The metabolism’s work of turning food into energy and then using that energy to operate the body and to bounce back from everyday wear and tear is quite a process. Through our choices and actions, we can make that process more efficient or less so.
First, the process: After we’ve eaten, the body uses oxygen to convert food into energy. The nutrients providing that energy are either used to fuel the body, or they’re stored as fat. The byproduct, or waste, from converting food into energy is carbon dioxide. Here’s how the body uses each of the main nutrients from the foods we eat:
Carbohydrates are generally the body’s main source of energy. Carbs are broken down into sugars and stored in muscle cells as glycogen. The body can only store so many carbs, which have 4 calories per gram.
Proteins are used to build and maintain body tissues and are rarely used as energy. Like carbs, only so much protein can be stored. Protein also has 4 calories per gram.
Fat is the most energy-dense of the nutrients at 9 calories per gram, making it the most efficient source of fuel. Fat is also a long-term fuel reserve that guards against starvation. Sounds good, so what gives fat its bad rap? The body has a seemingly unlimited capacity to store it. And it’s not only fat that makes us fat: When the body is maxed out on other nutrients, especially carbs, those get stored as fat, too.
Which brings us to efficiency, using a car engine metaphor: A car that’s throwing off a lot of exhaust is wasting its fuel and getting terrible gas mileage. It may chug along and need frequent repair, and that can waste a lot of time and money. That’s a fairly reasonable sketch of what happens to our bodies, too.
Through proper diet, good lifestyle habits, and healthy exercise, we can teach the body to burn fuel with greater efficiency. At its most efficient, the body uses greater amounts of oxygen to convert more of our food into usable fuel (a bonus: the fat burns first!). Less carbon dioxide is produced as waste, and less of our fuel ends up stored as fat (double bonus!!).
Assessing your metabolism puts the info you need for healthy exercise and optimal nutrition right at your fingertips.
The bottom-line relevance of understanding your metabolism is this: Your metabolism is the most powerful tool you have for smartly and effectively training your body to achieve your health and fitness goals in the timeliest way possible.
Our metabolic assessment can help you chart the fastest course to success. You’ve heard the advice to “work smarter, not harder” time and again. With a metabolic assessment, you’ll finally have a tool that makes that advice meaningful. A training program based on your metabolic assessment and personalized to meet your body’s precise needs will help you spend less time in the gym—and more time enjoying a healthier lifestyle.
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
Our metabolic assessment is a simple, two-step process. First, there’s the easiest assessment you’ll ever take. It involves wearing a comfortable mask while sitting in a chair and breathing. That’s it. Next, there’s a little exercising to be done, but that doesn’t take long. Then, the science goes to work for you. For your very little effort, you get a lot of detailed, personalized feedback about your caloric needs, your current level of fitness, and a sense of what you need to do next in order to move toward your health, fitness, or performance goal.
A metabolic assessment measures several things:
The amount of calories your body needs to function, including everything from regulating your body’s hormones to thinking the thoughts that run through your mind.
The amount of calories you need to consume each day to achieve your fitness goal, whether that’s weight loss goal or greater athletic performance.
The point, known as your aerobic base heart rate, is the highest intensity at which your body still uses fat as it's dominant fuel
The highest sustainable intensity of exercise, known as your threshold, that your body can sustain and still burn fat efficiently
The rate at which your body absorbs oxygen, which your body requires to burn fat.
All that information comes from measuring your heart rate and from evaluating the level of oxygen in your breath. Those measurements are taken at various levels of activity, from a point of complete rest to a point just shy of your highest normal physical activity level.
This information will help you chart a speedy path to redefining your fitness. The nutrition part of the assessment will help you develop a dietary plan that you can follow for the rest of your life, and a personal daily workout plan ends the guesswork about how often and how intensely to workout. Just follow the plan, and you’ll get results.
