Knowing Your Own BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
It is really important to know your own BMR. Knowing your own Basal Metabolic Rate can help you in managing your own weight as well as calories intake for your body.
BMR is the battery indicator for our body. Battery = Energy needed.
Remote control operates using battery. If the battery is weak, then, we won’t be able to perform the functions on the remote control itself.
Same goes to our body too. Each one of us has our own battery indicator, the BMR which is the amount of calories needed by our body to let us have the energy to perform daily activities like walking, doing house chores, working, driving and etc based on the individual person’s age, muscle mass, physic rating, body fat %, visceral fat and body water %.
Is easy. If you go to gym or any weight loss coach, they will have a weighing scale that measures your body that is able to tell you your BMR.
It is very useful and important. Because when you know the amount of calories needed by your body, let’s say is 1250 calories. And everyday, your total calories intake is 1800. That means it is excess by 550 calories. What happen to those excess 550 calories inside your body? Assuming you do not work out. And the excess 550 calories is not burnt. It will then stored inside the body and slowly weight gain will happen. But, if you do work out and manage to burn off the 550 calories, then you will be maintaining your body weight.
And if you take lesser than 1250, assuming only1000 calories every day. Reduce by 250 calories every single day. If this can be done consistently for a period of time, that is when weight loss will happen.
Let’s say you know that your BMR is 1150 calories. And you trying to be smart, by starving and skipping meals. And your calories intake is only 150. Guess what will happen? You will be suffering and torturing yourself. Can drastic weight loss happen? Of course it will happen, but it won’t give you long term results. Simply is because how long can you sustain by having daily diet food intake that is just 150 calories everyday? Believe me, you will collapsed and worst ended up in the hospital.
And worst, once you started to eat back normally, that is when Yo Yo effects will happen to you!
Same goes to the people who thinks that they eat so little and exercise like crazy. It seems healthy way of dieting, in actual fact is NOT! When your body is not getting the sufficient energy required, it will then be in sleeping mode. Just like the remote control, no matter how hard you press the button, when there is battery is weak it will not work at all.
If you are on any weight management program, make sure you know your own BMR – Basal Metabolic Rate.
