A Diet of Movement

A diet of movement? I know what you’re thinking: diets are about eating food. However, when you think about it, diets are about losing weight (or trying to). 

Intermittent moving is moving harnessed for a purpose, helping one of lose weight, trim waistline, reset metabolism and gain control over appetite.

When we move, helps our metabolisms work better. You see, our metabolisms go to work when we stand up and shut down as we sit for a long time. Stand up for 90 seconds and your metabolism resets. Sit for an hour and your metabolism shuts down. Take advantage of these facts to lose weight.

Intermittent moving is a pattern of moving frequently enough to control your weight and waistline, to get the most out of them and take full advantage of how the metabolism works.

How to do it

Best practice: take 10,000 steps a day; walk 15 minutes after each meal; take breaks from sitting of 2 minutes every 30 minutes or at a minimum every hour. Want to lose more? Do more.

Get up and walk as you check social media or talk on the phone. Time yourself or use your step counter as you walk & check social media. How many steps can you take? How many calories can you burn? (Every 15 minutes=2,000 steps or 100 calories)
