How Does Weight Loss Work?
To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest every 24 hours. To lose your excess pounds with ShapeWorks™, you need to increase your RMR and decrease your calorie intake. Here’s how:
