During a recent discussion about exercise and weight loss, I was asked whether cardio or weight training was “better” for losing weight. Once we got past “Pay attention to what you eat”, we discussed that most studies show basal metabolic…
1. PRECAUTIONS: Floor must be level. 2. CALIBRATE: Step on scale until displayed weight flashes twice. DISREGARD THIS VALUE. Step off scale. 3. COLLECT DATA: Step onto scale again until raw weight flashes twice.
PRECAUTIONS: Floor must be level. DO NOT STEP ONTO SCALE UNTIL ZERO APPEARS IN THE DISPLAY. CALIBRATE: Tap center of scale to turn it on. Wait for “00.0” or “0.0” to display. COLLECT DATA: Step onto scale. Stand on platform…
In earlier posts, we examined the biology behind weight management and learned a few important facts I think we should restate at this point before moving forward. Weight Loss: The result of a non-trivial negative Net Caloric Balance over a…
As we were discussing earlier, our target for weight loss is a negative net-caloric-balance. Although exercise surely can contribute, it only factors in for about 10% of weight management, so we focus our attention on dietary changes first. Which brings…
In this ongoing series, we are going to examine the science behind effective weight management, and in doing so, gain a better understanding of how our unique tools support you in meeting your goals. There are three branches of science…
