I am fat enough to seek the help of a doctor. The doctor said that my basal metabolism is abnormal, leading to excessive obesity. What is basal metabolism?

    "Basic metabolism" is the energy consumed by a person's breathing, heartbeat, sobriety and body temperature. Different people often have great differences. The high basal metabolism can reach 1600 kcal per day, the low one is only 1200 kcal, a difference of 400 kcal. The card means that if both sit for a whole day, the former consumes the equivalent of running (fast running) one hour more than the latter. Obviously, the former is not easy to gain weight, while the latter is easy to gain weight.
