New Year's Weight Loss Solutions for a New You!

As you know, the key to successful weight loss is to burn more calories than you eat. One of the most fundamental and difficult questions is, how many calories do I burn?  Well you don't have to guess anymore!

Many individuals burn much fewer or greater calories than predicted by charts or calculations.

A simple 12-minute noninvasive breathing test can measure your metabolic rate using the same method as used in leading research hospitals. This test will tell you exactly how many calories you burn at rest based on your direct chemical analysis.

It will also tell you if your metabolic rate is fast or slow, how many calories you need to consume to achieve weight loss goals or maintain present weight, and how much your diet has changed your metabolic rate.

Since metabolic rate changes during the course of any weight loss or exercise plan, repeat testing is a vital tool to monitoring performance. Many individuals “plateau” because their metabolic rate dropped as a result of poor diet practices. Other individuals increase their metabolic rate through weight lifting and exercise. Repeat measurements are a great way to measure exact results to reveal what kind of changes are happening inside your body.

Many individuals fail to lose weight on the standard plans because their metabolic rate is slower than normal. Metabolic rate testing will allow you to be successful even in difficult cases.  No more guess work, we know exactly what is happening with your metabolism.

Having your metabolism checked with the KORR CardioCoach is as easy as 1-2-3!

1…RELAX.  CardioCoach measures resting metabolic rate. It is important that you be able to reach a resting state during your test. You should avoid activities such as exercise or stressful situations that will prevent you from relaxing for at least two hours prior to your test. Digesting a large meal, as well as taking stimulants, such as caffeine, can raise your metabolic rate and should also be avoided prior to your test.

2…SIT.  Once you arrive, you will be able to sit comfortably while being tested.
The technician will then place a nose clip on your nose, and you will be given a

disposable mouthpiece to breathe through. This mouthpiece is connected to the CardioCoach by a hose that will measure how much oxygen you are breathing out. It is very important that you breathe only through the mouthpiece so this measurement will be correct. Both the mouthpiece and the tubing are sterile items that will be used only for you.

3…BREATHE.  Finally, you just sit back and breathe. The CardioCoach will indicate when it has calculated your metabolic rate. This takes approximately 12 minutes. The more relaxed and even your breathing, the quicker it will be able to determine your resting metabolic rate. It will then print out your results.

IT IS JUST THAT EASY!!  In just 10 minutes, you can know precisely how many calories your body burns. No more being compared to charts and averages, no more wondering why diets aren't working. The CardioCoach by KORR will take the guess work out of dieting and put YOU back in control!

CardioCoach FAQ

How does the CardioCoach measure metabolic rate?

• Your body consumes a fixed amount of oxygen per calorie burned. The CardioCoach measures the amount of oxygen in the air you exhale to calculate how much oxygen your body is consuming. Based on your oxygen consumption, the CardioCoach then figures the exact amount of calories you are burning.

Why should I have my resting metabolic rate tested?

• Everyone has a unique metabolic rate. Scientific studies show that even people with similar attributes like age, height, weight, and body composition can have very different metabolic rates. This means that if your metabolic rate is lower than average, you may gain weight even while dieting. Conversely, if your metabolic rate is higher than normal, you may never need to diet to lose weight. Metabolic testing reveals how many calories your body burns at rest, giving you the data you need to plan a weight loss, gain, or maintenance plan designed to succeed.

What are the steps of a metabolic rate test?

• The CardioCoach automatically calibrates itself, by measuring the exact amount of oxygen in the air in the room. Your body data (age, height, etc.) is entered into the CardioCoach. You breathe into a disposable mouthpiece to gauge your oxygen consumption. The CardioCoach determines when you reach your “resting” metabolic rate, and it prints a detailed report showing your results and what they mean for you.

What can I do to increase my metabolic rate?

• One of the greatest factors that determines your metabolic rate is genetics, which you obviously cannot change. But another factor is how much muscle (lean body mass) you have. People with more muscle tissue usually have higher metabolic rates. Adequate sleep, decreased stress, small frequent meals, adequate water consumption, and regular exercise also can increase your metabolic rate.

What is the difference between BMR and resting metabolic rate (RMR)?

• BMR stands for basal metabolic rate. That is the rate at which you burn calories while sleeping. Since it is not practical to test people while still in bed, CardioCoach determines resting metabolic rate (RMR). RMR is the amount of calories you would burn if you rested all day. To get an accurate measurement, it is important that you reach a true resting state during your test.

CardioCoach also calculates a total metabolic rate. Research has shown that for most people, daily activities such as walking, working, speaking, etc, increase their metabolic rate 25% to 35% above their RMR. CardioCoach will calculate this for you. This total metabolic rate does not consider the effects of exercise. The effects of exercise are included in the calculation of the time it takes to reach your goal weight.
