What is Your Metabolism?

Metabolisms are confusing.

Everyone knows they have one but nobody truly understands how they work.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to unlock the keys to how your body burns calories?

Wouldn’t it be empowering to know exactly much to eat to build a strong, lean, and athletic body you are proud of?

I get this process can be daunting.

I am not a scientist, have never worn a lab coat, and have an undiagnosed allergy to academia that has haunted me my entire life.

Lucky for you, this means I get to talk to you like a real human, without all the jargon that confuses the hell out of people.

So what is your metabolism?

It is the total amount of energy expended by your body in a given day.

This number is represented by an acronym, TDEE, which stands for “Total Daily Energy Expenditure.”

There are four major ways your body expends energy.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): All the chemical and hormonal reactions that keep you alive.

This is the amount of energy you need for brain and organ function, repair, and rebuilding of cells with absolutely ZERO movement in your day.

Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): The amount of energy needed to walk, talk, raise your hands, type emails, and move throughout your day.

NEAT is the sum total of all non-exercise movement in your day. Physical Activity: This is the one everyone understands.

This is the dedicated time you spend in the gym, lifting, conditioning, and training.

Thermal Effect of Food (TEF): Every bit of food that enters your mouth undergoes a digestion process turning protein into amino acids, carbohydrates into glucose, and fat into fatty acids that can be used by your body.

What’s great about understanding these four components of your Total Daily Energy Expenditure is that all four are not created equal.

BMR = Roughly 60% of your TDEE

NEAT = Roughly 15% of your TDEE

Exercise = Roughly 15% of your TDEE

TEF = Roughly 10% of your TDEE

These numbers are the key to success.

With so many people focusing on more exercise, they miss the largest goal of increasing their baseline metabolism.

This is the key component to the Diesel Dad Diet Over 13 weeks you will lose 13 pounds by systematically increasing your baseline metabolism.

You will:

Reduce the total time spent in the gym.

Build more muscle.

Burn more fat.

Eliminate the crippling confusion about your metabolism.

Stop all the negativity of feeling slow, soft, and sluggish.

Build a strong, lean, and athletic body you are proud of.
