Metabolism - What is it, what determines the amount of calories you need and can you change it?

Imi's Insight Podcast

This ep is a bit of a science based chat about metabolism and the components that make up the amount of energy (or calories) you use. I chat about what metabolism actually is and what determines your metabolic rate as well as the various factors that contribute to the amount of calories or energy your body metabolises or needs including BMR (basal metabolic rate), Physical activity expenditure (NEAT - non exercise activity thermogenesis and EAT - exercise activity thermogenesis) and TEF (thermic effect of food). This eps quote: No one is going to stand up at your funeral and say “she had a small waist and a great thigh gap”
