How to Burn 800+ Calories Per Day NO EXERCISE

[@MrDaisygrand]

Let me put this fat loss idea straight: 1. Fidgeting: Slow, constant movement burns energy and can reduce fat gain, but its effect is minimal unless you're doing it all day long. 2. Insulin and Fructose: High insulin spikes from fructose (found in sugar, wheat, drinks) lead to fat gain if there’s a calorie surplus. The daily limit is 6 teaspoons-anything beyond that becomes toxic to the liver, like alcohol. The worst culprit is apple juice. Whole fruits are fine occasionally because they support gut bacteria. 3. Stress and Cortisol: Cortisol from stress promotes fat storage in the abdominal and visceral areas, serving as fast energy reserves, like for animals to escape from predators. Worst is internal fat near by organs. 4. Visceral Fat Removal: To get rid of visceral fat, you need HIIT (short, high-intensity heart rate sessions) and a low-insulin diet. For example, 30-second sprints followed by 90 seconds of slower movement. 5. Healthy Fat: Fat stored in the buttock, chest area is healthy and necessary. Conclusion: Losing weight without eating enough (like meat and fat) and not doing HIIT or much walking is counterproductive. You end up losing weight from areas where a healthy person wouldn’t want to.

I am that. I eat a lot and I'm thin. The chronometer confirms that I eat a lot, yet I am 65 kg and 185 cm tall. What is characteristic for me is that I am nervous, I constantly fidget, jump with my legs while sitting, some part of my body is constantly in motion. And also, I'm tense, my muscles are tight. In order to increase my body mass, which I did once experimentally, I had to increase my calories to at least 3500kcal... Of course, it is extremely exhausting, and I wish I could eliminate it...

[@tchaliz4925]

I know what you mean, I am 66 yeras old, 64 kg, 182cm, 18% body fat, I finally accept it, since eating up to 3000cal and more is not sustainable. But I believe it works the other way round, what make us move also make us burn cals, it s not the movement itself, i believe it s beneath that

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

I’d love to eat 3000 cal a day!! 😂 I’m actually working my way up to that, but it’ll take a while. The Ray Peat community says the more calories you can eat and sustain your weight, the better. But anyway, why not do high fat protein sources? 80/20 ground beef, butter, whole milk, cheese, heavy cream, chocolate, yogurt, coconut cream, etc. 😋 If I was eating normal fat animal products instead of low fat ones, I’d probably be around 2200 calories a day, but, I can’t sustain that for now metabolism wise.

[@bartginger123]

Do you take any magnesium to calm your nervous system etc.? I recommend magnesium glycinate form because it is good absorption w/o causing diarrhea. I think this would really help you because most of us (if not all) are low in magnesium. Blood tests do not reflect the cellular levels. Only supplement contraindication is those with kidney failure (kidneys balance magnesium).

[@gagis9058]

@@bartginger123 My diet, according to the chronometer, usually contains over 600 mg of magnesium, over 5 g of potassium, as well as all other vitamins and minerals above the daily recommended doses. The same applies to amino acids, for example, I consume an average of 5-6 g of glycine, etc. (about 1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight) ... In addition, I also consume vitamin B complex and 100 mg of magnesium in the form of glycinate, I have no reason to a higher dose. And even when I was taking 400mg, I didn't notice a difference. The keto diet makes a difference for me, but it always destroys my testosterone and libido, regardless of how long I stick to it and how many positive effects it brings me. Last time I kept her for 6 months. I barely recovered my testosterone afterwards. By the way, I also tried keto with 2g of protein per 1kg of body weight, it was even worse. Normally, I'm on about 150g of net carbs and that suits me, it's kind of spontaneous for me, in accordance with the requirements of my apefit. In other words, it is very difficult for me to eat more than that.

[@vincewarren1271]

Fidgeters are more likely to be in a calorie surplus which is why they have the extra energy to fidget. Once you begin a deficit, the extra movements of fidgeting tend to reside as your body becomes acclimated to the deficit to conserve energy.

