Page 10: Why Measure Body Fat
Why Measure Body Fat? The key to long-term weight management and better health is building lean muscle and losing body fat. Being healthy doesn’t mean getting "skinny." A thin person can have an unhealthy excess of body fat. A muscuslar person can technically be overweight, but healthy. Getting and staying lean means controlling your body fat percentage. - 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 losing weight too quickly on crash diets? Why? Because radically reducing your calorie intake makes you lose muscle not fat.
