How is weight loss affected by someone's basal metabolic rate?

Weight loss: The higher your basal metabolic rate (BMR), the easier it is to lose weight. Unless you have a low thyroid, there is no medication or supplement that can raise your BMR. You can only raise it through exercise. Aerobic exercise raises the BMR during and for hours afterwards. Strength exercises raise it over the long run by increasing muscle mass (muscle burns more than fat)
