How will Metabolic Testing help me?
Your metabolism is the total number of calories burned each day. Metabolism is comprised of normal bodily functions and daily physical activity. Since metabolism is an essential component to weight management, it is an important for your health professional to assess your metabolism to establish your daily calorie goals.

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.

What does the Metabolic Testing provide?
The BodyGem® Metabolic Testing provides you with an accurate daily calorie goal. Regardless of what you eat, it is impossible to lose weight unless you eat fewer calories than you burn. With your measurements, you will have a personalized nutrition and physical activity plan that guides you in losing or maintaining weight.
