Your Metabolism Isn’t Broken — It’s Slower Than You Think. Here’s How We Measure It.
Why the InBody Body Composition Analysis is the first step to real, personalized weight loss at Merit.
There’s a moment that happens in almost every first visit at Merit.
A client sits down, frustrated, defeated, and says something like:
“I swear I’m doing everything right… but nothing is changing.”
“My metabolism must be broken.”
“I barely eat and still gain weight.”
“I think something is wrong with me.”
And then — we run their InBody Body Composition Analysis.
And suddenly, everything makes sense.
Let’s talk about the InBody — your metabolism’s truth-teller
The InBody is not a scale.
It’s not a BMI chart.
It’s not a “you’re fine, just eat less” kind of tool.
It’s a medical-grade body composition scanner that tells us things your bathroom scale never could, including:
✅ Body fat percentage
✅ Muscle mass
✅ Visceral fat level
✅ Water balance
✅ Metabolic health
✅ Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) — your daily calorie burn at rest
This is the number that changes everything.
Your BMR is the missing piece (and why weight loss feels harder now)
Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum number of calories your body needs just to:
breathe
think
sleep
digest
function
If your BMR is lower than expected…
you can be eating “in a calorie deficit” and still not lose weight.
And guess what?
Most people who walk through our doors DO have a slower metabolism.
Not because they’re doing anything wrong —
but because of:
aging
hormonal shifts
stress
medications
previous dieting
muscle loss
perimenopause + menopause
This is why the “eat less, move more” advice usually fails.
Your metabolism is not a calculator — it’s a living system.
And the InBody shows us exactly what that system is doing.
This is where shame stops and clarity begins
Here’s what we hear over and over after clients see their InBody results:
“Oh my gosh… I’m not crazy.”
“This explains EVERYTHING.”
“So my metabolism really is slow?”
“No wonder nothing was working.”
“This makes me feel so much better.”
That’s what we want — relief, not blame.
Clarity, not shame.
Because once you understand what your metabolism is doing, you can finally stop fighting your body and start working with it.
This is how we use the InBody at Merit
