When it comes to weight loss,
there is NO such thing as one size fits all. Metabolic
Testing gives you the exact measurements you need to succeed!
These tests show you precisely how many calories you burn all day every
day.
The
Wellness
Center at
Windom
Area
Hospital now offers Metabolic
testing that is a simple, 10 minute breath test. Cost for
the test is $35 for
Wellness
Center members, and $45 for
non-members. The test may be covered by insurance,
depending on diagnosis. During the test, the air you
breathe out is analyzed to determine exactly how much oxygen your body
consumed. This is how your metabolic rate is measured.
It is desirable to measure your
metabolic rate at a true resting level. To ensure full
rest, we recommend the following preparation:
-
You should avoid eating a meal 4
hours before the test.
-
Avoid exercising on the day of
your test.
-
If possible, avoid the use of
stimulants, such as caffeine, on the day of your test.
Once the test is completed, your
metabolic rate will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones.
These Zones provide powerful information to help you lose weight.
Your Zones will show you how to eat the maximum amount of food and
still lose weight. Your body will be healthy, happy, and
satisfied!
