The Basal Metabolic Rate

The Basal Metabolic Rate is a measure of the amount of energy your body requires (at rest) to constantly maintain normal body functioning. The BMR is usually measured in Calories, and it is useful as a guide to benchmarking dietary requirements in weight loss programs.

Excessive or especially harsh dieting programs may lower a person's BMR - as the body reacts to a lack of food by trying to conserve energy. This will make it harder for an individual to lose weight safely in future weight loss programs.
