• Try to measure yourself at the same time of day, like first thing in the morning. • Don’t eat or exercise for two hours before you get on the scale. • Don’t get upset by short-term weight gains or plateaus. - Page 7 Please consult with your physician before beginning any fitness program or fat or weight reduction program.

- Page 10 Measuring estimated body fat and weight together gives you a more accurate picture of your total fitness. As part of a fitness plan, it helps you set more realistic goals, and better reflects a positive healthy change in your overall body composition. Unlike weight, body fat levels do not fluctuate in response to gains or losses of muscle or water content.
- Page 11 Your Healthy Lifestyle Health and fitness isn’t just about counting calories or cutting fat. Getting in great shape and staying fit means eating right, exercising regularly, and monitoring your weight and body fat together. Eat Smart! Never say "diet!" Did you know you can actually get "fatter" by los- ing weight too quickly on crash diets? Why? Because radically reducing your calorie intake makes you lose muscle not fat.
