Metabolism is the process that converts food into the energy your body uses or stores. It controls sleep, appetite, weight, and energy levels. Calories represent energy, similar to how inches measure length. Understanding your calorie intake is crucial and similar to fueling a car—balance is key to maintaining energy levels without overfilling.
However, weight management isn’t just about calories in versus calories out. Various factors influence metabolism, gut hormones, and weight gain. Focusing on metabolic efficiency—the body’s ability to use energy effectively—leads to better weight management, energy, and well-being. Sustainable weight loss and maintenance come from understanding and improving metabolism rather than restrictive dieting.
Tracking metabolism through a daily assessment helps identify areas for improvement. Improving your metabolic efficiency leads to better outcomes, although progress varies for each person. Our weight loss coach can guide you on where to start and tips for enhancement.
You can speed up your metabolism in the following ways:
You can see what influences your metabolism by completing a Metabolism Assessment each day. Try to improve by making suggested changes to your lifestyle.

At Detroit Weight Loss Center, our Nutritionist is on hand to help you with your dietary needs. Our nutritionist can help you with personalized meal planning to help you get the right amount of calories for weight loss without sacrificing your nutritional needs.
Our nutritionist can help with the following situations:
Losing weight before bariatric surgery can help make the procedure safer. Weight loss will help reduce the amount of fat around your abdomen and liver, improves the quality of tissues, and increases the likelihood of successful minimally invasive surgery.
You may required to follow these bariatric surgery pre-op guidelines:
After bariatric surgery, your stomach will need time to recover. Even after recovery, your stomach size will be reduced and you will need to continue with a different eating plan.
The following are some bariatric surgery post-op guidelines that your nutritionist will follow when creating your meal plan:
As you return to regular foods, your portion size will be limited. This will limit the amount of nutrients your body can get through food. Additionally, changes to your anatomy affect nutrient absorption.
This means you will need to take vitamin and mineral supplements every day for the rest of your life, and be followed with regular laboratory assessment. Our Supplement Store at the Detroit Weight Loss Center can supply the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet.
Our partner has three types of workouts for any fitness level: Metabolic, Cardio, and Stretches. Each is explained in more detail below.
Metabolic exercise combines strength and cardiovascular training through circuit routines. These workouts consist of brief intervals of exercise (such as upper body, lower body, and core movements) separated by recovery periods.
Metabolic exercises will give you the fastest results in the shortest amount of time. Your metabolic rate will not only be boosted during the exercise, but the effect will continue long after your workout. They play an essential role in boosting metabolic efficiency and overall physical fitness.
There are three lengths of Metabolic Workouts: 12 minutes (Metabolic Spark), 20 minutes (Metabolic Burn), and 32 minutes (Metabolic Ignite). You should complete 2-4 of these workouts each week.
Cardio exercise is the type of exercise that gets your lungs moving. Workouts generally involve using your large muscle groups, such as running, cycling, or swimming. The exercises cause you to breathe more deeply and your heart rate to rise. This type of training will help you to use oxygen more efficiently.
The cardio workouts are designed to be done either on a treadmill, outside, or inside if you have some room to work with.
There are three lengths of Cardio Workouts: 12 minutes (Cardio Spark), 20 minutes (Cardio Burn), and 32 minutes (Cardio Ignite). You should complete 2-4 of these workouts each week.
Stretching should be an essential part of your exercise routine. Stretching helps prepare your body for exercise and cool down muscles afterward. It helps maintain proper body alignment and reduce those post-workout aches and pains. Stretching helps prevent injuries, decrease stress, and boost your energy.
Stretching does more than just make your muscles a little longer. It will improve your mobility and joint range of motion.
The Stretch Workouts start at 2-15 minutes and we encourage you to do them every day.
12 week training plans for novice to advanced fitness levels.
