20.01.2022 Is a stand-up desk really beneficial? Are you using one at work? What do you consider to be beneficial? Studies have shown that oxygen consumption in a sitting position (i.e. work, study, tv) vs standing doesn't differ much. In fact, a person would only burn 24 extra calories over 3hrs when standing; equivalent to a carrot. Therefore, it's unlikely to help with weight loss or prevent weight gain. However, time spent sitting is strongly associated with increased rates of the ...metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Confusing right?? A systematic review compared the results of studies looking at standing desks and treadmill desks. Short term, the treadmill desk provides the greatest physiological improvements and is most beneficial for overweight and obese participants. However, the use of a treadmill desk results in larger decreases in work productivity. On the other hand, the standing-only desk could potentially result in additional complications with musculoskeletal conditions and feelings of fatigue and discomfort. . In summary, standing desks don't provide much benefit without actual movement. For calorie burning, you would benefit more by going for a walk a few times a day (i.e. walking to fill up your water bottle, grab printing, buy lunch or talk to colleagues). To decrease your risk of musculoskeletal injuries, you would benefit more by standing and stretching. And for psychological benefits, you would benefit more by completely having a break away from the screen.

12.01.2022 The importance of smaller steps is that they become reachable! This applies to weight loss. I often see so many clients take 8 week challenges or extreme diets (ketogenic, intermittent fasting, weight watchers, optifast etc etc) in the hope they will get results fast, even though they haven't even got the basics right first. But the basics stack up and achieve the same results. The main difference is that the weight loss lasts longer with the basics approach. Examples of this... are eating structured & portioned meals, having a variety of food groups, moving your body daily (even if not high intensity), and eating/drinking less high sugar/fat foods. Doing this, you will TEACH yourself how to eat by learning what strategies work or don't work for you. Do these things consistently, you will lose weight AND feel better about yourself because you won't be unnecessarily restricting your food intake. "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn" (Benjamin Franklin). This quote can be applied to this situation, where involving yourself in the process of your weight loss journey, will end up with better results (not just taking a diet from your gym and running with it regardless if it suits you or not).
11.01.2022 It’s the big picture that matters. The type of fat you eat is more important than the total amount. Discover more from Heart Foundation Australia https://www.heartfoundation.org.au//fats-oils-and-heart-he