I think this is very logical. It highly suggest people who are operating at an "excited" level burns more energy throughout the day while those who don't "fidget" at operating at a rested state and thus burn less. It seems to imply that one should strive to spend the day at a higher pace than normal, faster walks, brisk movement and of course, to include a lot of activity throughout, at low intensity but prolonged. Couple that with consistent low impact workouts, should mean a very good and sustainable lifestyle at managing weight while getting things done more. What a nice combo. Lets get it, insha ALLAH.

I guess unconsciousness fidgeting is something that nervous people do. Nervous people do that during every single work they do and this might negatively impact other aspects of their life. But, if we consciously add small movements selectively into our daily life, this can be beneficial, especially small things like frequently standing up and sitting down instead of sitting a long time behind our desks while working. Or we can do daily chores like washing our dishes by hands instead of using machines. In this case, we are burning calories while doing some other tasks that can bring other useful effects.

In our family, we call it "fidget to fitness." It can be annoying to the observer and look a little like ADHD. It may look like anxiety, which burns calories as well. Things I do unconsciously are swing my leg, shift my position regularly, and clean periodically. I often rock myself to sleep, my leg, for instance. Overstimulating to relaxation. At rest, it looks different because of this fidgeting behavior.

My watch app would say I burned around 50 calories a mile, when it should be 100. When I did the ride across Iowa, a friend of mine and I never lost any weight. It is so much more than movement.

Listen Wendy, I don't know your age, but if you are in or close to Menopause, then the only thing that will work for burning off fat and having good body temperature is HRT, and not just estrogen and progesterone, but add in Thyroid hormone as well. Once your hormones leave they never come back. your body cannot burn fat without progesterone which you aren't making if you stopped ovulating, and estrogen lowers blood sugars very well, keeping insulin levels low, which is key for keeping the pounds off. this is the only thing that worked for me.

[@julielachtay5618]

I constantly fidget and I just spent 18 months in the UK where I feel like I shivered non stop because I was constantly cold and I gained so much weight I barely recognise myself.🙄

[@allisiux3625]

watched 2 episodes of grey´s anatomy, walked the whole time, burned 411 cals,and 5 km. going to do it everyday.

[@tron3652]

I know someone with Parkinson that has lost a lot of weight because of the shakes/tremors all day. She is also constantly anxious...possibly from soo much adrenaline being released

[@travelingartistnilofarmehrin]

Dancing to the groove 😅 is like fidgeting

[@corinnerudz7921]

If you're sitting, yes!

[@blasterbrain1443]

All you have to do is forget snacking, do away with breakfast, and better if you also do away with lunch. After a couple days, you won’t be hungry during the day, and your body will use your fat storage. Better if you’re also active, and the more active the better.

[@Astray7]

I always thought that people who are fidgeters is the secret of them being slim.

[@LyricosAndGuitar]

Thank you!

[@celestialveins]

This would explain why I know for a fact I eat way more than what the calorie calcs say, but never gain weight. I am fat, though, but I should def be way fatter. And constantly gaining weight.

[@evatar4052]

Oh my gosh, that explains so much! I'm a fidgeter and a shiverer. Literally cannot stand still. But I am not a pacer.. hmm yet?

[@evatar4052]

I had this theory that it was my 'THINKING' that burned all the calories I consumed, since brain is such an energy-hungry organ and I tend to over -think, -analyse, -do etc.. and (this was the crown jewel of my theory) scientists and other occupationally heavy thinkers are skinny people, no? Haha, but nope - it's the jitters! Oh, so good to know that. I probably burned a k knee-jerking through this post 😂

[@anna1417]

I stopped the video at 2:30... I have a coworker, who I hate because during the 8 hours he is in the office, he is bouncing one leg. Sometimes both legs. *He is obese.* Very. I find it hard to believe this theory.

[@cynthiastill6645]

Wouldn't a person with a higher metabolism (associated with weight loss) tend to be fidgeters anyway? So couldn't that be the underlying factor, i.e. metabolism?

