Determining these three variables makes it possible to define an individual body weight control program developed on the basis of the individual's metabolism.

Indirect calorimetry is based on the principle that, in the body, oxidation of nutrients leads to the end products CO2 , Water and Urea. It is measured by separating the inhaled air from the exhaled air; changes in the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the respiratory gases are measured by special paramagnetic sensors inside the calorimeter.It is a simple, quick and non-invasive test, lasting about 10 minutes, clinically tested and used in hospital settings for the management of metabolic disorders.
