| Stop guessing if you have
a low or high metabolism. Measure your resting metabolic rate and
customize your weight management plan using your measured RMR. Most people understand metabolism as how slowly or quickly their bodies burn calories. Unfortunately, they don't understand how important knowledge of metabolism is for successful weight management. Being overweight contributes to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other preventable diseases. Losing weight isn't just about looking better - it's a health issue. Metabolism is the body's process of converting food into energy to keep the body running and fuel daily activities. Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns to maintain vital body functions such as heart rate, brain function and breathing. RMR accounts for a majority of the calories you burn each day. Knowledge of your individual RMR is the missing link to personalizing your weight management plan, and is critical to success. |

| RMR is influenced by a
number of factors, such as: body mass, body composition (the amount
of fat and muscle), age, gender, hormones and genetics. Muscle burns
more calories than fat; a person with a higher percentage of muscle
will have a higher RMR. In an example from a recent weight management study, subject 1 is a woman who weighs 158 pounds, a body fat percentage of 33%, and a measured RMR of 1571 calories per day. Subject 2 is a woman who also weighs 158 pounds, but has a body fat percentage of 48% and a measured RMR of 1252 calories per day. At the same weight, similar height, and same age, these women have very different RMR values due to differences in body composition. RMR declines naturally in adults at a rate of about 2% per decade; however, this decrease is primarily a result of muscle loss. Men normally have a higher metabolism than women, partly because they tend to have a higher percentage of muscle compared to women. Certain hormones can also increase or decrease metabolism. Additionally, the metabolic response to stress and injury influences RMR and necessitates measurement of VO2 rather than using formula-based estimates. Estimation equations do not take into account individual variability, pre-existing medical conditions, or the numerous other factors present that can affect RMR Weight management is really a matter of simple arithmetic - balancing the number of calories taken in against the number of calories out. If you know how many calories you're burning, you'll know how many calories you can eat to meet your goals. 
Burn more calories than you consume and you will lose weight.  Consume the same amount of calories that you burn and you will maintain your weight. 
Consume more calories than you burn and you will gain weight. |

| Start with realistic,
achievable goals. Don't expect to become "thin" overnight.
Experts agree that slow, steady weight loss is healthier than a quick
fix or remaining overweight. You should try to lose no more than a
couple of pounds per week. While this can be frustrating, slow and steady weight loss is the only way to avoid "yo-yo dieting," where you lose a great deal of weight, only to regain it within a few months or years. There are no miracles in weight loss; go for steady progress towards a healthier life.
