I am motivated! In addition, I am motivating friends and family to make positive changes to improve their health. I recommend EMP 180 to anyone who wants to lose weight, learn about nutrition, and change their lives forever. This is a great program.

The InBody https://inbodyusa.com/pages/inbody570 The traditional bathroom scale that many of us have relied on for years doesn't provide critical information about an individual's body composition. At EMP 180 Weight Loss, we use a device called "The InBody". The InBody devise provides a non-invasive, efficient, comprehensive profile of an individual's body composition. The InBody monitors changes in muscle, fat (including visceral fat), basal metabolic rate, and water (extra and intra-cellular) through a technique called Bio-electrical Impedance (BIA).

The entire test takes about 45 seconds. The client receives a print out (example on right) that the EMP nutritional coach uses in their weekly one on one counseling sessions. Our goal is to get every client into the healthy ranges for their age, gender, and body type.
