BodyComp-Plus Biometric System

The BodyComp-Plus Program™

The BodyComp-Plus Program™ is not a diet. It is a lifestyle change. This program teaches the basics of meal planning in a precise and easy way. Anyone can drop weight by cutting calories, but most people will lose muscle when doing so. The BodyComp-Plus Program™ is designed to maintain lean muscle while dropping body fat. There is a big difference between losing weight versus losing body fat. Lean muscle mass leads to an increase in metabolism; therefore, you will burn more calories while doing regular activities and when resting

Your muscles are made of protein and water. It is critical to monitor your daily protein intake to make sure that you are not losing muscle while dieting. The biggest mistake that people make during dieting is to eat only one or two times a day. This method of eating will most likely lead to loss of muscle mass and a slower metabolism.

This program is designed to educate you in ways to increase metabolism while losing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass. Most people think that as long as the scale numbers are going down that they are doing well. Scale numbers may be misleading. For example, a person who weighs 230 pounds with a body fat of 25% can lose 30 pounds and still be at 25% body fat. How does that happen? The answer is that they lost 30 pounds of muscle and NOT body fat.

The Phoenix One BodyComp-Plus Program™ bases your total calorie and nutrient intake on your body composition. The more muscle a person has, the more calories they can eat. Remember that your body fat does not need extra calories, but your muscles do. Simply put, the more lean muscle a person has more calories it takes to feed those muscles without those calories being stored as fat.

Calories are not all created equal. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fat will be used differently as your body breaks them down. Carbohydrates are the first thing that your body uses as energy, especially during low-level activity. Fats are the next source of energy used by your body. Proteins are the last thing that your body will convert for energy unless you skip meals. Skipping meals leads to your body converting protein “muscle” stores into energy causing a loss of valuable lean muscle mass while gaining body fat. It is necessary to eat the proper nutrients spread throughout the day in five to six (5-6) small portions to halt the process of using proteins for energy. Frequent meals will ensure that your proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are used for their intended purpose while keeping energy levels from hitting rock bottom, which can often lead to binge eating. By maintaining proper protein intake, eating low glycemic carbohydrates, reducing saturated fats, and exercising, you will achieve your goal of a healthier lifestyle.
