How can you make sure you eliminate 1 pound of fat and not muscle
Hi Rosalind,
That’s a great question. There’s weight loss and there’s fat loss. When people say they want to lose weight, they mean they want to lose fat, because they certainly don’t want to lose muscle.
There are a couple of ways to ensure your weight loss is from fat loss and not muscle loss:
1- Hydrostatic Body Composition Analysis which is a method of determining body composition (body fat to lean mass).
2- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis which measures the resistance of body tissues to the flow of a small, harmless electrical signal.
It then uses this measurement and information such as height, weight and gender to predict how much body fat a person has.
Thanks for the question,
Michael Stephens
