Quick! Take this one question quiz. Which is the correct answer (there is only one correct answer)

I’m overweight because:

a) I take medications that make me fat.

b) I have an underactive thyroid.

c) I have a medical condition.

d) because I eat too much.

(Spoiler: If you believe a, b, or c is the primary reason you are overweight, you are only fooling yourself.)

These don’t make you fat.

Everyone talks about BMR. But really, what is it? And why do I need to worry about it?

Just like many numbers in your life (social security number, phone number, blood pressure) your BMR is a vital measurement. In this case, it measures how many calories you would burn in 24 hours, even if you were comatose, in a hospital.

Why does that matter? If you ignore it, you will develop problems.

Eat the right foods, but also eat the right amount!
