The key is to have meal planning software that your assistant can provide patients in less than 3 minutes and also increases nutritional compliance substantially. Long term patient compliance will also increase when if you can provide healthy supermarket foods, and food combinations from local grocery stores based on patients, lean muscle metabolism, activity level and lifestyle. The initial body composition studies were performed at the University of Southern California, (USC) using the hydro-static under water weighing tank, which is considered the gold standard for accuracy in measuring body composition analysis. DEXA is now considered the gold standard and the accuracy of the Lifestyle Nutrition Metabolic analyzer is comparatively accurate. Lifestyle Nutrition’s Professional Metabolic and Body Composition Analyzer Electrodes are placed on the patient’s right hand and foot and a small current of electricity is sent through the body and the impedance is measured. Muscle is 70-75% water so electricity flows quickly with less impedance and fat is 3-13% water so electricity flows slowly.
