In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m going to be unpacking all things metabolism. I will be explaining in detail that metabolism is a lot more than just how many calories you burn to maintain your body weight, and exactly how much your metabolism slows down with aging and weight loss. I then will be going into detail on various metabolism boosting “hacks” and exactly how many extra calories they would burn. These include: eating breakfast, mini meals/snacks, cold plunges, spicy food, caffeine and green tea, HIIT workouts, protein and muscle mass. Finally, I will be talking about the effect of an increased metabolism on fat loss (it’s a bit depressing…) This episode is loaded with quotable details you won’t want to miss!!Thank you to Eric Williamson for the research support on this episode.
