Hi this is Shane, if you're frustrated with being unable to lose weight and keep it off, let me ask you a couple of very important questions.
Do you know how many calories your metabolism is burning at rest?
Do you know the rate of your metabolism (fast or slow) and specifically what foods and calorie amounts are best for your metabolism type to burn fat?
And
I'm not talking about what you might read on some chart that shows you the number of calories you should be eating based on
your age, height and weight.
These calorie charts equate to nothing more than a guess!
If you want to be successful with tapping into fat loss you need to know how YOUR body works. I've long said that...
"Not knowing your unique caloric requirements or rate of metabolism is like trying to reach your weight loss goals with a blind-fold on!"
Your rate of metabolism is unique due to a variety of factors that will be different for everyone. You can't lump everyone together in the same age, height and weight group and expect them all to have the same calorie requirements.
But this is exactly what most diets leave out. It's the critical flaw that keeps them from being effective. There never will be a "one-size-fits-all" weight loss program or diet that works for everyone.
Stop the confusion and disappointment that comes from failed diets that are based on a "guessing game" about your metabolism and calorie requirements.
I've found one of the biggest secrets to lasting weight loss comes from this...
The power of discovering your rate of metabolism through a resting metabolic rate test.
In part of my Charleston personal training programs we provide resting metabolic rate testing to help you develop a diet plan that works for you. A resting metabolic rate test is the the only sure way to accurately identify your specific caloric needs through the use of oxygen consumption measurement.
A resting metabolic rate test will be the best investment you'll ever make to help ensure you reach your weight loss goals...
At Shaping Concepts of Charleston we incorporate the resting metabolic rate test with customized diet planning and Advocare weight loss products in part of our Metabolic Weight Loss Program.

This sounds interesting Shane, but how much do your programs cost?
The Metabolic Weight Loss Program including the resting metabolic rate test, Advocare weight loss products, and personalized diet and meal planning is only $199.

See our services and rates page to learn how Shaping Concepts personal training clients can receive the Metabolic Weight Loss Program for $139 ($60 savings).
The Resting Metabolic Rate Test is also offered ala-carte for $99.
While the Metabolic Weight Loss Program is a complete weight loss program including diet planning and supplements, the resting metabolic rate can be completed by itself for individuals who would rather not have the personalized diet planning and supplements.
Even with the resting metabolic rate test by itself we'll still take the time to fully explaind the results and provide you with recommendations on exercise and dietary changes to help you reach your goals.
Either way you'll discover exactly what's going on with your metabolism and the best way to use nutrition and exercise to break through a weight loss plateau.
The difference is this time you'll actually be dieting and exercising on a plan that's built for your metabolism. The information you'll learn about your metabolism may be the missing ingredient you've been lacking with your dieting attempts.
Hundreds of resting metabolic rate tests completed for Charleston area residents...
As a leading provider for metabolism testing in Charleston we've conducted hundreds of metabolic profiles for local residents. The resting metaboiic rate test is so valuable that I've included it in part of my signature "Trim In 12" body transformation program.
You may be skeptical and if so I completely understand. To ease your concerns I want to make your decision to take the test completely risk-free.
You get my 100% unconditional money back guarantee if you don't feel either service was worth every penny of your investment!
I'm fully confident that if you follow our recommendations following the metabolism test you'll be able to break through any weight loss plateau no matter how long you've been stuck.
But if you're not 100% satisfied with the results, I'll refund your money no questions asked.
