CHAPTER 1- THE COMPLETE ASSESSMENT TO YOUR WEIGHT LOSS PLAN
While general advice like diet and exercise can help many people who are trying to lose weight, this doesn't offer many details for the majority. You may have a specific medical condition that requires certain exercises or maybe need a special diet plan based on food allergies.
The basis of pre-diet assessments is to develop a weight-loss plan that works for your own body composition and other details about you as an individual. It goes over all the most important things, ranging from internal and external metrics, to your body fat and worrisome conditions. Here is some more information about the assessments used.
Internal and External Metrics
Some of the first assessments done to find out your current health when getting started on a weight-loss plan includes internal and external metrics. The external metrics are basics and include things like your current weight, height and measurements. Internal metrics include measuring your heart rate and blood pressure while you are resting or during certain physical activities.
Body Composition and BMI
Your body composition is measured by checking the fat tissue and lean tissues in your body. There are a variety of methods for determining these results. This testing also goes hand in hand with finding out your body mass index. Your body mass index (BMI) is a calculation of your height and weight combined, to find out if you are in the underweight, healthy weight, overweight, obesity or morbid obesity range. This is used to find out your current health status and find a good diet and weight-loss plan for you.
Flexibility, Mobility, Strength and Endurance
When your physician or weight-loss center advisor wants to start looking into details for your fitness plan, these assessments can help them accomplish it. The first test is to look at you anaerobic endurance level. This is going to look at what type of physical activities you are able to complete without using any oxygen. Finding out the strength of your muscles will help the weight loss center find out what type of muscular performance. Tests for flexibility and mobility of muscles are also needed for accurate assessments.
How the Assessments Are Used
These types of assessments are done because they help a weight-loss clinic advisor find out where you are physically. Just looking at you or taking your weight is not enough to find out where your strengths or weaknesses are. They help provide a realistic weight loss and fitness plan, one that incorporates the right diet plan that is easy to follow and gives you the right amount of nutrients, help you set weight loss goals, and provide short-term and long-term plans for managing your weight and getting healthy.
Choosing a Fitness Plan
One important thing to note about taking these types of tests, is that they are trying to find a fitness plan that works for you as an individual. It may not be exactly what you enjoy, but it is a good start. You still have the freedom to say if you like the workouts they propose or not. It is important every time you visit a doctor, fitness center or weight loss clinic that you are completely honest with the activities you enjoy and those you don't like as much. This can help you work with them in determining what the best fit is for you.
Diet and Fitness Tips
Here are some more diet and fitness tips to help you achieve your goals, after taking the right assessments:
Get the right nutrients - No matter what diet plan you follow, it should be healthy and give you all the necessary nutrients. If you are following a vegetarian diet that makes it hard to eat enough protein or dairy, get protein from other sources like soy, nuts, seeds or beans.
Don't overdo it - In the beginning of a weight loss plan, it is easy to get caught up on it and eat too little or work out too much because your goals are so close. Rushing the process is unhealthy and can actually cause you to plateau and make it even harder to lose the weight. Keep it steady and go slow, as this will get you a lot farther than sprinting toward the finish line.
Remember realistic goals - If you have a tendency to give up on diet and fitness plans because they get too hard, or you are missing your different goals, change up what goals you have. They should be realistic and aligned with what you are capable of. Saying you will wear a certain size by a certain date is a great sentiment, but it doesn't work out, you might feel like a failure. Instead of this, set smaller goals, like drinking more water, adding more vegetables to your diet, or small weight loss goals.
