To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest every 24 hours. To lose your excess pounds with ShapeWorks™, you need to increase your RMR and decrease your calorie intake. Here’s how:
1. Cut back on calories:
Eat 500 calories less than your RMR daily and you will lose one pound of excess weight per week.
2. Exercise:
Burn several hundred extra calories a day with your favorite activity to lose weight faster.
3. Weight Training:
Increase your muscle mass with weight training and you’ll boost your metabolic rate, to burn even more calories daily. For each 10 pounds of muscle you gain, your RMR will increase by 140.
