Your body burns calories through a combination of your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physical activity. BMR defines how many calories your body burns at rest to maintain basic functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating. To create a calorie deficit, your body turns to stored energy [fat] to make up for the energy it needs but isn't getting from food. Over time, this can lead to weight loss.
Calorie-deficit diets may improve cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity, in addition to aiding weight loss.
