WEBVTT - You Don't Need to Exercise to Burn Off Fast Food

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Hi, and welcome back to bounce forward with me, Tiff Paul,

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custonians of the land

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>on which I'm recording this podcast, the wire under people

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>of the cooler Nation. I pay my respects to elders,

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>pass and present. Samantha contacted me with such a great question.

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>She said, Hi, Tif, this is always in my head

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.639
<v Speaker 1>whenever I get macas or eat a tim tam, I

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>think better work it off later. But do you actually

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>need to exercise to burn off fast food treats or desserts? Now,

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>this is an excellent question. You don't need to exercise

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to burn off the calories you eat. And it's such

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>a freeing thing to know, and it came from me.

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>You can trust me. You don't need to do that.

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Those who claim that you need to burn off certain

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>items of food or certain items of food equate to

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>this amount of calories. And like if you eat a

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>timtam you have to run for forty minutes, they are

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>not they are not promoting healthy eating. Okay, it's a

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>disordered eating and they're forgetting basic physiology. So one, you

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>need calories to stay alive, and two you constantly burn

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>calories without exercising, which is great. So most of the

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>calories you burn each day occur without exercise, and seventy percent,

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it's seventy percent of them are just burnt at rest,

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that's your basal metabolic rate. Fifteen percent of them are

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>burnt off from just fidgeting, light movements, breathing, blinking, all

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>those things, ten percent from digestion, and a pathetic five

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>percent via structured planned exercise. So depressing just five percent

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>from your session this morning in the gym or the

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>run or whatever you did this morning. Right, But the

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>good news is right now listening to this, if you're

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>sitting down, you're burning. You know, you're working towards that

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>seventy percent the basal metabolic rate. It's really great. And

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the psychological relationship between eating and exercising should never be codependent,

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, It's very dangerous. It can destroy a healthy

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship with food and exercise. You should never have this

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 1>idea of earning your calories from exercise or punishing yourself

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>after eating. It's just illogical and it's very very dangerous.

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We need calories to stay alive, and if there's no exercise,

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>we still need that energy. So exercise should be a

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>means of joy, satisfaction, accomplishment, recompositioning the body, but never

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>punishment or your sole tool for weight loss, because you know,

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>weight loss is really I reckon ninety percent what you eat, okay,

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and eating should be all about nourishing and fulfilling the

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>soul and never about guilt and deprivation. So let's go

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>into the energy you're a little bit more depth. So

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the human body burns calories throughout the day in various

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>processes and activities. Okay, we all know that. And the

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>calorie expenditure can be categorized into several key parts, and

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>each of these parts contribute to the TDE your total

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>daily energy expenditure your TVEE. Okay, so let's break down

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>how that is. We actually get to the TCEE. So

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>number one, we start with the BMR your basal metabolic rate,

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>which is the amount of energy your body needs to

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>function at rest to mattain vital body functions. You're breathing,

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>your circulation, your cell production, digestion, temperature regulation, all of

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>those things, and it accounts for the largest portion of

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>your daily calorie expenditure. So sixty to seventy five percent

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>totally calories burned in a day. It's crazy. And you

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>know things in bluencing your BMR are your age, your sex,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>your muscle mass, hormone balance. So you know, more lean

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>muscle mass you have, the higher BMR you have, the

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>more metabolically active you are, and the better it is.

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I'm always banging on about the strength

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 1>training because we want that lean muscle mass to increase

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the BMR so that throughout the day we're burning not

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>just sixty percent of calories, but we might be burning

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>seventy five percent, which is really really good. Then you've

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>got the TF the thermic effect of food. That refers

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to the energy it takes to digest food, absorb food,

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>metabolize food, and it's about ten percent of your total

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>energy expenditure. Protein has a high thermic effect compared to

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>fats and carbohydrates, meaning protein takes more calories to break

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it down and digest it than other macronutrients, which is great.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.799
<v Speaker 1>So if you eat lots of protein, it keeps you full,

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it suppresses appetite. It has a high thermic effect, which

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>means it's burning itself off as you're eating it, and

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you're building that muscle tissue as well, which is going

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to increase your BMR. So protein is just the bee's

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>knees and the ants pants. I love it. Then you've

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>got physical activity, so exercise activity thermogenesis EAT. This includes

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>calories burned through your workout, you sport, your exercise, and

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>then you've got your neat. Okay, your non exercise activity thermogenesis,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>which includes energy where you're just sleeping, eating, typing, you're gardening,

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, you're fidgeting, you're doing a podcast. All right,

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>So they've got your eating, your neat, and that's about

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen to thirty percent of your total daily energy expenditure.

