Unlock Fat-Burning with CGM + RMR Testing

Know When Your Body Starts Burning Fat

Fasting is a popular strategy for weight loss and improving overall health. Whether you’re practicing intermittent fasting or going longer periods without food, the process can feel straightforward. But how do you really know if you're burning fat? Or are you simply riding a blood sugar rollercoaster?

The truth is, it's time to stop guessing and start optimizing your fasting routine with data. At DexaFit West Houston, we combine two key tests—Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing—to show you exactly when your body enters fat-burning mode. These tools help you tailor your fasting for real, sustainable results.

Why Your Fast Might Not Be Working

Fasting is a powerful tool, but it doesn't always work the same for everyone. While some people experience fast results, others may feel stuck. If you’ve ever hit a plateau or felt like you weren’t getting the benefits, you’re not alone.

Here’s why:

• Fasting affects everyone differently: What works for one person may not work for another. Your body’s unique metabolism and how it reacts to fasting make a big difference.

• You might not be tapping into fat-burning mode: It’s not just about fasting for a set number of hours. You need to know when your body is actually burning fat. Without the right data, you might be fasting but not seeing the real benefits.

• Blood sugar issues: When blood sugar spikes and crashes, it can interfere with fat burning, leaving you tired, irritable, or hungry. This can make it harder to stick with your fasting plan and achieve your goals.

The Power of Data: CGM and RMR Testing

So how do you ensure your fast is working for you? The key lies in understanding how your body responds during the fast. That’s where data-driven tools like CGM and RMR come in.

1. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

CGM tracks your blood sugar levels throughout the day, providing real-time insights into how your body is reacting to food, fasting, and exercise.

• Track blood sugar fluctuations: With CGM, you can see exactly when your blood sugar rises and falls, helping you avoid crashes that can derail your fasting.

• Stay in fat-burning mode: By keeping blood sugar steady, CGM helps you avoid the rollercoaster that often makes fat burning harder.

• Personalized fasting: Understand when your body is most likely to burn fat and optimize your fasting window for better results.

2. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Your RMR is how many calories your body burns at rest. It’s the baseline energy your body uses to function, and knowing your RMR helps you understand how your metabolism works.

• Understand how your body uses energy: RMR testing tells you exactly how many calories you burn at rest, which helps you determine your ideal calorie intake.

• Know when you’re burning fat: With RMR, you can figure out when your body uses fat as fuel, so you can schedule fasting at the best times.

• Avoid muscle loss: When you’re fasting, it’s important to ensure you’re not losing muscle. Knowing your RMR can help you avoid muscle breakdown and focus on burning fat instead.

Together, CGM and RMR Testing Can Transform Your Fast

When combined, CGM and RMR provide a clear picture of your metabolic process during fasting. These tests help you understand:

• When you’re truly burning fat

• How your blood sugar is affecting your fast

• The best time to fast for your body

With this data, you can create a fasting strategy that works for you—not for anyone else. You’ll know when to eat, when to fast, and when your body is most likely to use fat as fuel.
