    In order to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume on a daily basis. This creates a negative caloric balance. The number of calories you burn depends on your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and your active metabolic rate (AMR). Many factors influence the BMR: some of these can be controlled and some can not.
