How To Lose Weight Without Exercising

In the previous post "How to Lose Weight Without Working Out," I discussed how to find and use your ideal calculator for calculating your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Consumption). This is the number you need to figure your RMR from. In short, your RMR is what determines how much energy you need to maintain your body at rest. And here is how to calculate it:

Your RMR is determined by four considerations: basal metabolic rate, current metabolic rate, resting metabolic rate, and the amount of calories you burn in a typical exercise routine. OK, now we need to take these factors into account in order to get our calculator correct. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is your core body fat percentage, should be between 9 and 13 percent. Your current BMR, which is how many calories you consume during a normal day, should be between five and seven percent. And your resting BMR, which is how many calories you expend when you are resting, should be between two and four percent.

To get this right, you must multiply your BMR by the number of calories you burn in a typical exercise session. Then divide that number by your age. This gives you your TEE (time to exercise) number.

That's important. Using your calculator to calculate how to lose weight without exercising will only work if you use accurate information. Most people who use their calculators tend to under-estimate their BMR and over-estimate their RMR. This can lead to under-than optimal dieting and exercise, which are completely counterproductive.

A better way to find out how much food and how much exercise you need to burn off pounds is to use the Weight Watchers Points system. This calculator not only gives you an idea of how many points you need to eat each day, but it will also tell you how many points you can expect to earn on any given day. For instance, if you weigh two hundred pounds, you can expect to earn fifty points per day. That's about how many calories your body needs to burn for you to lose weight. You can also learn how many points you are going to earn based on your activity level, such as how many stairs you can climb, how long you can stand on one leg before fatigue starts to affect you, and so on.

Once you know how many points you are going to earn for how long you are going to be exercising, you can figure out how many pounds you will need to lose. In order to do this, you need to know how many calories you are burning through your exercise routine. Again, the Weight Watchers calculator can help you determine how many calories you are burning in a typical exercise session.

One last way you can figure out how to lose weight without exercising is by learning how many pounds you can expect to drop during a week. This is determined by your age and weight. Again, the Weight Watchers Points system can help you determine how many points you will earn for how many pounds you lose during a week. Once you have figured this out, you will be ready to start setting goals and burning off those calories.
