This is a video I've wanted to make for a while. It seems to me that there is one group of people who think metabolic rates are completely set in stone, while another large group of people continue to believe in thoroughly debunked "metabolic boosters". There is misinformation on both sides of the debate, so I hope that this video brings some clarity to the discussion. The research and editing on this one took me WAY longer than expected, so that's the main reason for the slightly longer delay between uploads. My next goal content-wise is to finish the (still ongoing) ultimate push/pull/legs series before the end of the month (latest: early July). I've got some really thorough training content on the way soon! Appreciate you all! Peace!

I've always wondered if a "fast metabolism" could just be inefficient digestion compared to another person. I wouldn't think every person processes the same meal with the same efficiency. Or is digestion the one system that's uniform for everyone? Hard to think that's the case. Some lucky person has to eat twice as much to actually net the same calories as me for their body?

That was so much sensible and useful info in 15 mins. The only thing I’d add which has worked for me is going for extra walks, which I find especially useful when working from home (when I can end up with less than 2000 steps in a day if I don’t go for a walk). Not only are walks good for an extra 400 cals but they are also great for mental health.

I recently started doing this (and I also work from home). I walk about 6km (not every day but 4 to 5 times a week) at a moderate pace, and after 3 weeks, I can see and feel a difference in my body (I'm working out 4 times a week but no cardio at the gym).

Woah. I’m in a Jeff Nippard video how cool! Thanks man 😊 with regards to reverse dieting I think it’s highly misunderstood for increasing metabolism. It helps undo the suppression from dieting, but it won’t help your calories get higher than your normal genetic potential at least outside of potential muscle built during.

More to do with limb lengths, but the general gist is the longer your arms or legs are for a press or squat respectively, the "worse" leverages you have. It means you use more effort to move the weight as it travels a longer distance than it would for a lifter of shorter limb lengths. This is actually a blessing if you train for hypertrophy since you get "more" out of less weight and volume.

That's a great idea for a video. Somehow I doubt there is much literature on this though. I've heard for tall people it makes sense to cut the range of motion shorter to maximize time under tension. I notice this myself on lat pull-downs for example, at the very top and very bottom the tension transfers away from lats and towards biceps and upper back, so when I'm targeting lats specifically I stay in the middle of the range. I also feel for biceps at full extension it becomes a forearm exercise with no bicep contraction

What a great video, this man is truly ahead of not only the fitness community, but all the KZread atmosphere.

Jeff at his best. Great video. Just the right amount of information.

Paying attention to hydration definitely helped me, in two ways. I felt more energised in general, which boosted my NEAT a bit. And I used to crave food when what my body actually needed was some water. So my snacking went way down when I started drinking enough water. All in all, it's not that water boosted my metabolism, it's that dehydration indirectly slowed it down.

I think there's another factor to consider. If you're somebody who has a very strong cardiovascular system (you are conditioned by exercise and cardio), I feel as though that could have a pretty considerable impact on your metabolism simply because your body utilizes oxygen far more effectively than say someone who doesn't condition themselves. It makes it easier to move around more and work out harder which equates to more calorie burn throughout the day and during workouts.

I can support this from personal experience. I had been a competitive runner in highschool but dropped off. I definitely noticed how it became more difficult to do even small efforts compared to when I was in shape. When I got back into running, at first this stayed the same. However, there was a point where I passed some barrier and suddenly small efforts became trival again. For reference for those curious, I started with running around 3 miles, trying to get to 5 days a week. Then I worked on making my runs range from 3-5 miles. Only then did I look at pace. During the 3-5 mile phase, there was a point where the 3 mile runs went from workouts to simply runs, then once I worked on pace, slower runs actually felt easy. It was only once I hit that point where 3 mile runs were no longer workouts that I got back the same freedom of exhersion that I had once had. A small jog or a quick sprint where no longer a problem. After this I started doing other phisical activies because they where no longer tiring to participate in, leading to massive increases in metabolic rate. I got to the point where I was burning nearly 5000 cal a day on average. I've pulled back from that a bit since as it was alot, but I still easily burn 4k in a day that I'm being active. The moral of the story is that getting to a certain level of cardiovascular health can help tremendously in getting more active as it will make smaller expenditures of energy go from a reasonable amount of effort to a near effortless task. I would personal recommend getting to running 3-5 miles 5 days a week as I think that that is where the tipping point is. And don't worry about pace, that only matters if you want to get better at running, which is optional. P.s. For those starting out or who have been out of the game for a while, I've discovered that striding in circles on a trampoline is a suprisingly effective way to prep your body for the rigors of running as well as increasing metabolic rate. It is a easy task that you can do for long periods and trains all the muscles that you will need once you start running. Personally I enjoyed going out and jumping for hours while listening to audio books, and this burned a ridiculous amount of calories. You will feel this in your calves though.

meal frequency has worked immensely for me. Used to eat 3 large meals a day to make up around 2500 calories and sat around 20% BF. 3-4 months after changing to 5 smaller meals a day i now sit around 12% BF and feel and look really good. An added bonus of eating 5 meals a day while trying to build muscle is that i'm giving myself more chances throughout the day for muscle protein synthesis, meaning my muscles have more chances to grow than a person on a standard 3 a day meal plan.

