Met One^™

HIGH PERFORMANCE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

March 31st–June 15th

Impressive Winter 2008 Results*:

Percentage of participants losing body fat (15 participants) = 100%
Average weekly body fast loss per participant = 1.2 pounds
Maximum weekly body fat loss by participant = 3.1 pounds
Big gains in cardiovascular fitness and strength

*Based upon data for first 5 weeks for our 15 program participants.

The Met One program aims to deliver steady weight loss, driven by elevated activity levels and sound nutrition. Weight loss in the program is mostly body fat. In addition to substantial improvement in body fat, participants are seeing reduced blood pressure, improved cholesterol and blood glucose levels, increased strength, increased endurance, and improved energy levels throughout the day. Some participants have reduced or eliminated their medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or diabetes.

An outstanding team of trainers, nutritionists and behavioral counselors
An impressive, progressive training regimen
Nutrition and behavioral group sessions, nutrition one-on-ones, and food journal reviews
A fun and friendly team environment

Periodic measurements and progress reports
Cost-effective pricing ($20/hour) with payment plan option

A Unique, Intelligent Approach to Weight Loss, Health and Fitness
The Met One™ program delivers results through a balance of sharply elevated activity levels, sound nutrition and behavioral support. Met One is challenging, educational and transformational. It is designed for individuals who are ready to take positive, aggressive action.

Now is the Time
Many individuals are interested in a serious approach to managing their weight. Few are willing to invest the time. This is a curious phenomenon when you consider:

Each day an individual lives with surplus weight and related conditions puts additional wear and tear on his/her body. The longer an individual waits to take action, the greater the cumulative effect.
Individuals who take the time to get fit now are likely to lead longer and healthier lives.
Individuals who exercise regularly and pay attention to their diets feel better and are more alert throughout the day.

There is never a convenient time to start. If you invest the time now, you will be paid back many times over.

Relevant Research

Compelling evidence exists, according to Harvard Medical School professor JoAnn Manson, that regular exercise and a healthy diet can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and coronary disease by 40 to 50%.
A 2006 study reported in the Journal of Neurology found that diabetes is the greatest risk factor in developing Alzheimer’s, followed closely by high cholesterol and hypertension. Exercise can significantly reduce the incidence of all three risk factors.
A study by the Cooper Institute in Dallas followed 17,000 men over a 10-year period and found that the incidence of stroke among “high-fit” men was 72% lower, and among “medium-fit” men 65% lower, than it was among “low-fit” men.
Research reported this year in the Lancet involving 2,200 young women in the U.S. found that decreases in energy expenditure from exercise led to increases in body mass index (BMI) and body fatness (adiposity). Mortality rates increased with higher BMI among nonsmoking women.
In separate studies, adiposity has been shown to predict a higher risk of death, regardless of the level of physical activity.
The Nurses Health Study, which has tracked the health, mortality rates, and lifestyle habits of over 100,000 women since the late 1970s, has shown that 80% of heart attacks are found to be preventable with lifestyle changes.
Regular exercise does not only significantly lessen the decline in aerobic capacity that tends to come with age, but actually improves it by 15 to 25%, the equivalent of being 10 to 20 years younger.
Exercise helps to retard the loss of muscle strength that can occur as people age.
The progression of prostate cancer may be slowed, stopped or even reversed with comprehensive changes in diet and other lifestyle factors.
