RMR
is the number of calories your body burns to maintain vital body functions such as heart rate, brain function and breathing.
Knowledge of your RMR is the missing link to personalizing your weight management plan, and is critical to success.

take it slow and steady
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.
MV Nutrition follows the Eating Free program for weight management. It's a program that encourages eating more, not less. Eating Free means eating what you like, when you like, where you like. It’s an approach that frees you from guilt, emotional eating, boring meals and hunger pangs. And, it's a program that will teach you the truth about exercise. While it's great for health, it's not the key to weight loss. With Eating Free, you'll learn that, if you only have a few extra hours in the week, you'll be better off shopping and preparing the right foods and taking some time to de-stress than killing yourself to bust out an hour on the treadmill. Taking time to care for yourself, to eat and nourish your body; prioritize your health and diet; manage your work and stress load; relax and sleep, is the key to your health and weight.
