Raising NEAT without noticing

NEAT — every calorie spent outside workouts — swings up to 800 calories a day between an active-jobbed person and a desk-bound one, which is why two people on identical diets get different mirrors. The desk worker’s rescue kit: stairs by default, walking during every phone call, a post-lunch 10-minute loop, chores done unenthusiastically but personally, and the auto parked at the market’s far end. None of it counts as exercise; all of it counts as metabolism. A workout is 45 minutes arguing with 23 sedentary hours — NEAT is how the other side of the argument gets armed.

That is the practical takeaway behind “NEAT weight loss”: start sensibly, then adjust from evidence.
