  • What Goal Is Right For Me
    How to determine which goal is right for you. There are some questions you may need to ask yourself first. 1. Am I happy with my current bodyweight? 2. Am I happy with my current calorie intake? 3. Do I want to build more muscle? 4. Do I want to lose bodyfat? These questions alone can be a great start to determine which option is right for you. If you are unhappy with your current bodyweight and looking to lose bodyfat, then selecting weight loss may be the best choice. Whereas if you are happy with your bodyweight, then a maintenance goal may be the way to go. If you fall into the category of wanting to lose bodyfat, but are stuggling to stick to a diet. Then a reverse diet may be a great option for you. Doing this will allow you to increase your calories over time, increasing your metabolic rate. This may make fat loss easier in the future, due to being able to diet on more caloires. Making your diet easier to adhere to in the long term. If you are looking to build more muscle, then you could also select a reverse diet. But selecting muscle gain would most likely be the most beneficial. As the system will be setting you targets with the intention of increasing bodyweight and thus maximising muscle gain potential.
  • Weight Loss Explained
    If your goal is to lose fat, then this is the option for you. When it comes to losing weight, you have to be in a calorie deficit to achieve this. This means consuming less than your body is burning on a daily basis. The VisionFit Health system will determine your maintenance calories and apply an appropriate calorie defcit based on the rate of loss you have selected. If you have a history of yo-yo dieting, or you are someone that is always struggling to lose weight. It may be more appropriate to select a conservative approach and go slower, which may be more sustainable. Or switch to the Reverse Diet setting for a period of time to recover your metabolism before attempting to diet again.
  • Muscle Gain Explained
    If your goal is to gain weight and build muscle, then this option is for you. To achieve weight gain you have to be in a calorie surplus. The muscle gain option will determine an appropriate surplus from your maintenance calories, dependant on which rate of gain you have selected. To allow you to gain weight at the desired rate. Being in a calorie surplus is highly beneficial when it comes to muscle growth. Following a proggesive resitance training program while simultaneousy eating in that surplus, is going to promote the best growth. Muscle gain and reverse dieting are similar as they both put you in a calorie suplus. But the goal of the muscle gain option is to increase bodyweight.
  • Reverse Diet Explained
    If you are wanting to rebuild your metabolism and maintain your bodyweight on a higher calorie intake, then reverse dieting is the option for you. After a succesful weight loss period, calories are often at a low point. Going into a reverse diet can be a great option if the goal is to increase your metabolism and get calorie intake back to a healthy range. It is also highly beneficial for those who are struggling to adhere to a low calorie intake. Maybe you've been trying to lose weight forever and always head up and down on the scale. Reverse dieting can rebuild your metabolism over time, so that in the future you may be able to lose bodyfat on higher calories, which will be more sustainable in the long run. It isn't sustainable to stay on a low calorie diet long term. It's important to get them back up to a sustainable amount once dieting is complete or if adherence is a problem. Going straight back up to the calories you were eating before your fat loss phase, can cause a lot of weight to be gained back at a fast rate. Doing a reverse diet allows you to increase calories weekly, while monitoring weight gain and will go up dependant on what rate of increase you have selected. Reverse dieting and muscle gain are similar as they both put you in a calorie suplus. But the goal of the reverse dieting option is to increase calorie intake.
  • Maintenance Explained
    If you are happy with your current bodyweight and calorie intake, then maintenance is the option for you. You may want to go into a maintenace phase once you have completed a reverse diet. This will give your body time to adapt to the higher calorie intake it is on. Taking this time to maintain can set you up very well physically and mentally, ready for the next goal you choose. Particulary if the goal is fat loss. The VisionFit system will keep you within a certain range of your weight, dependant on which weight range you have selected.
