Body Composition Analysis
The Lifelong Metabolic Center program uses body composition analysis to help determine your goals. We look at the healthy range for many different metrics, such as:
- Weight
- Body fat
- Muscle mass
Once we see where you measure up when compared to healthy metrics, we can determine which program is best for you.
These programs can be done from anywhere in the country, so Dr. Borre will teach you how to track these metrics from the comfort of your own home.
The Importance of Body Composition Analysis
Body composition analysis is the information we are able to glean from a highly specific scale (i.e., weight, body fat, muscle mass, etc.).
It is important not only to look at your weight; we also want to see how much of your body is composed of fat versus muscle mass or water. In the first 3 phases of the Lifelong Metabolic Program, we focus on getting your weight to a healthy number. After that, we’ll focus on the composition of your body and making you the healthiest you can be.
Body composition analysis is important in helping us develop a personalized weight loss program. It shows us where you are, where you should be, and the results along the way. We can use this information to speed up or slow down your weight loss at a safe and effective rate.
What The Process Entails
After a consultation via phone or Facetime with Dr. Borre, if the program is determined to be right for you, the complete kit will be shipped directly to your door. The recommended scale will show us important body composition analysis metrics like your body fat, muscle mass, and weight. Each of these is used at a different point during our phases of weight loss. We want you to be at a healthy weight and also tightened, toned, and firm as possible.
Understanding Your Analysis
Body composition analysis information can be used to determine your current body metrics, set reasonable goals in each category, and also help track your progress.
Once we know which numbers fall outside of the healthy range, we can focus on those and try to improve them before your next visit.
When tracking from home, we will use the body fat, muscle mass, and weight data to identify where and when to make any changes to the plan. Home measurement charts and information about tracking those metrics will be provided.
How We Apply The Data
Once we have your data and compare it to a healthy range, we’ll determine which of our programs is best for you.
Patents with a BMI under 30 are typically recommended our 6-month program while those with a BMI over 30 are recommended our 1-year program.
The body composition analysis is one of the tools we utilize to determine which plan is the right plan for you to get the weight off and keep it off for life.
