1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to bounce forward with me, Tiff Paul, 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custonians of the land 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: on which I'm recording this podcast, the wire under people 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: of the cooler Nation. I pay my respects to elders, 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: pass and present. Samantha contacted me with such a great question. 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: She said, Hi, Tif, this is always in my head 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: whenever I get macas or eat a tim tam, I 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: think better work it off later. But do you actually 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: need to exercise to burn off fast food treats or desserts? Now, 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: this is an excellent question. You don't need to exercise 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: to burn off the calories you eat. And it's such 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: a freeing thing to know, and it came from me. 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: You can trust me. You don't need to do that. 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: Those who claim that you need to burn off certain 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: items of food or certain items of food equate to 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: this amount of calories. And like if you eat a 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: timtam you have to run for forty minutes, they are 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: not they are not promoting healthy eating. Okay, it's a 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: disordered eating and they're forgetting basic physiology. So one, you 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: need calories to stay alive, and two you constantly burn 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: calories without exercising, which is great. So most of the 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: calories you burn each day occur without exercise, and seventy percent, 23 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: it's seventy percent of them are just burnt at rest, 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: that's your basal metabolic rate. Fifteen percent of them are 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: burnt off from just fidgeting, light movements, breathing, blinking, all 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: those things, ten percent from digestion, and a pathetic five 27 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: percent via structured planned exercise. So depressing just five percent 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: from your session this morning in the gym or the 29 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: run or whatever you did this morning. Right, But the 30 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: good news is right now listening to this, if you're 31 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: sitting down, you're burning. You know, you're working towards that 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: seventy percent the basal metabolic rate. It's really great. And 33 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: the psychological relationship between eating and exercising should never be codependent, 34 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: all right, It's very dangerous. It can destroy a healthy 35 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: relationship with food and exercise. You should never have this 36 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: idea of earning your calories from exercise or punishing yourself 37 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: after eating. It's just illogical and it's very very dangerous. 38 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: We need calories to stay alive, and if there's no exercise, 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: we still need that energy. So exercise should be a 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: means of joy, satisfaction, accomplishment, recompositioning the body, but never 41 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: punishment or your sole tool for weight loss, because you know, 42 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: weight loss is really I reckon ninety percent what you eat, okay, 43 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and eating should be all about nourishing and fulfilling the 44 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: soul and never about guilt and deprivation. So let's go 45 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: into the energy you're a little bit more depth. So 46 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: the human body burns calories throughout the day in various 47 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: processes and activities. Okay, we all know that. And the 48 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: calorie expenditure can be categorized into several key parts, and 49 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: each of these parts contribute to the TDE your total 50 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: daily energy expenditure your TVEE. Okay, so let's break down 51 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: how that is. We actually get to the TCEE. So 52 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: number one, we start with the BMR your basal metabolic rate, 53 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: which is the amount of energy your body needs to 54 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: function at rest to mattain vital body functions. You're breathing, 55 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: your circulation, your cell production, digestion, temperature regulation, all of 56 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: those things, and it accounts for the largest portion of 57 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: your daily calorie expenditure. So sixty to seventy five percent 58 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: totally calories burned in a day. It's crazy. And you 59 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: know things in bluencing your BMR are your age, your sex, 60 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: your muscle mass, hormone balance. So you know, more lean 61 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: muscle mass you have, the higher BMR you have, the 62 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: more metabolically active you are, and the better it is. 63 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm always banging on about the strength 64 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: training because we want that lean muscle mass to increase 65 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: the BMR so that throughout the day we're burning not 66 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: just sixty percent of calories, but we might be burning 67 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: seventy five percent, which is really really good. Then you've 68 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: got the TF the thermic effect of food. That refers 69 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: to the energy it takes to digest food, absorb food, 70 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: metabolize food, and it's about ten percent of your total 71 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: energy expenditure. Protein has a high thermic effect compared to 72 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: fats and carbohydrates, meaning protein takes more calories to break 73 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: it down and digest it than other macronutrients, which is great. 