In-Body Analysis
The number on your scale does not represent your true weight. “Skinny fat” is a term used to describe people who have a normal body weight but a high percentage of body fat, often with low muscle mass. This body type may appear slim, but the individual has a higher risk of developing health issues related to excess body fat, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance. It’s important to focus on both weight loss and body composition, rather than just weight loss, to maintain optimal health.
Weight loss does not always equal fat loss because weight loss is a combination of various factors, including muscle, bone, water, and fat.
When someone loses weight, they may not only be losing fat but also losing muscle, water, and other elements of their body composition. This is why it’s important to focus on body composition, not just weight loss, to achieve optimal health. Losing muscle mass, for example, can negatively impact metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight loss in the long term.
No more skin-fold pinching and the use of inaccurate tape measures! Thrive Medical offers the most technologically advanced, non-invasive method of body composition analysis available, that provides a detailed breakdown of your “true” weight. You get results you can trust so you can monitor actual fat loss.
Without such technologically advanced body composition measurement, you will never know whether the weight you are losing is “real weight loss” (fat loss), or just muscle wasting and water loss.
All too often, starvation diets result in the wrong kind of weight loss.
The scale might show that you have lost weight, when in fact, you have lost muscle. This does not bode well for long-term weight loss management.
With In-Body® analysis, you know exactly how many kilograms of fat you have lost. In-Body® analysis is ideal as part of a general GP check-up, a medical weight loss programme, functional medicine, or even standalone body composition testing.
Here is a real-world example:
A man with high blood sugar, high body fat to muscle mass ratio and with higher-than-normal oestrogen levels, will be guided to start exercising, commence a special diet and take nutraceutical supplements to reduce oestrogen levels and improve blood sugar levels. I may suggest an exercise routine that includes both resistance training and cardiovascular training as well as the use of the following supplements: alpha-lipoic acid, berberine, and chromium, which have been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.
