Have you been frustrated in the past losing weight?

You exercise, follow a certain number of calories or points, and nothing happens? Perhaps you need to have your metabolism checked.

It's quite easy to do, as long as someone has the machinery, and we do. We need oxygen to burn calories; with our indirect calorimeter, we measure the total amount of oxygen you consume in 10 minutes, and this then translates into how many calories you need at rest to stay steady state over 24 hours. In other words, we are measuring your metabolism.
You can then use this information to help guide your weight loss.

For example, about 8 months ago I saw a woman that was very frustrated because she hadn't lost anything.

She had seen a Nutritionist and was told to follow a 1500 calorie diet, and she brought me 4 weeks of food diaries showing that she had followed instructions, but had only lost 1 pound during that time.

According to the standard equations, her resting metabolic rate should have been 1600 calories/day.
Since she was also actively exercising, she should have been using well over 2000 calories a day and the nutritionists recommendation was sound.

However, when we measured her metabolism, it tuned out her resting metabolic rate was slower than predicted--almost 1000 calories/day... She therefore needed to be taking in much less calories than the 1600 recommendation.

After lowering her calories, and instructing her in ways to safely increase her metabolism, she has lost 18 pounds and is well on her way to her goal.
