Bathroom Body Fat Scale
Whether you are trying to get in shape or simply want to take control of your weight and health,weighing yourself regularly is key in achieving these
goals.The most effective way to monitor your weight is to use a bathroom body fat scale,as you are using the bathroom every day,it is a very convenient way to check your weight daily.However a regular bathroom scale will not tell you the real level of your overall fitness.
Simply measuring changes in your weight will tell you little about your body fat. As muscle tissue weighs more than fat,all your scale will tell you,is that you’ve gained or lost weight which is a total body weight,what about fat and muscles.You have gain fat or muscles,how can you find for real what is what?
This brings as to BIA
The method used to measure the weight and percentage of body fat in your body is called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis,or BIOIMPEDANCE
What it does is,it measures the resistance of the body to the flow of a safe very low level of electric current through your body and since electrical current travels easier through muscle tissue than through fat,as fat contains almost no water while muscle mass is around 70% water,total body fat is calculated by difference.
The very same principle is used in bathroom body fat scale,it is the fastest,simplest and also most precise out of all fat analyzers for the average consumer.
The other methods are:
DEXA Scanning – expensive and not readily available.
Bod Pod-no submersion in water,however you have to get into the Bod Pod chamber, be very still, control your breath,factors which can affect the results
Skinfold Calipers-a pinch test using a measuring device at several points on the body,thighs, hips, and upper arm,much depends on the skills of the person giving you the test.
Bathroom body fat scale will display if you are in fact burning up body fat efficiently by measuring your weight and computing body fat at the same time within a matter of seconds in the comfort and privacy of your own home, at any time.
Body fat scales are extremely accurate as well as reasonably priced,you may find them for as low as $60.That might seem higher priced when compared with your simple bathroom scale, however they really are well worth the additional investment since they give you a very precise level of your total health and fitness advancement.
Here are some tips to make the most out of using your bathroom body fat scale:
As rule of thumb try to take your body fat measurements at around the same time,the best time would be first thing in the morning or right before you go to bed
Avoid using your body fat scale right after exercising,since sweating will cause water loss,and that could affect the accuracy of the test.
Your skin temperature can affect the electrical current used by body fat scale,try to measure at same room temperature each time.
