How best
to measure your progress on a weight management programme?
Weight? Inch loss? Body fat%? Visceral fat?
Measuring changes in body fat percentage, rather than just measuring
changes in weight, can be very motivational when you're dieting.
A measurement of ones body fat percentage is a more accurate
gauge of your excess body weight than your BMI( body mass
index), a measurement which does not take into account ones body
frame size, nor does it account for the amount of muscle mass a
person has. However, body fat percentage is not as popular as
BMI’s because the skills and technology needed to measure body
fat percentage are not readily available. However..by using the

% measurements taken weekly, as well as visceral fat*, metabolic
age, muscle mass, % body water, physique rating, BMR and bone mass.
