The body is composed mostly of protein, fat, water, muscle, organs, bones and blood. We can actually determine what makes up your body weight by having you stand on our professional body composition analyzer. Body composition results will show how much of your body weight is muscle, fat and water. It is also broken down to percentages and is further broken down to the right/left arm , right/left leg and trunk! When a patient looses 10 pounds we can determine what was lost: water, protein or fat and where it was lost, arms, legs or trunk! This is important information because it allows me to tweak the diet/exercise to achieve the patients goals by seeing how the body responded to certain eating instructions. We want to maintain water and protein while losing fat. This is an excellent tool that tracks the results of a weight lose program or can be used as a maintenance tool. Immediate biofeedback that lets you know how well you are doing. We use the Professional Body Composition Analyzer model BC-418 from Tanita to obtain our data.
