Body Composition Analysis
Jill Dobson Nutrition Consulting uses bioelectric impedance to measure % body fat.  This is a non-invasive, FDA approved portable device that measures % fat, % muscle and body mass index. The test takes approximately 3 minutes per person.

METABOLIC TESTING MedGEM® Technology
Metabolism is very different for all individuals.  Metabolism can change with alterations in your exercise regime, body composition and general body stressors.  When you follow a very low-calorie diet you slow down your metabolism and your body starts to work against itself.  Your body needs a certain amount of calories to perform its basic daily functions.  Knowing your Resting Metabolic Rate RMR (representing the calories burned at rest) will enable you to start a plan that is designed specifically for you.   Regardless of what you eat, you cannot sustain weight loss if you eat less than you burn.  If you do not allow yourself enough calories you will start losing lean body tissue which will only decrease your metabolism and make losing weight that much harder.    

Indirect Calorimetry, MedGEM® Technology will provide you with you YOUR number- the key to weight loss in just 10 minutes.

How to prepare for your MedGEM® test
Come to your metabolic test session without having exercised or eaten in the 8 hours prior to the test. No stimulants, artificial sweeteners or caffeine, 8 hours prior to the test. Water is OK to drink. I suggest bringing a snack to have after the test. The test itself takes about 10 minutes.

Weight Loss Coaching
Our philosophy of practice…. weight loss can only be achieved and maintained through freeing the deprivation (dieting) frame of mind and getting back to the basics of trusting yourself and your food. This process includes eating with an increased awareness and appreciation of the foods you eat. Learning to recognize when you are truly physiologically hungry or becoming full can be a powerful first step towards losing weight and feeling better. Often this very ability is weakened overtime with chronic dieting. We will work together to rediscover those feelings with no prohibited or forbidden foods.

Emotional eating

Emotional eating can also be a major factor in what and why we eat. Food can have both a physiological response as well as a psychological association. Food often nurtures us when we are alone and can be the center of our social and family universe. During our sessions we will come up with concrete strategies to identify stressors or triggers for emotional eating.

Your nutrition sessions will address your history with diets, emotional eating and create a plan that you can live with and maintain healthy behaviors for a lifetime.
