A Dietitian Shares 9 Habits She Recommends to Clients For Easy, Sustainable Weight Loss

NEAT stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis; it's the calorie burn that happens outside of organized exercise like going to the gym or taking a cycling class. Emily said, "When you increase your NEAT, you can increase your overall calorie burn throughout the day without it feeling like a chore."

Some ways to increase NEAT are by parking farther from the office door, vowing to take the stairs for an entire day, getting up to walk around every hour, or going to the bathroom on a different floor. These are all ways you can increase your movement and calorie burn, without having to dedicate more time to the gym.
