INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION
LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS
There are lots of reasons for people to lose weight. To be healthier. To look better. To feel better. To have
more energy.
No matter what the reason, successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible
goals and expectations. If you set sensible goals for yourself, chances are you'll be more likely to meet
them and have a better chance of keeping the weight off.
The foundation of a successful weight loss program remains a combination of a healthy diet and exercise
customized for you. Simply reducing food intake to lose weight can lead to a decline in muscle mass and
bone density. So even though your weight goes down, your resting metabolism is reduced making the
body more prone to putting on fat. More skeletal muscle can prevent “rebound” weight gain.
The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor
and Scale tracks your progress by monitoring
weight, skeletal muscle, body fat, BMI and resting metabolism rate to help you reach your goals.
Here’s a comparison of losing weight quickly versus slowly:
