Replacing Batteries; Cleaning And Care The Unit; Disposal - Beurer BG 43 Instructions For Use Manual

• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or remains the same,
you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid
weight loss.
• If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then
you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat
mass.
• Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training.
This way you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.
• Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue
also contain body water).
