Michele Wilbur, Metabolic Testing

"Amazing. After not even a day of eating your food, there is a big difference in how I feel. I feel much better; lighter, more energetic, more optimistic, not slightly uncomfortable, not bogged down with this oppressive weight of fatigue, not groping for coffee, not wanting to go back to sleep. You seem to be working magic in that tiny, hot kitchen." - Rick F.

"Green Cuisine has been instrumental in helping me maintain a healthy diet. Before Michele, I would return from trips and be without the motivation or fresh ingredients to prepare a "real" meal. Now, each month I choose a set of menus and am assured that when I arrive home, I will have healthy and delicious meals at my fingertips." - Paula S.

"Thank you for the wonderful meals you cooked. Once again, my life has been made easier and we're enjoying your delicious and healthful food. Thank you, too, for your flexibility in catering to my husband's needs as he continues to recover from radiation. I am so grateful that we can have meals that work for both of us. I look forward to having more great food." - Alison V.

Metabolic Testing

How fast is your engine running?

Do you have a friend who is the same age and does the same activity as you, but you gain weight so much easier?

How many calories do you burn?

bodygem
I use the BodyGem from MicroLife USA, a scientifically proven way to measure your true metabolism. With the BodyGem, a simple breath test is performed which determines your body's exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This tells you your RMR, or Resting Metabolic Rate. The RMR is the amount of calories your body needs to perform basic life functions at rest, such as breathing. This is very important to know for basic weight management. Most health professionals estimate this number. We now have the technology to determine the actual number.

The RMR is used to calculate the amount of energy you burn each day. To best determine the total number of calories you need to eat every day, we determine your physical activity and then design a fitness and diet plan - how much more you need to exercise and how much less you need to eat -to help you achieve your weight-loss and fitness goals.

Most people understand metabolism as how slowly or quickly their bodies burn calories. Unfortunately, they don't understand how important knowledge of metabolism is for successful weight management.

Knowledge of your unique Metabolism is the missing link to personalizing your weight management plan and is critical to success.

Take this simple breath test to find out how fast YOUR engine is running.