Also, cardio gets easier, and you can easily burn more calories in the same time. Definitely easier to predict weight loss using nutrition and knowing what you eat though 💯 agree.

The difference muscle mass makes on Claire burn is even greater than expressed by Jeff. The numbers used where in regards to a body at rest. But when moving or using muscle tissue to move weight, the difference in calories burned or recruited is increased by an even greater extent. Muscle mass is truly one of the most guaranteed ways to “increase metabolism.” I always say “cardio’s good for losing weight, but weight lifting is good for keeping it off.”

For those starting out or who have been out of the game for a while, I've discovered that striding in circles on a trampoline is a surprisingly effective way to prep your body for the rigors of running as well as increasing metabolic rate. It is a easy task that you can do for long periods and trains all the muscles that you will need once you start running. Personally I enjoyed going out and jumping for hours while listening to audio books, and this burned a ridiculous amount of calories. You will feel this in your calves though.

Exactly. I see all these videos and blogs like "Cardio barely burns any calories!" and I'm sitting here thinking, "Well, yeah. You're out of shape and can barely run two miles. My runs burn 1000 calories in an hour and I'm not even exhausted the next day because I'm conditioned."

Dude where will I get the time to go running and weight lifting 5 times a week if I want to maintain other hobbys and go to work at the same time?

Running two miles is out of shape? 😢

@@m.filmtrip Depends on where you are and where you've been. I was a very competitive cross-country athlete before, and even when out-of-shape, my body still remembers and maintains some of that fitness. Not to mention that that note at the end of that comment was there for a reason. When I was coming back to running after a few years of no real exercise, I started off by simply jogging in circles on a trampoline to train the stability and support muscles up in a low impact environment. Only after a few months of that did I start running again (though I could have started earlier, I just like trampolining), and with that prior training I could definitely run 3 miles off the bat. Regardless, For you, out of shape may mean you can only run half a mile. That's completely okay. What matters is building up, first in terms of days a week, then in mileage. If that means running half a mile 5 days a week, go for it. you can still work up to getting 5 miles a day, it will just take you longer as you've not trained your body to do that before, it's new. Fun fact: All the crazy elite athletes that run crazy miles didn't get there overnight. They have spent years slowly and steadily building up mileage year after year. People like Eliud Kipchoge or Kelvin Kiptum have been running consistently for upwards of 15 years straight at minimum to attain their ridiculous weekly mileage stats. Details on how to do that: The only thing you need to keep in mind is monitoring your heart rate and slowly increasing your mileage. For heart rate, check out the MAF 180 formula to find your aerobic threshold, and make sure your harder runs are between threshold and 10 minus threshold(if the threshold wat 155, hard runs would range from 145 to 155 bpm). As for mileage, start with a maximum increase in weekly mileage of 10-20 percent. This process is the initial phase of base training; once you've been at it for a while (ideally 3-6 months), you can start incorporating runs exceeding your aerobic threshold. Note: Don't worry about pace. If you have to do periods of walk and rest, that's okay. The biggest factors here are time working out/miles traveled and heart rate. As long as you aren't increasing miles/time too quickly and you are keeping your heart rate below threshold, pace will slowly start coming over the course of those first months. Only once you've gotten to that 3-5 mile a day threshold should pace become a consideration, and only to the extent that you start including interval training and/or strides a little bit (no more than 20% of your total mileage in any given week). Good luck with getting into shape if you wish to do so!

Awesome video as always! Maybe I missed it, but did the metabolism study include training? Or was it your "natural" expendature? Metabolism used among "normal" people tend to include only how much you burn without taking training into consideration, so that would be interesting to know.

High quality information as always! Thank you. 🙏💪👍

For me personally - and probably for a lot of people - I'm finding that stress (cortisol) is a massive lever for weight loss. If you are chronically stressed or your sympathetic nervous system is overly active, that affects a large cascade of metabolic hormones, especially insulin, leptin and ghrelin. Long story short, if you activate your parasympathetic nervous system regularly (via meditation, breathwork, yoga, etc), you will increase insulin sensitivity, increase leptin sensitivity, and decrease ghrelin. All of those factors together dramatically decrease your hunger and cravings, making it way easier to eat less calories and lose fat. It's working for me.

But stress can do the opposite on gherkin , so might not work for everyone. Which is why u see people gain weight or loose weight during exam season

Really depends on how you deal with stress. Stress actually burns alot of calories. But if you're a stress eater then that will have the reverse effect.

Cold plunges work for white fat to brown fat conversion and easier consumption as fuel, and the euphoria from one really has you running around a bit more the next few hours. Food for thought

Youre right weight loss is purely hormonal

Great video king, I'm just doing maintenance right now after finishing my 200lb cut (365 > 163) so a lot of your tips have been helpful for me.
