First Law of Thermodynamics Energy In vs. Energy Out
Basic equation for weight gain, weight maintenance, or weight loss.
For weight loss, one must eat less, burn more calories, or both. Negative energy balance.
For weight gain, one must eat more, burn less calories, or both. Positive energy balance.

Energy In/Energy Out Focus on nutrition first!
~Nutrition 75%/Exercise 25% Hunter-gatherers study
Too easy to out-eat exercise 30 min jogging = 1 Snickers bar 90 min walking = 1 Naked smoothie

Energy In/Energy Out Research: Humans are bad at estimating
calories in, calories out Treadmill + buffet study
Recommendation: Do not exercise to earn the right to eat! (The Free Pass)

#4 There’s no hidden secret to weight loss. If it sounds too good to be true, it
probably is. Healthy weight is a long-term solution,
not a quick fix. Our lifestyle and habits over time will determine our weight.

dinner roll, ½ cup broccoli = 675 calories 4 oz steak, ½ cup mashed potatoes, 1 cup
broccoli, 1 small dinner salad = 470 calories Fruits/vegetables

Other Nutrition Considerations Satiety
Fiber Protein Hydration
Macronutrient distribution Protein: 10-15% Fat: 25-30% Carbs: 45-65%

#1 Move More, Sit Less Moving skeletal muscle burns calories! Biggest issue?
Sedentary lifestyle behaviors Average American sits 9.3 hours per day
More than we sleep.

Hierarchy of Fat Loss1. Correct Nutrition2. See #1.3. Activities that burn calories,
maintain/promote muscle mass, and elevate metabolism. (Resistance training, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
4. Activities that burn calories and elevate metabolism. (HIIT, MVPA)
5. Activities that burn calories but don’t necessarily maintain muscle or elevate metabolism. (LIPA, light to moderate steady state cardio). • Alwyn Cosgrove—Real

Resistance Training Maintains/Promotes Lean Muscle Mass
Skeletal Muscle is the “engine” of the body. i.e. it burns a lot of fuel The bigger the engine, the more fuel is required.
Promotes Strength Keeps us “functional” Boosts metabolism if done at correct intensity
Afterburn Increases Work Capacity Wide variety of modalities and methods
![Page 21: Healthy Weight Basics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554aa058b4c905df668b4611/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Resistance Training Recommendations
2-3 days per week 6-8 Exercises per session 1-4 sets per exercise 8-15 reps per set Focus on Full body, functional movements
Squats, Deadlifts, Lunges, Step Ups, Pushing and Pulling, & Core
![Page 22: Healthy Weight Basics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554aa058b4c905df668b4611/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cardiovascular Exercise Has capacity to burn a lot of calories
Depends on modality, duration, intensity Boosts metabolism (at high enough
intensities) HIIT
Increases Work Capacity VO2—Body’s ability to take in and utilize
oxygen. Oxygen is “burned” along with CHO & Fat to
produce energy for our bodies. Wide variety of modalities and methods

Cardiovascular Exercise Recommendations
3-5 days per week Variables
Duration Intensity Modalities and Types
Steady State/LSD Intervals Tempo or Pace

General Exercise Recommendations
…for healthy weight loss, weight maintenance, and general fitness: Incorporate a blend of cardiovascular and
resistance exercise, at moderate to high intensities.
Change it up! Exercise Pitfalls
People do the same thing over and over People don’t exercise at a higher intensity
level. You can’t do the same thing at the same
intensity and expect different results

Sleep & Stress Sleep
Powerful regulator of appetite During sleep
Grehlin (appetite stimulant) decreases Leptin (appetite suppressant) increases
Sleep deprivation = increased intake of calories and carbohydrates
Stress Management

Motivation We can’t count on willpower and
motivation Motivation ebbs and flows Constantly changes
Focus on small behaviors Keep it simple Make it easy Engineer your environment to set yourself
up for success
