Metabolism Measurement

Are you struggling with losing weight? Are you puzzled at how you can eat very small amounts of food and still not lose weight? Maybe you are not taking in enough calories to lose weight!

Many people, usually in the desperate attempt to lose weight, starve themselves or restrict calories too much, slowing down their metabolism. This is not what you want to do when you are trying to lose weight. A person's resting metabolic rate is the number of calories burned when the body is at rest.

How We Measure?

At Dayani,  our registered dietitian, Deanna Dillon, R.D., C.D.E., measures your resting metabolic rate with a MedGem device. This device is the size of an asthma inhaler and the test is simple and takes approximately 10 minutes! The MedGem device is comparable to the metabolic cart, which is the gold standard in metabolism measurement.

Fees

  • MedGem resting metabolism test      $50.00
