BODY COMPOSITION SCAN

Excess body fat cannot be determined simply by standing on a scale

The number on the scale is not the only number to consider.  Our metabolism is highly dependent on our body composition – that is, how much fat we have versus muscle.  The more muscle, the more calories we burn every second of every day – even while we sleep.  The percent of fat to muscle we have can also help determine the risks for developing certain diseases, and can be one of the most useful ways to gauge the effectiveness of your exercise routine.

Have you tried to lose weight by eating well and exercising but the pounds don’t seem to be dropping off even though you feel lighter and your clothes feel looser? When this happens, what keeps you motivated to stay on track?

The reason you feel like you lost weight even thought it may not show on the scale is because you are likely building muscle while shedding fat, and muscle is heavier than fat. To best gauge your success, you need to determine how much fat you have on your body and how much fat you are losing as you make those diet and exercise changes.
