Indirect calorimetry is used to determine Resting Energy Expenditure (REE), i.e. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Breezing was validated by independent 3rd parties. Analytical validation studies conclude: 1. Total of subjects tested: 90+ with Gold Standard method and Breath-by-Breath reference metabolic cart. 2. The wearable device for VO2, VCO2, and Resting Energy Expenditure (EE) demonstrated between … Continued

Metabolism involves a set of chemical processes that are used to maintain our bodies. Without proper metabolism, we won’t be able to burn calories and risk becoming obese and developing insulin resistance. Although metabolism is considered to be one broad term that encompasses all sorts of chemical reactions, there are two types of it – … Continued

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommended “If indirect calorimetry is available, the RDN should use a measured resting metabolic rate (RMR) to determine energy needs in overweight or obese adults.” Eat Right: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics .     Energy Balance and Obesity Management “The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United … Continued

Metabolism matters. It changes with stress, ages, activity levels, diet, pregnancy, illness, medications, and other factors. Knowing metabolism can prevent the common “yo-yo patterns” of weight gain after weight loss, helps us find the most effective exercise/ training program, and provides a more complete picture. Tracking metabolism gives you the missing information needed to reach … Continued

Obesity has become a major health problem today. As much as 35% of the adult American population are obese, and it’s considered a chronic disease by health institutions like American Medical Association. One of the ways to deal with obesity is to improve metabolism. Having a faster metabolism means your body can digest and process food … Continued

Respiratory Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER, = respiratory quotient at resting condition) is the ratio between the metabolic production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the uptake of oxygen (O2). RQ Range and What It Means In people on a high protein diet, respiratory quotients are high because they metabolize more protein for energy than fat. At … Continued
