Before people start any kind of diet for losing weight, there are some medical tests experts recommend to make sure fast weight loss is successful and to keep the weight off long term.
These tests are also needed to make sure fat loss happens safely, without releasing toxins into the body, In this article, we’ll look at the key tests and why doing them is important for creating the perfect weight loss plan and keeping the results.
First test: Organic acids profile for mitochondrial health
Mitochondria play an important role that’s often underrated in the processes Weight lossSo checking mitochondrial health in people can greatly improve success in any weight loss diet.
One effective way to check mitochondrial health is through an organic acids profile, which can indicate the status of the person's citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle.
The citric acid cycle is a series of chemical reactions that produce energy through mitochondria, by making ATP, the universal energy molecule.
How well low calorie diets work depends on the genes that control the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and the mitochondrial pathway that produces energy or ATP.
Mitochondria also help generate heat by burning calories to produce energy, so they are strong heat producers and safely metabolize fat.
Mitochondria regulate brown fat genes, and brown fat cells produce heat by turning chemical energy into heat. There are many mitochondria in brown fat, and the heat activity of this fat comes from these mitochondria.
This is why it's important to find biochemical blocks in people to reach peak heat production, especially mitochondrial weakness. The organic acids profile can help show how well mitochondria are functioning.
Second test:- Food sensitivities FOOD SENSITIVITIES
Before recommending a specific diet for people, it’s important to request a panel of food sensitivities or Food Sensitivities, Because food intolerance caused by food sensitivities from the IgG test can cause a low-grade inflammation in people who suffer from severe obesity, which conflicts with attempts to lose weight.
Research shows that putting overweight or obese people on an elimination diet based on the food sensitivities panel can give effective results in weight loss.
Studies found that people on the elimination diet lost more weight and more Body fat, Compared to people who didn’t follow an elimination diet.
There was also a clear drop in levels of triglycerides in people on the elimination diet. Researchers concluded that people who can’t lose weight on a low caloriediet can lose weight and fat by following an elimination diet based on food sensitivity tests.
Research also shows food sensitivities can cause leaky gut, and leaky gut can cause weight gain or at least block weight loss attempts.
Third test: Environmental pollutants
The third test that can boost weight loss success is the environmental pollutants profile, especially when added to the organic acids profile.
Environmental pollutants matter in weight loss in two ways. First, pollutants can cause weight gain. For example, exposure to phthalates can lead to an increase Body Mass Index, and waist circumference, and cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein LDL, triglycerides, and blood glucose.
Phthalates are found all over the environment. People can get exposed through many sources like tableware, floor tiles, furniture upholstery, shower curtains, garden hoses, food packaging, medical tubes, hair spray, nail polish, insecticides, toothbrushes, and aspirin. Ongoing exposure can lead to obesity epidemic.
The second way environmental toxins affect weight loss is by releasing toxins from fat cells when a person loses weight and then regains it.
Environmental toxins also worsen food sensitivities and gut leakiness, which messes up sustained weight loss both short and long term.
Even though people wanting to lose weight and experts are keen to start weight loss plans, the best and safest results happen when people get checked for organic acid profiles, food sensitivity panels, and environmental pollutant profiles before starting their diet.
These tests can also show why some people don’t succeed with their current weight loss methods. They help make changes that make losing weight easier.
