Imagine trying to balance your checkbook without tracking your deposits and withdrawals. Impossible, right? The same situation applies for changing body weight without first knowing your RMR - you have no idea how many calories you should eat and how many calories you should burn if you don't know how many calories your body needs. That's where an accurate measurement and monitoring of metabolism by the BodyGem™ calorimeter can help. It is also very important to continue to get readings every week or two until you get to your desired results. As you lose weight, change your composition and become fitter, your metabolism will change as well. It takes fewer calories to move around a smaller mass unless that same mass has more lean mass than before. Adding a few pounds of muscle could very well increase your RMR. If you don't appropriately adjust your caloric intake when your RMR changes, results will be hard to come by long-term. The BodyGem™ by HealtheTech is a handheld device that measures resting metabolic rate (RMR), the number of calories your body burns each day at rest. BodyGem™ helps wellness advisors understand their clients’ unique metabolisms and develop personalized weight management programs.
How does it work exactly? The BodyGem™ uses sensor technology to measure oxygen consumption, barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity and volume of air.
