Weight and Body Fat

How does it work?
While body fat can be measured in many ways, the method used in your scale is bioelectrical impedance. This indirect method of determining body fat starts when a safe and very low electrical current is sent through the lower half of the body. The electrical current flows more quickly through water and muscle than it will through bone and fat. The scale measures the speed of the current. Based on this number, the scale estimates body fat using a multi- step, mathematical formula.

Is it accurate?
Measurements of body fat tend to fluctuate a lot more than simple weighing, and different methods of estimating body fat yield very different results. Just as different scales give different results, different body fat analyzers can provide very different body fat estimates. Even with the same scale the numbers will vary because:

• Weight loss tends to produce substantial, continuous, and unpredictable changes in body water content. Because body fat analysis is determined by water content in the body, results can vary considerably from day to day.
• Hydration status affects body fat results. If you have just worked out, there is less water for the electrical current to flow through. This may result in a higher body fat result. In the same way, if you measure your body fat after drinking a lot of fluid, it may appear that body fat is lower than it really is.
• Skin temperature can have an influence also. Measuring body fat in warm, humid weather when skin is moist will yield a different result than if skin is cold and dry. As with weight, when your goal is to change body composition it is better to track trends over time than to use individual daily results.
• Results may not be accurate for persons under the age of 16, or persons with an elevated body temperature, diabetes, or other health conditions.

What you need to know

• Percent body fat refers to the number of kilograms of fat divided by your total body weight and multiplied by 100.
• During weight loss, percent body fat does not appear to be reduced as quickly as expected because total weight loss and total body fat are decreasing at the same time (for a more detailed explanation, see next section).
• Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common and is normal.
• To minimize the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength training, in your weight-loss plan.

Body Water/Hydration Levels
General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately 2L of water per day from food and liquids to maintain a healthy level of hydration. Maintaining a good hydration level will help improve your overall health and general feeling of well-being. If your hydration levels are lower than average, you should increase your water intake accordingly.

Body water/hydration level – how is it measured?
The hydration level is measured by using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The same analysis that is used to calculate your body fat is used to calculate your hydration level. Taking into consideration a user’s age and gender, a calculation is made that determines the percentage of water.
Note:
It is not recommended to take the hydration measurements in certain situations, such as following exercise, after drinking a glass of water, or directly prior to, during or shortly after menstrual cycles. Hydration may not be at normal levels during these times.

Bone Mass — What Is It?
Bone is a living, growing tissue. During youth, your body makes new bone tissue faster than it breaks down older bone. In young adulthood, bone mass is at its peak; after that, bone loss starts to outpace bone growth, and bone mass decreases. But it is a long and very slow process that can be slowed down even more through calcium-rich diets and weight-bearing exercise.

Important Information Concerning
Weight Management Your scale is a helpful tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes bone, muscle, fat, and water. Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day, depending on a variety of factors.

• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Heavy-duty resistance training can build muscle, which can affect weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary weight gains and losses.

Here are 5 guidelines for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:

• Once a week, on the same day of the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale

Tips

• Your Scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the weight on the scale exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message “Err”.
• Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale.
• Place it gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact. The scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp cloth and/ or glass cleaner.
