Metabolic Bio Evaluation
Introduction
- More robust health and energy
- Weight control
- Freedom from hunger and cravings between meals
- Long term benefits which may include the prevention and/or reversing of disease
- Moving your weight towards your ideal weight - (lose weight if you are overweight and put on weight if you are underweight)
- Experiencing an increase in strength and stamina
- Knowing which vitamins and minerals are needed to balance your body chemistry and which will make you more unbalanced.
- Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) – the “master regulator” of metabolism
- Oxidative System – rate at which nutrients are converted to energy within the cells
- Catabolic/Anabolic – aerobic / anaerobic metabolism, tissue pH, selective membrane permeability
- Acid / Alkaline Balance – 6 different kinds of pH imbalances
- Endocrine Type – determines body type, shape, weight gain, etc.
- Constitutional Type – from AyurVeda and Chinese medicine, concerned constitutional qualities of foods relative to constitutional qualities of individual
- Blood Type – food lectins specific to ABO blood types
- The blood type has more to do with what few foods should be left out of your diet due to their lectin content specific to your blood type. But blood type has little to do with what foods and nutrients should be eaten. For that, we need to consider the body's primary mechanisms that specifically regulate how energy is created, maintained and controlled, such as the ANS, Oxidative System and Catabolic/Anabolic processes. And whereas the blood type is static, non-changing, the different balances, strengths and weaknesses in the other fundamental control mechanisms can and do change.
First Steps
Determine Ideal Weight

Determine Body Fat
Body fat measurements and the measuring tape are recognized as superior methods for measuring "weight loss". When one declares that they want to "lose weight", what they often mean is that they want to lose fat.

Determine BMI
In 1998, the U.S. federal government announced guidelines that created a new definition of a healthy weight called the Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI for men or women of 24 or less is considered a healthy weight. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and a BMI range of 30 or more is considered obese.
One way to determine your BMI is by taking your weight in kilograms/ lbs and dividing it by the square of your height in meters/ inches. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the best ways to tell if you are overweight and to track your weight loss progress. It is far more accurate than watching your weight change and comparing it to the older ideal weight tables.
In the Performance Diet Software sold by HealthSmart Nutrition, it is even more accurate than the measurement method of determining your body fat percentage. It is not more accurate than hydrostatic or electrostatic body fat percentage testing.

BMI and Health Risks:
High blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease are all linked to being overweight. A BMI of 26 to 27 carries moderate health risks and means you are about 20% overweight. As the BMI rises, the risk of developing additional health problems increases as well. According to some estimates, a BMI of 30 and over increases the risk of death from any cause by 50 to 150%. If you are into the BMI range of 25 to 34.9 and have a waist size of over 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men, you are considered to be at especially high risk for health problems.
