MetaCheck A new test (a 15-minute breathalyzer test) that can measure your resting metabolic rate! This test is three-fold: 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!
