Metabolic Testing at G-Form Fitness
Finally, something NEW in the weight loss industry!
The MetaCheck from Korr Medical Technologies measures a person's resting metabolic
rate with a simple 10 minute breath test. The technology once reserved for hospitals
and universities is now available in a low cost, easy to use system! Testing metabolic
rates will determine exactly how many calories a person may eat and still lose or
maintain weight. No more charts, averages, or guessing. For the first time in years,
there is something truly new for the thousands of people who are trying to lose weight.
Metabolic Rate Measurements
Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is
also referred to as the “caloric burn rate”. Knowing metabolic rate is vital for weight
loss as well as for determining the proper feeding amounts needed to treat various
disease states.
Energy expenditure can be divided into three groups of calories.
1. Resting Calories – Calories that are burned while the body is at rest. These calories
are needed just to maintain life. The majority of all calories burned (about 70-80%)
are burned at the resting level.
2. Activity Calories – Calories that are burned because of normal daily activities are
“Activity Calories”. Normal daily activities such as walking, eating (digesting food),
typing, etc., are included in activity calories.
3. Exercise Calories – These calories are burned because of exercise.
The sum of all of these groups of calories is the total metabolic rate.
Energy Balance
The body gains or loses fat based on energy balance. Energy balance refers to the
relationship between energy intake (eating) and energy expenditure (metabolic rate).
The figures below describe the three states of energy balance.
1. Normal Energy Balance: Consumption and expenditure in balance, no weight gain or
loss.
2. Negative Energy Balance: Expenditure is greater than consumption (caloric deficit),
causes weight loss.
3. Positive Energy Balance: Consumption exceeds expenditure (caloric surplus),leading
to weight gain.
Things To Do To Boost Your Metabolic Rate
1. Build Muscle Mass Strength training builds lean muscle tissue, which burns more
calories at work or at rest, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The more lean muscle
you have, the faster your metabolism will be. How do you start strength training?
Try some push-ups, or a few squats or lunges. Use 5 lb. free-weights to perform
simple biceps curls or triceps pulls. Do these exercises three to four times per
week, and you'll soon see a boost in your metabolism as well as an improvement in
your physique.
2. Do Not Skip Meals or Drastically Reduce Your Caloric Intake. If your body senses that
food is in short supply, it will slow your metabolism to conserve energy. Over time,
the result is that when you do eat (even if you consume the same foods as always)
your body will be slower to use the calories as fuel, thus creating a backlog of
unwanted pounds. A good strategy is to cut your caloric intake by no more than 500
calories per day and never less than 1200 calories total each day. Once you
determine your goal for calorie consumption, divide those calories into 6 different
small meals/snacks through out the day.

3. Increase Movement in Daily Lifestyle The more you move, the more you burn! You
can actually make a significant addition to the number of calories you burn each day
by relatively minor changes in lifestyle. This can be as simple as taking the stairs
instead of the elevator; park a distance from the mall or office; window-shop with
you best friend rather than sit over coffee; walk the dog instead of just let him
out;do a little gardening or clean house while you talk on the phone. Making these
types of changes for just 20 minutes of your day will cause you to burn an
additional 100 calories per day or an additional pound per month. Making more of
these changes can help you burn as much as an additional 1,000 calories per day!
4. Go For an Evening Walk Although exercising any time is good for you, evening
activity may be particularly beneficial. Many people's metabolism slows down
toward the end of the day. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity before dinner
increases your metabolic rate and may keep it elevated for another two or three
hours. What that means for you: those dinner calories have less of a chance to take
up permanent residence on your hips!
5. Get Adequate Sleep As funny as it sounds, sleep deprivation may make you fat and
not just because you're susceptible to cases of the late-night munchies. According
to researchers at the University of Chicago, women who got less than four hours of
sleep per night had a slower metabolism than those who slept for a full eight hours.
