Many people have this kind of confusion: why does the weight not lose even if they eat very little and still insist on exercising? I feel very depressed every day, and even want to give up losing weight. In fact, it may have something to do with your low basal metabolic rate.
What is basal metabolic rate? Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimum amount of energy we need to sustain life at rest. It is influenced by genetics, age, gender, weight, muscle mass, and other factors.
So, how should we increase our basal metabolic rate? Today, I will share with you five effective methods, the last of which is very important, I hope you can like it.
First, maintain adequate water intake: drink enough 2000ml of water every day, but don't drink water after 9pm. Water not only helps flush out toxins from the body, but also boosts metabolism, increases satiety, and reduces appetite.
Second, eat breakfast: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it can help you start the day and increase your basal metabolic rate. Don't skip breakfast, as this will severely reduce your basal metabolic rate.
Third, drink a cup of black coffee: After waking up in the morning, drinking a cup of black coffee can help you refresh yourself while also helping to increase your basal metabolic rate. The caffeine in coffee stimulates the central nervous system and promotes the breakdown of fats.
Fourth, maintain a regular sleep schedule: Going to bed early and waking up early can help adjust your body clock and increase your basal metabolic rate. Don't stay up late and get a good night's sleep.
Fifth, properly control hunger: When it comes to meals, you can replenish food appropriately, but don't be overly hungry. If hunger pangs are too intense, your basal metabolic rate will also drop.
