The document proposes a new pre-diet analysis process using 4 scientific tests to determine an individual's unique metabolism and body composition. This includes measuring resting metabolic rate, daily activity levels, body fat percentage, and water balance. The results would provide personalized recommendations for calorie intake, exercise needs, and more to optimize weight loss and maintenance outcomes for any chosen diet plan. It is argued this approach is needed since people's bodies vary and a one-size-fits-all method has shown limited success. The analysis aims to give clients full control over their weight goals.
