You either want to lose the weight or you don’t. Let’s get on with it. This is an easy, highly effective weight loss diet. In this article, I’m going to give you only one step in this process. There are five more steps…So, are you ready for the first step? Let’s get started:

The first thing you need to do is determine what your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is. The BMR is simply a calculated method of determining how many calories you would burn in the unrealistic (for most folks) situation that you did absolutely nothing all day long except sat on your couch without even bothering to move to retrieve water, go to the bathroom or anything else. If you were to just sit in one place for 24 solid hours, without moving. This will be your BMR. You can find an online BMR calculator page simply by doing a search for “BMR Calculator”.

Now, after you calculate your BMR, we’ll then determine the precise amount of calorie intake it will take for you to sustain the exact weight that your at right now. Why would we want to do that?

Because once we know what kind of caloric intake it would take to maintain your weight, while you do absolutely nothing, we can then figure out how much of a reduction in calories it will take (again, with you doing nothing) for you to lose weight effectively.

The first thing you should do is take your BMR and subtract 15% and 20% respectively.

Here’s how: Take your BMR number, let’s say, as an example, it’s 2010. You multiply 2010 x 0.15. Use your calculator.

Ok, the figure you should get is 301.5. Just round it off to 302. Next, subtract 302 from 2010. 2010 – 302 = 1708. That represents a 15% decrease in the BMR. Now, let’s do the same thing again to get a 20% decrease. 2010 x 0.20 = 402. Subtract 402 from 2010 = 1608.

Ok, here’s the easy part. Just plan your daily calorie input (how much food you’ll eat) to be between 1608 calories and 1708 calories.

If you do this one very simple thing, I guarantee that you will lose weight!!

Not difficult. Quite a few people will not even get this far. Here’s the thing. If you’ll just move a little, it will work even better and the weight will come off much faster.

You notice I did not say the “E” word (exercise)? You don’t have to exercise if you do nothing else but stick to this reduction in calories. BUT, if you really, really want to take it off fast, you need to do “some” exercise AND stick with this 15% – 20% plan.

You’ll still be getting plenty of caloric input but you’ll be burning it faster than you’re taking it in. Make sense? It should. Now, go get the other five steps.
