WEEK 47

Day 323: On Prolonged Sitting

Because  a  dramatic  reduction  in  energy  expenditure  was  not

accompanied  by  reduced  appetite,  prolonged  sitting  may  promote  excess

energy intake, leading to weight gain in both men and women.

—Kirsten Granados

Research  shows  that  even  though  there’s  a  dramatic  reduction  in

energy expenditure when we sit, our appetites don’t drop down accordingly.

This  means  that  the  more  time  you  spend  sitting,  the  more  of  a  caloric

surplus you create, and you gain weight more easily.

This poses a big problem for self-discipline because no amount of self-

control will help you lose weight if you don’t expend much energy but your

appetite behaves as if you did.

If  you  sit  at  work,  consider  standing  up  for  at  least  a  period  of  time

when  working.  Stand-up  desks  are  getting  more  and  more  popular,  so  it

might be worth it to consider buying one or building it yourself. If it’s not

possible  to  work  standing  up,  at  least  get  up  every  now  and  then  and

perform some quick exercises to offset some of the negative consequences

of sitting.

At home, one of the biggest offenders is mindlessly watching TV. You

can greatly reduce the amount of time spent sitting by eliminating cable TV

and only watching specific movies or TV shows. Channel-hopping puts you

in a zombie-like state, which, when combined with snacking, can make it

almost impossible to ever get in shape.

Think of sitting as a debt you need to repay. Fortunately, you can repay

the debt not only with actual exercise, but also with little actions: standing

up in the kitchen, performing household chores, taking the stairs instead of

the  elevator,  parking  a  little  bit  farther  away  from  the  entrance  to  the

supermarket.

Strive  to  move  as  much  as  you  can,  and  you’ll  reduce  the  negative

impact prolonged sitting has on your well-being and increase your chances



of successfully shedding that belly fat.
