Increase Metabolism Rate to Lose Weight

-

As we know that the rule of thumbs for Losing Weight is
CALORIES OUT > CALORIES IN

There are many ways to make adjustment for this equation, either we eat less to reduce calories intake or we do more activities to increase calories output.

One way is to increase our metabolism rate.
After our age is reaching 30, our metabolism rate starts decreasing especially if we never or seldom exercise. If we are the person who are not into strict diet, we could leverage our body to burn more calories by increasing our metabolism rate.

What is metabolism rate ?
It's the number of calories that our body needs to perform basic body's function like breathing, cell production, circulation. On another term, it can be defined as the number of calories that our body burned at rest.

How to calculate metabolism rate ?
We can use our age, activity type, gender, weight and height with this BMR online calculator

How metabolism rate affects weight loss ?
By knowing our BMR, we can adjust our calories intake.
For eg if our BMR is 1500 calories meaning our body will burn 1,500 calories in normal activity  we can reduce calories intake by 300 calories and we could lose weight 0.5kg a week.
Or we can increase our BMR by building muscles through strength training.
Lean muscles burn more calories than fat.

Learning about your metabolism rate and the total number of calories we burn each day is a positive step in the process of reaching or maintaining a healthy weight. The more we know, the easier it is to make changes in our life that produce real results.

Plant protein sources build muscles and aid recovery as well, they can also improve our health and deliver a broader range of beneficial nutrients and much better for the environment. What is Whey Protein ? Whey is the liquid part of the milk that separates during the production of cheese.
