metabolic slowdown
Those who dieted without a weighted vest experienced an over 200-calorie reduction in their resting metabolism.
Understand hunger signals after fat loss due to leptin changes
When you lose body fat, your fat cells secrete less of the hormone leptin, which signals to your brain to increase feelings of hunger.
Understand how bones influence appetite and metabolism
The 'gravitostat' hypothesis suggests your bone cells sense your body's weight and release molecules that influence your appetite and metabolism.
Wear weighted vests to sustain weight loss success
People who wore a weighted vest for only six months were able to maintain some of their weight loss two years later, unlike the group that didn't.
Wear weighted vests to maintain resting metabolism during dieting
Wearing a weighted vest during a diet can prevent the typical drop in resting metabolism, even after you stop wearing it.
Explore metabolic benefits of weighted vests beyond muscle maintenance
The metabolic benefits of a weighted vest are likely not just from maintaining muscle, but from a deeper mechanism like the gravitostat.