74 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: So if you eat lots of protein, it keeps you full, 75 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: it suppresses appetite. It has a high thermic effect, which 76 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: means it's burning itself off as you're eating it, and 77 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: you're building that muscle tissue as well, which is going 78 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: to increase your BMR. So protein is just the bee's 79 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: knees and the ants pants. I love it. Then you've 80 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: got physical activity, so exercise activity thermogenesis EAT. This includes 81 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: calories burned through your workout, you sport, your exercise, and 82 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: then you've got your neat. Okay, your non exercise activity thermogenesis, 83 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: which includes energy where you're just sleeping, eating, typing, you're gardening, 84 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, you're fidgeting, you're doing a podcast. All right, 85 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: So they've got your eating, your neat, and that's about 86 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: fifteen to thirty percent of your total daily energy expenditure. 87 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: Then you've got impacts of lifestyle. Some people have more 88 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: physically demanding jobs. Like I'm looking out the window there 89 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: are people across the road building a house. I'm thinking, well, 90 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: that's a hard day's work. They're putting up the frame, 91 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: they're carrying wood, like it's incredible opposed to me sitting 92 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: here doing this podcast right now. So you know, there's 93 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: different elements that go into the eat and the neat. 94 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: But after intense exercise is also the energy cost of recovery. 95 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: So the body continues to burn more calories than normal 96 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: at its resting state after you've done the exercise, so 97 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: you've got the post exercise oxygen consumption, the epoch effect. 98 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: This is the after burn effect where you are burning 99 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: calories at rest after you've done the exercise and you're 100 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: just doing nothing. And this is the best payoff I 101 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: think for doing exercise, and the epoch payoff to the 102 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: total daily energy expenditure is relatively small, but it enhances 103 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: your overall metabolic rate following high intensity or prolonged physical activities, 104 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 1: So you are increasing your BMR, which is really really 105 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: really important. So the duration and the intensity of exercise 106 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: can influence that post exercise oxygen consumption, the epoch the 107 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: after burn effect, So the more vigorous and the longer 108 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: duration you go, the more epoch you'll get. So it's 109 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: a really really good thing. So there's a lot of 110 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: information there, right, How do you break it down? How 111 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: do you make sense of it? Well, basically, engaging in 112 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: strength training to increase your BMR is really important. So 113 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: increasing your muscle mass that's going to increase the amount 114 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: of calories that you burn every day. Incorporating protein can 115 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: increase the thermic effect of food. So they've got the 116 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: TEF covered there. Then you maximize your neat just your 117 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: accidental activity throughout the day, whether you're increasing the amount 118 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: of steps you do on a fitbit or your Apple Watch, whatever, 119 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: that can really increase your overall daily energy expenditure. And 120 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: then if you're really leveraging that after burn effect by 121 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: doing more high intensity workout, you can increase your BMR 122 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: and get more out of your exercise session all over. So, 123 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: really by balancing your energy intake, calories in, calories out, 124 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: and understanding that there are all these processes in play 125 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: that are burning calories right the day, and that your 126 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: exercise is only five to ten percent of all of 127 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: those processes, you don't need to earn the tymtam. You 128 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: don't need to earn a treat. You don't need to 129 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: work off the fast food. I'm all about in moderation though. 130 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: If you're having fast food every meal, if you're having 131 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: a packet of Timtams every day, obviously it's going to 132 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: catch up with you. You can't outtrain a bad diet. 133 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: But if they're treats, if they're now every sometimes foods, 134 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: if they're you know, desserts, you know it's going to 135 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: not make a difference, and we have to really understand 136 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: how calories are burnt. And in a side note, I 137 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: think this stuff should be taught at school. I get 138 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: really angry that we know there are sixty minutes in 139 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: an hour, but we don't know that there's four calories 140 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: in a grammar protein, or four calories in a grammar 141 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: cover hydrate and nine calories in a grammar fat. Then 142 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: you know that thirty grams of protein is going to 143 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: be one hundred and twenty calories, and you can sort 144 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: of work off that. It's just such basic information. I 145 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: just think it should be taught in school. It's just 146 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: some basic nutritional information so that you can go about 147 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: your day understanding that the body is working, you know, 148 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: all the time, that you don't have to burn off food. 149 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: I just think they would create more healthy relationships with food, 150 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: more healthy relationships with exercise if we knew some of 151 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: these real basics, like sixty minutes in an hour, four 152 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: calories in the grammar protein. It it would just make 153 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: life so much easier. Thanks so much for listening to 154 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: Bounce Forward.
