Nutrition Dr. Portera's approach to weight loss is supported by very straight forward science. In addition to the nutritional physical and blood chemistry analysis that he incorporates into all of his programs, Dr. Portera utilizes the Bodygem indirect calorimeter which is a clinically-validated measurement device that assesses resting metabolic rate (RMR). Using this machine, Dr. Portera knows exactly how many calories that an individual burns while at rest. With this knowledge he can develop a nutritional plan that is calorically specific to an individual’s metabolism. Once a customized nutritional plan has been designed, Dr. Portera introduces the client to our customized online meal planning system. With this incredible coaching tool, clients enter all of the food that they ingest daily and our staff then monitors program adherence. Our meal planning system is able to analyze on a daily basis whether the client is getting the proper balance of macronutrients as well as the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals. + click here to visit our online meal planning program
