BodyGem Metabolism – RMR Test
Weight management success is just a simple measurement away…
Your metabolism – combined with your daily physical activity – determines how many calories your body burns each day.
You can easily and quickly learn your metabolic rate with a simple breathe test that takes 10 minutes or less. This is the same type of device that the medical adviser uses on The Biggest Loser.
Why would I want my metabolism measured?
A metabolic measurement will determine how many calories your body needs to meet your goals. Specifically, a BodyGem measurement will be right for you if you are:
- Trying to lose weight
- Trying to maintain weight (especially after a weight management program, diet, or other nutritional changes)
- Diagnoses with diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or other weight-related conditions
- Interested in improving overall health and fitness.
Why is my metabolism unique?
Many factors influence your metabolism, making it unique to0 you:
- Weight
- Age
- Body Composition (the ratio of muscle vs. fat)
- Hormone levels due to thyroid issues
- Prescription drugs can affect your metabolism
Two women can weigh exactly the same and be the same height, yet have very different daily calorie requirements. If they followed the same weight management plan, they would experience very different results.
How can I use my metabolic measurement?
It’s simple. A metabolic measurement gives you an accurate daily calorie target. Regardless of what you eat, it is impossible to lose weight unless you eat fewer calories than you burn.
With your measurement, you will know how much you can eat everyday and maintain or lose weight.
FACT: Consuming 300 calories a day beyond your requirements can result in a weight gain of 30 lbs a year.
Why do metabolism-based programs work?
An accurate daily calorie target provides the single best piece of information available to lose weight. It allows you to set an achievable goal to keep you motivated and focused.
Your metabolism determines how much you need to eat and exercise to reach your goals. You can customize any plan to be more effective when it is based on your body’s unique characteristics.
Your metabolism changes as you lose weight. Re-measurement during weight loss allows you to avoid weight loss plateaus by altering your nutrition and exercise plan to reflect changes in your body.
