If you have undergone a weight loss
plan yet failed to lose weight, there must be something wrong from the methods
that you used. This is commonly happening within the circle of those who wants
to lose weight. They wonder why they could not keep up and fail miserably. The
number one and most important key to losing weight is the calories.
You must be thinking “I have been
doing that for weeks yet there has been no improvement!” Everyone says that but
are you sure you know what you are doing? Calories are energy in a form of
food. When taken excessively, you gain weight. When taken less, the body takes
energy from the fat stores. But you should know the proper amount of calories
needed by your body in order to function well. The amount of calories needed by
your body is determined by calculating your body’s BMR or Basal Metabolic
Rate.
Take for example the body needs 2000
calories per day. If you give it the exact amount, the body gets their energy
to function from the calories you have taken in. When exceeded, like 3000, the
2000 is usually taken in while the extra 1000 is stored in fat, lying dormant.
This is the process of gaining weight like how we see the people of the world
today. When taken fewer calories like 1000, the body will need other sources to
keep the body active. The other 1000 that is needed is taken from the fat that
is stored inside the body.
To calculate for your BMR:
For men – first multiply these
separately: 6.8 x year of age, 12.7 x height (inches), and 6.23 x weight
(pounds). Add all the results then add another 66 to it.
For women – first multiply these
separately: 4.7 x year of age, 4.7 x height (inches), and 4.35 x weight
(pounds). Add all the results then add another 655 to it.
Once you have finished calculating
your BMR, you will easily be able to plan out the kind of quick weight loss that you
want. The quick way to plan out the necessary weight you want to lose is by
multiplying your BMR by 7, which stands for the days per week. With the result
of the weekly BMR, pick a specific fat in pounds that you want to lose within
the week. Once decided with a number, multiply this by 3500 and then subtract
this to the amount of calories you want to burn. This will surely make you lose
weight if you stick to it.
