If someone has a food allergy…we are not able to guarantee it (just like with peanuts for example) as our suppliers could change ingredients without notifying us. Just like with other items it’s important to find out if it’s an actual allergy. If they are sensitive to it, or are simply trying to avoid it…this should not be a problem for them.
We do not use any artificial sweeteners such as aspartame in our food - We use all natural sweeteners such as organic blue agave, honey, or juice instead.
We use Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese which is 33% lower in fat
Measure your Daily Calorie needs with MetaCheck:
A new test (a 15-minute breathalyzer test) that can measure your resting metabolic rate!
This test is three-fold:
First it measures your “resting metabolic rate” - exactly how many calories you require each day to maintain your normal body functions (brain, cardio-pulmonary, kidney functions etc). How many calories would you need to maintain these bodily functions if you were to lie in bed all day? Then it then calculates your caloric requirements for your personal “activities of daily living”. How many calories do you need to fuel yourself for work, errands, children, daily life?
Lastly, it measures how many calories you burn during an hour of moderate exercise.
Understanding your personal caloric needs (these three components) is the key to successful weight loss, maintenance or gain of lean body mass. Metabolisms vary significantly from person to person and this machine allows for a state-of-the-art assessment that is equivalent to what you would receive in a hospital setting. With this individualized information, I can tailor a food/nutrient/caloric plan that is right for you and your body to achieve your goal and enhance your natural metabolism. If you are not feeding yourself correctly, you actually could be fooling your body into slowing it’s metabolism to survive! If you have already had your metabolic rate tested and have been on a diet for 6-8 weeks it is essential to re-test it in order to assure that your metabolism is not dropping significantly. This metabolic test is also an excellent way to monitor how your training is affecting your metabolic rate and how to adjust your training to meet your personal goals. As you build lean muscle, your will increase your metabolism. It takes more energy (calories) to maintain muscle than to maintain fat, so through strength-training, you will increase lean muscle, thereby increase your metabolism and you will burn more calories throughout the day resulting additional fat loss!
