Congratulations on starting your ultimate transformation journey with BodyKey™ by Nutrilite™ Meal Replacement Shake! This booklet will help you find out what your goals are and make you reflect on the things that you need to focus on improving or getting rid of in embarking on your fitness journey.
Here’s a detailed guide on how to answer the personalized assessment booklet to further help with your weight management journey. Some questions are already straight to the point, so there are no added explanations for these:
Nutrition
1. How old are you? (Choose 1)
- Questions about age are asked because we need to further analyze the type of diet that suits your age.
2. Do you have a family history of diabetes?
- Your family’s medical history on diabetes will determine the type of diet plan that you need.
3. Does either your father or mother have diabetes? (please tick all that applicable)
- Similar to the one above, your parents having a history of being diabetic will affect the type of diet plan that you will need.
4. What is your waist circumference?
5. Describe your overall physical activity and lifestyle. (choose one)
- Your overall athleticism is also a factor in the diet plan that you will be needing.
Now, calculate all your points from questions 1-5. If your score is greater than or equal to 60, you need to start with a low-carbohydrate diet. If your score is less than or equal to 60, then, you need a low-fat diet.
Movement
1. I walk, pace, or stand for at least 5 minutes. (Choose one)
2. How many minutes of non-exercise activity (i.e., standing, pacing, light yard work, fidgeting) do you accomplish in a normal day?
- Questions 1 & 2 measure your general movement, which is how much light exercise (like walking) you do in a day.
3. How many days during the course of the last seven days did you engage in strenuous exercise, such as heavy lifting, aerobics, or fast cycling? Please state how many days per week you regularly participate in intense physical exercise if you were unable to do so (e.g. due to an illness).
4. How long did you typically spend engaging in strenuous exercise on one of those days?
5. How many days during the last week did you engage in moderate physical activity, such as playing tennis, carrying light weights, cycling at a steady pace, or table tennis? If you weren’t able to exercise (e.g. because of an illness), how many days a week you usually do moderate exercise.
6. How long did you typically spend engaging in moderate physical activity on one of those days?
- Questions 3, 4, 5, & 6 assess your baseline level and engagement in physical activity and how your existing medical condition can affect your overall physical fitness. Depending on the intensity of the exercise that you do (if there is any), we may suggest that you ramp up your daily exercise for improved physical health.
7. How many days in the last week did you walk for at least 10 minutes at a time?
8. How long did you typically walk on one of those days?
- Walking is a low-impact exercise that can benefit everyone, so even the slightest amount of walking in a day can already make a great difference for your physical health.
