Would you believe me if I said the majority of our clients at Vital Spark consume 2000+ calories?

 Many even higher!

In order to understand this, you need to understand BMR.

You have actual BMR, potential BMR, actual TDEE, and potential TDEE. Getting to potential TDEE will create a metabolism that is more forgiving to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

For those who don't know, BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate and TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure (we'll explain what these mean in the episode). 

So how do we get to potential BMR and potential TDEE?

BMR:

Improve metabolic processes by working systems of the body: Adrenals, Thyroid, Liver, Gut, Sex hormones, and Insulin.

TDEE:

Increase NEAT: Work on habits and behaviors to increase activity levels, Increase energy by feeding up, Increase desire to get out and move by improving internal health (you’re less inclined to play with your kids or do active adventures with friends when your PMS is terrible or your gut is irritated), 

Optimize NEAT: Strength train > cardio, More calorie burn POST workout, Work smarter not harder, Make it shorter and more effective, which makes you more consistent with workouts.

Optimize TEF: Work on food quality without unnecessarily removing foods and creating restriction. ADD don’t subtract mindset

This is why you’ll see me share so many quotes or testimonial videos from clients saying how they’re eating foods they used to restrict, and have LOST weight!

Listen in as we go in detail about all of this and more!
