Burning Calories

Burning Calories. Lose weight by burning calories.

Much is made concerning burning calories. We thought we would look into just what it takes to burn calories. In order to understand how your body burns calories, you need to think of your body as an engine. All engines require fuel to operate and your body is no different. The fuel your body uses is food.

Technically, a calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree centigrade. For food calories, this means that when a food is oxidized in the body's tissues, it releases 1,000 times that amount of energy to be used by the body.

Your body is comprised of millions of living cells, each of which operates as a small engine itself. These cells also require fuel to keep functioning, and again, this fuel is food. Through a series of chemical processes, your body converts food into the energy, or fuel, it needs to operate efficiently.

The rate at which your body uses up energy is called the metabolic rate. This rate doesn't stay the same, but rather changes throughout the day based on your level of activity.

Your body at rest can be measure by your basal metabolism rate, also called BMR. This is a measurement of your resting body in a totally relaxed mode. The best time to measure your basal metabolism rate is first thing in the morning when you first wake up and are relaxed in your bed.

Here are some key points for people on the weight loss path: if you can increase your BMR, you will greatly increase the amount of calories you burn, even when resting. The most proven and effective method of increasing your BMR is the introduction of exercise into your life. Exercise makes burning calories a snap! ------
