PLT Nutrition Coaching has always been about coachclient get togethers.

Our PLT Nutrition Community cover picture is some 3 years old now and its a collage of many pictures of our awesome clients. We always have been more than an online company, we have always been 'in-person' where possible.

This week Paul & Patti had the pleasure of breakfast with a PLT OG, Caryn💛

It never ceases how connected and familiar we become with someone we have never met, just from being close to them in our regular interactions.

This is how coaching should be. Not everyone is ‘Neighbor A’ but we certainly wish them to be and always meet clients where they need us

Achieving our body composition requires balancing our energy intake (calories) with our energy output (our metabolism)

The largest part of our metabolism is our BMR - approx 70% (Basal Metabolic Rate - the energy our body needs to function)

Your BMR is defined by you, your physical size (height and weight (and so size of organs)

And whilst this can increase/decrease with body size changes (gaining/losing weight) the changes are fairly negligible all things considered.

A persons BMR is typically around 9x their bodyweight (women) and 10x for a man (ballpark figures)

The other parts to your metabolism in size order are:
NEAT - the energy used through general movement (15%)
TEF - the energy required by your body to process food (10%)
EAT - exercise (only 5%)

As you can see, exercise is almost inconsequential for those with fat loss goals.

The game is won/lost with NEAT, and helped by TEF.
More standing than sitting, more walking than using a car etc will help keep your NEAT higher.
Eating more whole foods, more lean protein, more fibrous foods will help increase your TEF.

Neither NEAT or TEF tangible as such, they’re a hidden part to our metabolism. The part we typically see is EAT/exercise.

We exercise and believe we are being active but if we spend our days sitting not standing, and eating more processed foods, then we are missing the biggest components of our metabolism that we can somewhat control.

Walking truly is a ninja when it comes to fat loss.
As are lean proteins and fiber. Lean protein (food not drinks) has the highest TEF of all and will satiate you longer.
Add in fiber & some healthy fats to slow digestion and aid satiation and you have a 1-2 punch!

Hit all 3 and you’re well on your way to your goals.
This is why your foundational weeks at PLT Nutrition Coaching are super important and until you master the basics your journey will be harder and longer.
