Losing Weight!

BMR (Basal metabolic rate) is the amount of energy utilized by humans during the day.

In order to lose healthy weight, you need to retain your muscle mass at the same time losing all that unwanted fat. This is possible if your metabolism rate is at optimal level most of the time during the day. Just ensure a few things listed below and you will surely witness the results!

1. Sleep Well: Sleep deprivation is the number one villain in disturbing your metabolic rate. Target at-least 7 hours of sound sleep.

2. Eat More but Small: Eating triggers your metabolic cycle. Ideally, one should have 6 to 7 meals per day. We have developed a lot of bad eating habits, eating big meals thrice a day is one of them! ...when your body knows its not going to get any food (fuel) for the next 6 hours or so in between meals, it automatically slows down the metabolic rate and does not readily convert food into energy but rather uses only the bear minimum required and stores the rest as fat, this is also the same reason why some people don't lost weight by dieting since all that they eat during their dieting is stored as fat for future energy requirements by the body and not readily utilized. Your eating timetable should look somewhat like this;
Breakfast @ 0800 hrs
Snack @ 1100 hrs
Lunch @ 1400 hrs
Snack @ 1700 hrs
Dinner @ 2000 hrs
Snack @ 2300 hrs

3. Drink a lot of Water: Water is the main constituent of human body with 75% which undoubtedly explains its importance. You should look for gulping down at-least 2 liters of water daily to keep your digestive system lubricated and your body hydrated.

4. Move, Move, Move: The level of activity throughout the day determines a great deal of your physical appearance and feel. 30 minutes of moderate exercise (Aerobics, Walk/Jog) at-least 3 times a week is considered regular, however, there's nothing like it if you can achieve it 6 days a week. This will not only keep you healthy but you will find yourself active, energetic and on the move!

Cheers!
Happy Losing!
