- Page 11 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.
- Page 12 • Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common, and is normal. • To minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength training, in your weight-loss plan. Why do I lose weight but my body fat percentage doesn’t change much? Most body fat scales or monitors show body fat as a percentage only.
- Page 13 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.
- Page 14 While a scale/body fat monitor can be a useful tool on your weight-loss journey, it’s not in itself a program for losing weight. Studies show that people lose three times more weight on Weight Watchers than they do on their own.* * Heska S et al.
- Page 15 When You’re Losing Weight It’s important not to put too much stock in the exact number on the scale, because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re dieting. Small weight gains and losses are common as your body adjusts to fewer calories and more exercise.
