Can Exercise Actually “Boost” Your Metabolism? | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter | TED
Can you “boost” your metabolism by exercising more? Well, it’s complicated. Diving deep into surprising truths about how the body conserves and expends energy in the form of calories, Dr. Jen Gunter reveals what your metabolism actually does, the role of exercise — and other things weight loss culture doesn’t want you to know.

She’s correct and I get the significance of it, but I don’t think she had communicated all her ideas accurately.
300 calories a day seems rather significant to me. If you’re building muscle, according to her, larger bodies have faster metabolisms. The “unless you’re a professional athlete” line doesn’t explain that as well as just stating it would, and it would be good to see a range of calories for that.

If you can stick to significant exercise that builds muscle mass, go for it. You’ll be able to eat another small fries each day. Most people stop exercising if it’s hard, others get injured, and few do it with significant muscle mass gain.

She should have just said nutrition plays a bigger part than exercise when it comes to managing weight and as you lose weight your energy demand will drop as well and called it a day
Blake Beaton
October 12, 2022 at 9:20 pm
I have been 185lbs and I have been 225lbs. The difference is a consistent calorie intake with proper nutrition and way more resistance training and cardio than an average person can reasonably sustain. Muscle mass was a big part of losing/gaining the weight. But she does say that metabolism and weight loss are fundamentally different things. But you’re right, less sciene than there ought to be focuses on how to lose weight and keep it off using muscle building at the core.

Helps explain why exercise alone doesn’t do much for weight loss. It’s still part of the process though. And aside from this tremendous other physical and mental health benefits to be gained as well.

So it is okay to use the word “thin”…..but fat people are “large”. I’m “small”, i.e. thin….and people are quite happy to remind me of it. Usually people who do so are fat and these days if you call me thin I’ll tell them exactly what they are.

idk man, when you exercise you exhaust more CO2, that CO2 is a byproduct of glucose metabolism so if you exercise you actually do consume more glucose whether it’s from the food you ate or converted from your fat deposits.

This video is misleading AF.
You already mentioned how one can “boost” their metabolism by getting “bigger”. The study you mentioned shows why a bunch of cardio will not “boost” your metabolism, which most people in the fitness world understand.
But strength training with the goal of gaining more lean muscle mass will absolutely increase your BMR.
sravya varali
October 13, 2022 at 5:39 pm
But when people say exercise, very few people actually talk about serious strength training. So the video is not misleading, it is just reflective of general public’s notions. Even if you are strength training, and building a whole lot of muscle, you will gain weight. So you do end up having a bigger body.

Well, last week youtube showed me a video which said that running isn’t that healthy and may detrimental to your body, and today I saw this. So basically they just debunked everything without clearly telling us the answer.

Why is that all these educated people say they understand, but then make comments like that our body gets use to exercise so it spends less. Yes, but that means you can WORK HARDER for the same amount. She’s not wrong, but she also didn’t go further with it leaving out information. This is incomplete and misleading. You’re telling me that people who do actual physical work have the same output as someone who sits at a desk all day? YOU’RE MAD! How can you get so much right with so much wrong? smh

This might be one of the worst TED Talks I’ve ever seen. Keep in mind, I’m a recovering exercise physiologist- so, take my perspective with a grain of salt. While more or less factually accurate (she omits discussing things like excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)), the message that’s being delivered to the viewer is that exercise just isn’t that important. My guess is that she’s attempting to convey the notion that for the aveage person who exercises at a ~moderate intensity for less than 1 hour per day every day of the week, that exercise alone isn’t especially effective at driving weight loss. That being said, regular exercise is exceptionally effective at weight maintenance- people who exercise regularly do much better at metabolic homeostasis. Exercise is also the best form of prophylactic “medicine” for practically every form of illness- chronic or otherwise. So please, don’t take Dr. Jen’s advice to heart. By all means, EXERCISE.

Don’t use this video as an excuse to not exercise, it is misleading and downplays it’s relevance…

This is just some fat acceptance BS masquerading as science. The omission of lean muscle mass and BMR leaves all those snowflake fatties with the option to throw up their hands and say “see? It’s much genetics”. This video is shameful.

Metabolism mostly is genetic, and it help to manage energy.
NOVIANISYA MAHARANI SUSANTO

Researchers have found that exercise triggers the release of signaling molecules into the bloodstream that release more energy for use by the muscles. Thus increasing metabolism and preventing the possibility of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Okay, there’s just so much random hate in the comments, and I get it. People are offended when they are told that exercise doesn’t “speed up metabolism” although it is true that it wont’. I think this video is a reminder that metabolism is so much more complex than just exercising. Watch Jeff Nippard’s in-depth video on the same subject. Exercise is NOT BAD. It is important. But if you see someone who is unable to lose weight through exercise alone, just know that exercising even harder will most likely not solve the problem. For all of you who are personally hurt by this video, count yourselves lucky that you haven’t had to deal with metabolic issues where exercise, etc. don’t help anymore in controlling your weight. But for a lot of people suffering with various metabolic issues, that is a reality. Additionally, there is this notion that they are lazy, hence their health issues.

I just knew that this was going to be one of those video excuses for fat people. “I’m not fat, it’s my metabolism.”
Well, I just turned 45 and I lost over 20 pounds in three months and you bet I exercised at least 3 times a week (oddly enough, my diet was pretty much the same but I did cut out desserts during the work week).
Mitocondria reactions is what turnes calories into energy, and your gut has a fixed number while your muscles can increase and decrease depending on their mass… So yeah, you wanna loose weight you gotta stop looking for excuses and do some life changing choices my friend.

Apart from burning calories, exercise builds muscle (skeletal, smooth, cardiac, etc.) and resistance training is as important as cardio. The more lean body mass you have the more basal calories you burn. It’s a fact that this “expert” should acknowledge rather than encouraging people not to exercise to have a boost in metabolism.

This lady is talking pure nonsense. If you sit and do nothing, you burn 2000 cal, if you hard working all day you burn up to 6000 or even more calories. Metabolism itself is not boosted, but you burn waay more calories. Movement is everything, nutritios is overrated
Jeff Smith
October 16, 2022 at 11:29 pm
300 calories a day is a massive difference. That’s an extra pound of fat every 12 days. She didn’t even answer the question. Exercise does boost your BMR. Genetics also plays a huge role and knowing that you have a slow metabolism can help you adjust. This is click bate for people that want to justify avoiding exercise.
