The difference between two people with identical diets is often several hundred calories of fidgeting.
What NEAT covers
Everything you burn that is not sleeping, eating or deliberate exercise: walking, standing, cooking, fidgeting, gesturing, taking stairs, pacing on the phone. In sedentary people it typically exceeds planned exercise several times over as a share of daily expenditure.
How much it varies
Overfeeding studies found NEAT responses differing by hundreds of calories a day between individuals given identical surpluses. Some people unconsciously moved more and gained little; others did not and gained substantially. This is a large part of what people experience as metabolic luck.

Get SodaSlim — From $49Why it collapses in a deficit
As energy intake drops, the body reduces spontaneous movement without asking permission. You sit more, move more slowly and fidget less. It is unconscious, it is significant, and it is a major driver of plateaus that get misattributed to a broken metabolism.
Making it visible
A step counter converts an invisible variable into a measurable one, which is most of the fix. Set a daily floor and defend it during a diet specifically. Combining that with a thermogenic like SodaSlim works from both ends — one raises baseline burn slightly, the other stops the unconscious decline.
