So basically our metabolism regulates how we process food if we eat junk food we will be slow and lazy if we eat healthy we will be more motivated to workout and have more energy 😊 got it

Hi Richie, do you think that over the counter fat burners (thermogenics) are effective when it comes to losing body fat? Your advice would be appreciated.

if your body is holding onto body fat due to not eating enough calories and slowing your metabolism? Would gradually increasing your calories help to speed up your metabolism and allow your body to stop holding onto body fat and result in weight loss? Would be thankful for any help and guidance x

Very informative. The information that 1kg muscle burns 13kcal, does this explains how exercise helps in fat loss? More the muscle, more calories burn, more fat loss. Am I right?

I have a philosophical question: if you try to increase your metabolism by increasing your NEAT... does it become EAT?? 🤔

This is just an anecdotal thing I've witnessed. But my cousin who is pretty skinny with no exercise and ate a lot. Has ADHD and I'm talking actually diagnosed and on meds. she was always moving some way and struggled paying attention in school.

That part makes a bit of sense in your video, but its obviously not enough to burn off that many calories. So the skinny kid we've all known who ate whatever he wanted and didnt work out just built different? Cause it seems their body works over time for nothing.

Respectfully brands like my protein and gymshark etc hand out sponsorships to people on social media to sell their products.

Not to discredit this video the guy is clearly educated and knows his stuff. It’s just unfortunate the newer generations only learn things from subpar gym users posting 10 second videos because they look good and recommend products they’re being paid to promote rather then educating fitness, maybe it’s down to tension spans, maybe it’s technology. Great educational video though! Thoroughly enjoyed the lesson

Hey hey bro, your body has a lot more fat than other organs???? What do you mean by that? 😂
