Easy Workplace Weight Loss Solution
Dear Reader,
It's hard to imagine the workplace as helping you keep fit, after all, we spend hours at our desks, and there are usually plenty of calorie laden snacks about to keep you from suffering mid afternoon hunger pangs.
Still, a Mayo Clinic expert suggests that the office may, in fact, be an unrecognized (and as yet unused) place that can help us all stay fit. Workplace productivity improves too.
The "healthy office" approach is what is known as non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT for short) and happens naturally as we use energy for all kinds of things. Expert Dr. James A. Levine of the Mayo Clinic believes NEAT is different from other energy expending processes (digestion, at rest metabolism and exercise are the other three).
For sedentary Americans, the amount of energy burnt off by active exercise (like the kind you get during a gym workout) is "negligible" compared to what's lost via NEAT which accounts for between 15% (for very sedentary people) to almost 50% (for very active people) of the energy spent over the course of a day.
The best part? Some simple lifestyle changes can up your daily NEAT by about 20%.
To prove the point, Levine and his colleagues launched a six month experiment using these NEAT concepts, helping 18 workers at a Minneapolis financial staffing company lose a respectable 156 pounds (143 of pure body fat), just by reworking the office and the workday itself.
"By harnessing a little creativity, one can infuse the workday with movement. And in so doing -- while adjusting the way we think about food -- the pounds will simply start melting off," explains Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic's department of endocrinology.
The team started by re-engineering the office space of the company. The desks and chairs were replaced with desks that came attached to treadmills. Walking tracks were installed all around the circumference of the office space to allow for walking meetings at a pace of 1.1 miles per hour... slow and steady. The traditional phones were replaced with mobile ones, there were spaces made for active games like foosball and Wii. The staff were even outfitted with activity monitors and offered nutrition counseling.
At the end of the study, the average employee lost almost 9 pounds, 90% of it in fat. Triglyceride levels dropped by an average of 37%. Of the nine staffers who told the researchers they wanted to loose weight when the study started, the average weight loss was almost 15.5 pounds.

Easy Workplace Weight Loss Solution Continued...
There's even good news for the business. All this fitness didn't cost anything
in terms of productivity, in fact it helped. After only three months in the re-engineered
office, the staff had boosted corporate revenue by about 10%, and the firm registered
its highest monthly gross to date. Not too shabby.
Another unexpected finding to come from the work is that you don't need a gym
membership to lose weight, but rather can make use of a steady level of movement
to drop some extra pounds.
So try taking a phone call standing up... have a meeting
while you walk around... take the stairs instead of the elevator... park at the
end of the lot... move while you work in any way, and every way you can.
Changing the way we look at food is also important. Levine suggests that thinking
of food as fuel, not comfort, also makes quite a difference.
To your good health,
