Metabolic Testing - Champion Health

If a diet has you severely calorie restricting, cutting out entire food groups or you’re just forcing down that 10th salad you hate this week; it ain’t it. 👎

I’m a big believer in diets should be personalised, backed by science about *your* body and still take your individual tastes into account.

Might someone need to cut out gluten due to coeliac disease? Sure.
Might someone need to manage carbohydrates if they have Diabetes? Absolutely.
Should you be cutting things out without a medical/ethical/religious reason? Definitely not (unless you hate the taste!)

Break free of the diet culture, get a personalised plan, take the guesswork out of your goals!

Ok put down the pitchforks and let me clarify 😅

DEXA scans are a great way to measure body composition. InBody Scans (when all variables have been accounted for; time of day, fasted, rested, euhydration) can be a great way to see if your body composition is changing. Neither of these are good measures of your resting metabolic rate.

Why? Because that’s not what they’re measuring. The only way we expel calories is through our breath. The only way to measure this (outside a lab) is to measure rested breathing for a set period of time and use indirect calorimetry to calculate your resting metabolism.

Did I nerd out too much? 🤓 Probably. Let’s make this a little simpler. Anything that measures body composition is only going to be able to *estimate* your resting metabolism. We actually measure it. Our machine can’t tell you anything about your body composition, it’s not designed for that. It’s designed for the sole purpose of measuring your metabolism.

Take the guess work out of your goals. Book a scan.
