Compleat REST

Compleat REST test is worth performing if you:

• want to effectively change your body weight
• are in the process of quitting smoking
• are recovering from metabolic issues (after chronic dieting or fasting)
• suffer from hormonal imbalances, metabolic syndrome, any degree of obesity or hypothyroidism
• practice sport with weight categories
• want to start eating more mindfully

Test is performed in a lying position and takes approximately 10–15 minutes. It’s best to perform it in the morning on an empty stomach. If that is not possible, refrain from eating for at least 5 hours before the test (drinking water is allowed).

NOTE: If after some time you would like to repeat the test and see what changes have occurred, make sure to do it at a similar time of day as the previous one.

After the test, your data will be analyzed and presented in a report, from which you’ll learn, among other things:

• how many calories you burn at rest
• what is your total daily energy requirement
• how efficiently you breathe
• how well your body uses fat at rest
• which parameters you can improve—and how to do it.

NOTE: If you are actively working on changing your body weight (weight loss, fat reduction or muscle gain), it is recommended to repeat the test every 8–12 weeks. In other cases, once a year is sufficient.
