"Do You Know How Much You Are Suppose To Eat? Discover Your Basal Metabolic Rate!"
By: Randall Gartman

I am going to provide you with a formula that I believe the fitness and nutrition industry doesn't want you to know. It's important for you to know that you can get fat by undereating, almost as much as you can by overeating.

Now I will be honest, in the beginning, a starvation diet will most certainly help you lose weight faster than overeating. But let me define how weight loss occurs under a starvation diet.

  • Water and electorlytes are lost first
  • Muscle and and Proteins are lost next.
  • Finally, body fat is lossed but it is generally the last thing to leave your body, just before you die.

Here are some major reasons undereating causes weight gain - »

If you continue starving yourself, your body begins to break down muscle tissue for fuel. When protein is broken down, it releases nitrogen and your body will quickly wash away the nitrogen by releasing water from tissue cells, causing an immediate reduction in water weight and a noticeable drop on the scale. However, when you lose water weight it will be quickly regained as soon as you have something to drink, and the missing muscle shuts drastically reduces the efficiency of your metabolism.

You see, muscle is a metabolically active tissue and it requires a certain number of calories each day to maintain itself. If you have more muscle you can burn considerably more calories just sitting around. When you start to lose muscle, you don't need as many calories to function.

For example, suppose you lose 10 pounds of muscle (along with maybe 20 lbs. of fat) on a strict diet. Each pound of muscle had been burning 35 calories a day just sitting there so those 10 pounds of muscle had been burning 350 calories a day. With this muscle tissue gone, you now must consume 350 fewer calories a day in order to maintain that weight-loss.

--That's how you create a never-ending yo-yo cycle.

To insure you get the correct number calories for your body type and activity level, you need to determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

» Estimating Daily BMR for Men 66+(6.22 x body weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age) = Daily Calories

» Estimating Daily BMR or Women 665+(4.36 x body weight in pounds) + (4.32 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age) = Daily Calories

When you get your calculation, that is how many calories it takes to sustain your body at rest.

Now, take your BMR and add your daily activity by using the following equation.

BMR x Activity Level = New BMR

  • 1.2 Very Low Activity
  • 1.4 Low Activity
  • 1.6 Moderate Activity
  • 1.8 Active
  • 2.1 Very Active

The end result is your new caloric requirement. If you would like to lose weight safely, all you need to do is either restrict your calories by taking in a little less food or by burning more calories through additional activities; or better yet, equally reduce your calories by doing both. However, never go too far below the adjusted BMR number because you will fall back into the same yo-yo rut.

Granted, you will still need to make good food choices but this portion of the TipTow has been about quantity, not quality.

I hope you enjoyed this TipTow For Health eZine.

Remember; you are measured by the foot; with each step you take you are one foot closer to success.

BIG INDUSTRY WHOPPER!
By Randall Gartman

Only people that are willing to drink protein shakes and nasty tasting meal replacements will lose weight.

This fitness whopper is costing countless people their health and their bank accounts are dwindling. With all the advertising about supplements and protein drinks, the average person picking up a health magazine today almost becomes convinced they can't get healthy or lose weight without expensive supplements or snake oil potions.

The fact is, these protein drinks and health products all carry calories and if you go over your limit for the day, the extra calories will be stored as fat, regardless if the calories are derived from protein.

Remember, permanent weight loss is achieved when you combine a well balanced nutrition plan with a moderate exercise program.

I will give you some more whoppers next week!
