Once you know your starting point (speed of metabolism), your next step is to set your goals for your body fat percentage & antioxidant score. Stabilizing your blood sugar by eating in 3’s will get your hormones balanced & body fat % diale...d in...this ignites permanent weight loss & drop in inches. I look at this as your “external health” because you can visually see & feel the progress. Your “internal health” is your antioxidant score, this gives you a view of your cellular health, which directly affects metabolism, inflammation, stiffness & soreness, etc... many things you may feel, but cannot see.
Increasing your intake of fruits & veggies (loaded in antioxidants) and/or supplementing with quality liquid antioxidants to fill the gaps is the easiest way to have an optimal antioxidant score. I have attached two images, one is body fat % levels based on your goals. Basically everyone should be at least a moderate level of health regarding body fat % (page 49 in Body Confidence). The image of the VIEW scanner is how you test your antioxidant level, if your score is red, orange or yellow you have low antioxidant levels & a high free radical load (not the best). Your goal is to be green, blue or purple (ideally blue or purple), this means you have high antioxidant levels to optimally protect your cells against free radicals.
What’s interesting is many athletes have an excellent body fat %, yet a low antioxidant score...this is a recipe for disaster and is what can attribute to tendentious, pulled muscles, slow recovery, etc... My point being, just because you might “look the part” does not mean you are rockin your health.
My suggestion is get your body fat % & antioxidant score, then you will become clear on the two best non invasive forms of measurements that provide the greatest reading of your “internal & external” health. Then you simply implement the right strategies & get both your body fat % & antioxidant score tested every month to ensure you are achieving your goals. Lets keep making our health happen!
