What is body composition and why is it important to me?
Body composition analysis refers to measuring your body composition, generally known as your body muscle, fat, and water. Instead of focusing on a single number on your scale, body composition analysis allows you to focus on losing body fat and gaining muscle while retaining the proper amount of body water in specific areas of your body. Body composition analysis is the key to tracking and maintaining effective weight loss. Lose weight smarter, healthier, and happier like never before.
Your body is made up of so much more than just fat. In fact, your body is approximately 60% water. When you step on your scale every morning and see those daily weight fluctuations, many times it is simply water weight changing based off your previous day’s food and exercise choices. We want to dig deeper than just the number on the scale and see exactly where your body composition is at. Having a detailed view of how much muscle, fat and water makes up your body not only helps with establishing a baseline of where your body composition is currently at, but also provides valuable information to help establish proper dietary and exercise related protocols that fit your goals. Scanning every 6 to 8 weeks can also help accurately tack your progress to ensure you moving in the RIGHT direction.
There is a huge difference between WEIGHT LOSS and FAT LOSS. Following a fad diet and a random exercise routine can provide great success ON THE SCALE. But the problem is in most cases the number on the scale is going down because you are losing more muscle and water than actual fat. This makes achieving your goals even harder as muscle not only acts as your body armor, protecting you against illness and aging, but it is also the center of your metabolism. The less muscle you have, the slower your metabolism becomes. And as we age, our body begins to break down muscle rapidly, which means maintaining it is even harder and its importance for QUALITY of life is even greater. The same goes for GAINING MUSCLE. Just because that scale goes up doesn’t mean you’re gaining muscle, many times you’re just getting fat.
