PURE AUSTIN METABOLIC TESTING

Metabolic Testing gives you the exact measurements you need to succeed!

Looking for a new diet?
You can find them everywhere... bookstores, infomercials, and any women's magazine at the grocery checkout. But with all the diet fads out there, over 90% of people who lose weight gain it all back.

The real key to weight loss is knowing precisely what YOUR body needs.

The only way to know just what your body needs is through Metabolic Testing. Metabolic Testing shows you just what is going on inside your body. You can finally unlock the mystery of your own metabolism! Metabolic Testing identifies your unique TARGET CALORIC ZONES so you can tip the scales to lose weight without depriving yourself.

Metabolic Testing measures what you burn...

RMR
Your resting metabolic rate. This is the number we measure that is unique to you. It is the number of calories you would burn if you sat in a chair all day long.

LIFESTYLE
Your RMR is used to calculate how much more you probably burn by the simple daily activities of walking, eating, driving, etc.

EXERCISE
RMR is used to calculate how many calories you would burn if you exercised moderately for 30 minutes.

Metabolic Testing then calculates how you should eat.

MAINTENANCE ZONE
This is the number of calories you need to eat to stay at your current weight. This is very important to have testing at the end of your weight loss program... we all know that keeping it off is the hardest part!

WEIGHT LOSS ZONE
Based on your RMR, this is the MAXIMUM amount of calories you can eat and still lose weight at about 1.5 lbs. a week. By truly feeding your body what it needs, you will fell calm and satisfied. This is not just another diet... it's learning to listen to your body tell you what it needs to succeed.

MEDICALLY SUPERVISED ZONE
Too few calories can cause you to lose muscle tissue, slow your metabolism, deprive you of vital nutrients, and cause you to regain lost weight very quickly. Only a physician can help you make dieting in this zone effective.

Preparing for the Test
It is most accurate to measure your metabolic rate at a true resting level. To ensure you are at rest, we recommend the following preparations:

  1. You should avoid eating a meal 1 hour before the test.
  2. Avoid exercising on the day of your test.
  3. If possible, avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine on the day of the test.

During the Breath Test
During the test you will be invited to recline in a comfortable position. You will be given a mouthpiece or a mask to breathe into. You will be breathing in air from the room, but the gas that you breathe out will go into the metabolic analyzer to measure your metabolic rate.

  1. Relax and close your eyes during the test. You deserve a break - enjoy it!
  2. Keep lips sealed lightly around the mouthpiece. It is important that all the air you breathe out is analyzed.
  3. In just 10 minutes, your metabolic rate will be measured, and those results will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. These Zones will be printed out in an easy to understand format that will outline for you just how to use your metabolism to help you lose weight.

After the Test
Once your Metabolic Test is completed, the information will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. With these Zones, you can learn what it means to "eat to your metabolism." You will be able to eat the maximum amount possible and still lose weight. Your body will be healthy, happy, and satisfied, and the pounds will melt off! And keeping the weight off is no longer a struggle, because this time you have listened to your body tell you what it needs to succeed.
