Metabolic appraisal

While on the trip Jennifer and I splurged and had our metabolism tested.

The good news was that a very large percentage of my mass is muscle. The trainer was impressed by that number. The bad news - lots of fat and water retention too.

His suggestion was 2 cycles of a 3 month detox program using suppliments from Elemis, combined with exercise. Of course, they had the suppliments for sale at an outragrously high price.

Now home, we are looking into getting the suppliments locally, at a 20% reduction in price.
The suppliments are for colon cleansing and liver detox, using micro algae. Will have to do more research before we splurge.

I know my gym has the same electronic metabolic test machine (runs electrodes through your body to evaluate muscle, fat, water). It is good to have a baseline number. from the cruise.
