I was 27.?% body fat, that's now down to 24% but with the working out and walking every day (2hours a day 5 days a week), my muscle mass has increased, so my BMI has me as overweight, which is inaccurate. The visceral fat is the killer for us blokes, that's what really needs getting down, not the fat you can see and pinch.



No mate, the new leathers were :D
What I meant was, how do you work/find out these things? I know t'BMI is bollox.

I get that the excess suet around my kidneys is the thing that needs to go but like Foxy said how does the machine tell?
It can’t unless it’s an MRI scanner or some such.

It’s perfectly normal. Deer stock fat that way to over winter and our ancestors probably stuffed themselves for winter starvation too. You just don’t want it 365!

But starvation works.....

It measures blood flow etc. The one's I have is 100% accurate and helps focus.

That's why vascular fat is one of the biggest killers for Men.

The best are merely 20% out, the worst 30% plus........ and then there is how much we individually correspond to mathematical models.

Anyone for Covid?

Are you on about BMI which every scale is wholly inaccurate or Vascular fat scales which are accurate?

Did you read the article?

‘Home body fat scales also cannot show where a person’s body fat is stored. The location of body fat is an important consideration when assessing a person’s susceptibility to disease. For instance, a 2016 study found an association between increased abdominal fat and a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

I think you mean visceral fat i.e. the stuff around your kidneys etc. Vascular means your blood circulatory system. Your gadget won’t do clogged arteries either. Sorry.
