Metabolic Profiling-the Key To A Fitter, Healthier, Slimmer You.
Metabolic Profiling
The key to a fitter, healthier, slimmer you.
Many people spend hours grinding away at the gym, or follow one unsuccessful diet with another so why do so few of them achieve their goals?
Firstly being on an endless diet will not help you lose weight, no doubt in the first few weeks gains will be made but in most cases it becomes unsustainable particularly if you are on an extremely low calorie diet, 1000 calories a day is not enough to sustain basic life function, so the body goes into starvation mode and slows down the metabolism and holds on to stored body fat. For many dieters I would suggest that to lose weight you need to eat more!
Your resting metabolic rate; the number of calories used to maintain basic life function such as brain activity, heart & lung function, tissue growth and repair, internal organ function. To this you need to add your daily activity calories, then any additional exercise calories, this will give you your daily calorific requirement. To achieve sustainable weight loss you need to get a small deficit from this number, most dieticians and nutritionists recommend a deficit of no more than 500 calories a day.
But the big question, what is my RMR number? How many calories do I burn as I go about my daily business? And how many calories do I use when exercising?
For this a metabolic profiling assessment is the answer.
This two part assessment, RMR and exercise will give you daily requirement plus the calories you burn during exercise as well as being able to determine your optimal exercise heart rates for fitness improvements and weight loss.
You are hooked up with a Hannibal Lecter-style breathing mask to an analyser and software program that uses the same science used by sports performance laboratories around the world. Each part of the assessment takes about 10 minutes the first part which is very easy you are just relaxing in a chair this is followed by a progressive exercise test performed on a treadmill, bike, or cross trainer.
Once the information is gathered the software produces a 12 week exercise training program and those all important calorie numbers.
As well as not knowing the amount of calories you need to fuel up to achieve your goals few people know at what heart rate intensities they need to work at to be successful in improving fat burning capabilities, aerobic and fitness performance. The great thing after taking the test you will know for each heart rate exactly how many calories you burn and perhaps more importantly where those calories come from sugar or fat. You will be given the highest work rate where fat is the dominant fuel, after this point a greater amount will be coming from sugar, you will also find out at what heart rate you stop to burn fat and all the fuel comes from sugar! You will also learn your anaerobic threshold an important point with regards to improving our fitness.
Most people are aware that to adopt a healthy lifestyle will help in obtaining weight loss goals, as well as improving fitness, health and wellbeing, and that to do this we must be mindful of how we fuel the body and must take regular exercise, so many regimes start with all the best intentions only to fall by the wayside because of lack of results. You can diet but not eat enough and send your body into starvation mode, and you can pound out mile after mile on the treadmill and just be burning sugar, in other words you can guess how many calories you need and how hard you need to workout in the gym or the alternative is to find out exactly what you need to do by taking a metabolic assessment, I believe this is the key to a fitter, healthier, and slimmer you.
