Metabolic Rate Testing
Using Body Gem®
This test will measure your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), which is the amount of calories your body needs to maintain your organs and muscle when completely at rest. Research has showed that many people's RMR may differ from the values many equations estimate their needs, which can be the difference in why they do not lose or gain weight at the predicted rate.
By relaxing and breathing into the device for no more than 10 minutes, you can get an accurate measurement of your RMR, which will better help determine your overall calorie needs.
There are special instructions to follow BEFORE having your RMR measured:
You cannot eat for at least 4 hours prior to the test. It is better if you can be completely fasted (8-12 hours).
You cannot exercise (any type) for at least 4 hours prior to the test. Again completely rested is preferable (8-12 hours).
You cannot consume caffeine for at least 3 hours prior to the test.
You cannot consume nutritional supplements or medications containing ephedra, MaHuang, or pseudoephedrine for at least 2 hours prior to the test.
You cannot consume nicotine for at least 2 hours prior to the test.
You must be resting for 10-15 minutes before the test is administered.