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Then you've got impacts of lifestyle. Some people have more

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>physically demanding jobs. Like I'm looking out the window there

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>are people across the road building a house. I'm thinking, well,

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>that's a hard day's work. They're putting up the frame,

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>they're carrying wood, like it's incredible opposed to me sitting

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>here doing this podcast right now. So you know, there's

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>different elements that go into the eat and the neat.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>But after intense exercise is also the energy cost of recovery.

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>So the body continues to burn more calories than normal

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 1>at its resting state after you've done the exercise, so

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you've got the post exercise oxygen consumption, the epoch effect.

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>This is the after burn effect where you are burning

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>calories at rest after you've done the exercise and you're

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>just doing nothing. And this is the best payoff I

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>think for doing exercise, and the epoch payoff to the

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 1>total daily energy expenditure is relatively small, but it enhances

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>your overall metabolic rate following high intensity or prolonged physical activities,

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.799
<v Speaker 1>So you are increasing your BMR, which is really really

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.919
<v Speaker 1>really important. So the duration and the intensity of exercise

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 1>can influence that post exercise oxygen consumption, the epoch the

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>after burn effect, So the more vigorous and the longer

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>duration you go, the more epoch you'll get. So it's

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a really really good thing. So there's a lot of

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>information there, right, How do you break it down? How

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>do you make sense of it? Well, basically, engaging in

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>strength training to increase your BMR is really important. So

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>increasing your muscle mass that's going to increase the amount

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of calories that you burn every day. Incorporating protein can

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>increase the thermic effect of food. So they've got the

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>TEF covered there. Then you maximize your neat just your

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>accidental activity throughout the day, whether you're increasing the amount

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of steps you do on a fitbit or your Apple Watch, whatever,

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that can really increase your overall daily energy expenditure. And

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>then if you're really leveraging that after burn effect by

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>doing more high intensity workout, you can increase your BMR

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and get more out of your exercise session all over. So,

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>really by balancing your energy intake, calories in, calories out,

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and understanding that there are all these processes in play

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that are burning calories right the day, and that your

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>exercise is only five to ten percent of all of

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>those processes, you don't need to earn the tymtam. You

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>don't need to earn a treat. You don't need to

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>work off the fast food. I'm all about in moderation though.

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>If you're having fast food every meal, if you're having

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a packet of Timtams every day, obviously it's going to

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>catch up with you. You can't outtrain a bad diet.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But if they're treats, if they're now every sometimes foods,

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>if they're you know, desserts, you know it's going to

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>not make a difference, and we have to really understand

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>how calories are burnt. And in a side note, I

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 1>think this stuff should be taught at school. I get

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>really angry that we know there are sixty minutes in

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.559
<v Speaker 1>an hour, but we don't know that there's four calories

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 1>in a grammar protein, or four calories in a grammar

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>cover hydrate and nine calories in a grammar fat. Then

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you know that thirty grams of protein is going to

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>be one hundred and twenty calories, and you can sort

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>of work off that. It's just such basic information. I

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>just think it should be taught in school. It's just

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>some basic nutritional information so that you can go about

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>your day understanding that the body is working, you know,

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 1>all the time, that you don't have to burn off food.

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I just think they would create more healthy relationships with food,

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>more healthy relationships with exercise if we knew some of

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>these real basics, like sixty minutes in an hour, four

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>calories in the grammar protein. It it would just make

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>life so much easier. Thanks so much for listening to
