and they fi nd it diffi cult to maintain
their new weight.
With any weight loss program it is
important to ensure that the weight
you are losing is fat and not lean
muscle tissue. The BIA machine has
the ability to determine the amount
of lean muscle tissue compared to
fat mass. This measurement can be
used as a tool in conjunction with a
weight loss program, to make sure the
appropriate weight is being lost. The
BIA also measures toxicity, hydration
and cellular health which can help
to predict accelerated aging if these
levels are abnormal.
The BIA assessment is currently being
used to monitor patients on a weight
loss program, and to monitor patients
on a weight maintenance program.
It is also very valuable for athletes as it
can help monitor the decline in lean
muscle tissue as a result of overtraining.
It is useful for patients
suffering with chronic disease, as it can
detect acceleration in the disease process.