[@RespireOfficial]

That’s an interesting point, although I’m not sure I see the correlation. Why would people with higher metabolism tend to be fidgeters?

[@cynthiastill6645]

@@RespireOfficialI've always understood a faster metabolism is one associated with a more efficient conversion of fat to energy as opposed to a slower metabolism that readily converts calories to stored energy in the form of fat.

[@cynthiastill6645]

So those with faster, fat-burning metabolisms literally fidget a lot because they have energy to burn and stay slim whereas people with slower, fat-retaining metabolisms won't have that energy and are more likely to be sedentary as opposed to fidgeters.

[@Ladynipchick2]

Yes, you mean they're already wired, so tend to fidget anyway, and therefore burn more fat, hence needing to eat more. Something like that?

[@anuduwal8494]

There is a kapha-vata-pitta three types of main body in ayurveda.kindly have a look.​@@RespireOfficial

[@hafsah1991]

theres a bbc documentary about this that watch people to understand what habits they have to stay thin

[@writervictoria]

One way to trick yourself to burn calories is to walk 3 miles to a store twice a day as to pretend you are going shopping every day for food or essential needs or hang out at the mall for but take no more than 25 bucks so you dont spend too much money, get a hiking buddy or spend most of your dad outdoors walking every where yoy need to go even to get the bus places. In the 90s we constantly moved and was lean. My friend is in his 60s and has been super fit his entire his life and he eats half his meal standing up and never sits down unless it is bed time or he is meditating.

[@loneranger7573]

I tend to play the "drums" on just about any surface, like a table, my thighs, use my hands and feet as If I were really playing. This gets me sweaty and burns a lot of sugar, proof is when I do this to a good song ot two, then I check my blood sugar and it goes down as much as if I had gone for a brisk walk for 15 or 20 minutes. Ha!

[@corinnerudz7921]

I remember being a fidgeter in my catechism class 60 years ago and always got yelled at by the nun with threats of rapping my knees with a ruler

[@muneirovalibas6194]

My understanding is that it seems to suggest that being excitable that translate to physical movements, is a very powerful way of encouraging the body to burn energy because your body anticipated your fidgeting/nervousness into "he/she needs energy. Quick, burn the energy stores!" ALLAH has really made it easy for us, what a marvelous design the body is.

In other words, become Clark Kent when he is getting ready for work at the Daily Plane😮

[@wireropedynamics5294]

I would like to know whether this is related more to anxiety than fidgetting per se. I know several people who see themselves as being anxious and who are rake thin no matter what they eat. The fidgetting might be an external display of anxiety.

[@Sunnygoldenretriever]

Wow,Thank you

[@RespireOfficial]

No, thank you!

[@MauiViolinist]

I’m a violinist, so the more i practice & rehearse, the more I lose fat?! Mozart or Bach? What about my jazz trio?! yes!!

[@vincentflauto7650]

So me being a chef I’m constantly moving, walking lifting, cutting, chopping opening and closing the fridges up and down steps cleaning and being a fidgeter and knee bouncer. etc. I must burn a ton of calories

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

Your science friend was also burning calories with thinking, and "excessive" thinking most likely "encouraged" the twitching, by that I mean, his brain waves' resonance passed some electricity to his receptors that control his limbs.

[@goofyahhaccount119]

In a perfect world this would apply to playing video games since you are fidgeting with the controller or the keyboard.

[@oxheadsoup9851]

But does fidgeting cause weight loss, or is fidgeting a result of a higher basal metabolic rate?

[@KashifJavedForex]

So that is why vibration plates work for weight loss?

[@moon_girl66]

Its not particularly fidgeting, its actually restlessness, my kids are like this, they are constantly restless, especially my 2 year old, shes always running around, i cant make her sit on one place, she eats and runs around and shes thin compared to other kids her age

[@KarenKLS]

I like finding new ways to add to what I'm doing
