The Shift Plan™ Fat loss that starts with your metabolism — not your willpower.
Halifax’s only one-on-one, exercise-integrated fat loss clinic — powered by Shift Science™
Private. Precision-driven. Personalized. Proven.
💡At Weight Loss Pros, We Don’t Guess — We Measure.
The Shift Plan™ is a data-guided system that reveals what’s holding back your metabolism — and reverses it through measurable improvements in fat oxidation, muscle retention, and cellular resilience.
By combining InBody 770 composition analysis, Breezing Pro metabolic testing, and Shift Index™ tracking, we turn your body’s data into a personalized roadmap for lasting fat loss — no drugs, no guesswork.
🔬 How We Guide & Track Real Fat Loss
Every Shift Plan begins with a Baselining Session to uncover your unique fat-loss fingerprint.
From there, we track key markers that tell the truth about your transformation — not just your weight.
⚖️ Anthropometry (Waist-to-Height Ratio)
The most underrated metric in modern fat loss — simple, visual, and surprisingly precise. Your waist-to-height ratio tells us more about metabolic health than most scales or wearables ever could.
Within the Shift Plan™, it anchors the bigger picture — confirming that fat loss is coming from the right places while connecting everyday tracking to high-level metabolic change.
(Tracked bi-weekly, especially for at-home and meal-plan-only clients.)
📊 InBody 770 DSBIA (Direct Segmental Bioelectrical Impedance Assessment)
Maps fat, muscle, and water balance with medical precision — showing where you’re losing, not just how much.
🧬 Whole Body Cell Phase Angle
Indicates cellular integrity and regeneration. As it rises, your body holds onto lean tissue and lets fat go more effectively.
🫁 Respiratory Quotient (RQ)
Shows which fuel you’re burning after a reasonable fast — fat or carbs — and how adaptable your metabolism is.
💓 Autonomic Balance (ABX™)
Shows how well your nervous system regulates stress and resilience — revealing whether your body is calm or strained.
🔥 FOx Score™ (Metabolic Efficiency)
Blends metabolism (REE), fuel mix (RQ), and glucose-to-βHB balance to measure how efficiently you convert stored fat into energy.
The Meaning Behind the Numbers
Each metric provides a signal — a glimpse into how your body burns fuel, restores balance, and protects lean mass.
But when those signals are integrated, they form something more powerful: a clear picture of your metabolic conversion in motion.
That composite view becomes your Shift Index™ — your personal metabolic conversion score.
It’s not about effort — it’s about evolution. Proof that your metabolism is re-learning how to burn fat efficiently and stay in balance.
⬇️ Scroll down to see how it all connects inside The Shift Plan™.
The Shift Index™ brings everything together — body composition, cellular health, fuel utilization, and nervous system balance — into one powerful 0–100 score that reflects how deeply your body is adapting.
What it measures:
🧬 Cell Integrity — Phase Angle
⚖️ Adiposity — Visceral Fat Area & WTHR
💪 Muscle & Metabolism — Lean Mass & REE
💓 Autonomic Balance — ABX™
🔥 Fuel Utilization — RQ & FOx Rate™
What it shows:
A rising Shift Index™ doesn’t just indicate fat loss — it signals transformation.
Better fat oxidation. Greater metabolic resilience. Less internal strain.
Why it matters:
A higher Shift Index™ means your body is mastering fat burn — not just losing weight, but rebuilding metabolic control from the inside out.
