Redefining Weight Loss: A Personalized, Metabolism-First Approach
For many people, weight loss or body recomposition—building lean muscle while reducing body fat—is top of mind, especially heading into a new season or the New Year. Yet not everyone wants or tolerates GLP-1 medications, and many are understandably wary of restrictive dieting that compromises mental health, metabolism, or lean mass.
At BIÂN, Dr. Ben’s Weight Loss Intensive Program was designed for individuals seeking a sustainable, data-driven path to change—one that prioritizes long-term health, metabolic integrity, and a mindful relationship with food.
This program is an ideal fit for individuals who want to lose weight or improve body composition, are not using GLP-1 therapies, and have no history of disordered eating. The goal is not rapid loss or rigid rules, but lasting progress built on awareness, precision, and consistency.
A Personalized, Metabolism-First Strategy
Rather than relying on generic calorie targets or one-size-fits-all plans, the Weight Loss Intensive begins by understanding your metabolism.
Each participant starts with resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing using a gold-standard metabolic calorimeter. This breath-based test—performed in a fully fasted, non-stimulated state—measures how many calories your body actually burns at rest and compares that data to predictive equations. From there, Dr. Ben determines a healthy, nutritionally adequate caloric and macronutrient range that supports fat loss without sacrificing lean mass or energy.
This metabolic foundation allows the program to establish a sustainable caloric deficit that aligns with your physiology, lifestyle, and training—not against it.
What the Program Includes
Quarterly Metabolic Testing
Your resting metabolic rate is re-measured every three months to ensure your plan evolves as your body adapts.
Monthly Body Composition Analysis
InBody scans track fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, and hydration so progress is measured beyond the scale.
Comprehensive Health Assessment
Baseline evaluation includes nutrition, digestion, sleep, stress, cycle health, habits, movement, and other key contributors to body composition.
Cronometer Nutrition Tracking
Food intake is tracked through Cronometer (similar to MyFitnessPal), with Dr. Ben actively monitoring reports and trends to guide real-time adjustments.
Custom Meal Planning
Monthly meal plans with grocery lists are tailored to your goals, preferences, and lifestyle.
High-Touch, Ongoing Coaching
Participants receive unlimited access to Dr. Ben via text, email, phone, or in person, with structured touchpoints every 1–3 weeks as needed for feedback, accountability, and refinement.
Designed for Long-Term Success
This is a 6–12 month commitment by design. The program focuses on building awareness of caloric needs, developing systems that support consistency, and strengthening your ability to read hunger, satiety, and energy cues. By the end of the program, participants are equipped to maintain their progress independently—without restriction, burnout, or metabolic rebound.
The ultimate objective is to support healthy weight or body composition changes when appropriate, without compromising lean mass or mental well-being.
A Holistic Alternative to Conventional Weight Loss
Dr. Ben’s approach goes beyond traditional dieting by identifying the most appropriate and sustainable balance point—metabolically, nutritionally, and behaviorally—for each individual. The result is not only effective weight loss, but improved overall health and a more grounded, confident relationship with food.
If you or someone you know is exploring a healthier, more intentional way to change body composition in the year ahead, this program may be an excellent fit. We’ve seen meaningful, lasting results in its first year—and we’re excited to continue that momentum.
