The Best Way To Measure Weight Loss

The size, Body Mass Index (BMI), the tape strategy, have the ability to been used to assess weight loss/fitness throughout the many year's movements but what is the most accurate way to evaluate your (change in) size and your fitness and health?

Persons have been slaves for their scales for 150 years or more. But the scale is totally accurate in measuring something and one thing only; weight! What is the most appropriate yet practical way so that you can track your progress?

BODY MASS INDEX (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years. It can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal.


A wholesome BODY MASS INDEX score is between 20 and 25. You can get it from a table or a calculator easily obtained online. A score below 20 shows that you may well be underweight; a value above 25 shows that you may well be overweight. Several athletes, such as basketball players have a high muscle to fat rate and may even have a BODY MASS INDEX that is misleadingly high despite their body excess fat percentage.

I am 5'-11" tall and weigh 195 pounds. I am an avid weightlifter and do high-intensity cardio 3 times a week. My personal BMI of 27. 2 says which i is overweight, which holds true in the sense that I do consider more than the average person of my elevation but that is because of getting more than average muscle and not more than average fat.

We are constantly touting size change that occurs when you lose fat, Dok uz cubic inches per pound. I'm also constantly referring to the value of resistance training. You need to build muscle to both fill the some of that void the vanishing fat leaves, to burn more calories, also to supply you with the sexy condition if you're looking for.

Why do I want you to stop weighing yourself? That is NOT the most accurate measure of your progress. If you are going to measure your progress, I'd like you to use two tools; 1. Your camera/phone. 2. Tape measure. Here's why. The scale only steps weight. It doesn't check size or shape.

All of us were referring to this previous night at a drinking party. If you dealt 10 lbs of fats for 10 lbs of muscle, you will weigh exactly the same but you would be 67. 5 CUBIC INCHES SMALLER! If perhaps you trusted the range you'd be a failing, but THAT'S NOT TRUE!

So let's do this. Get a tape check and start measuring your waist, hips, arms and thighs, every two several weeks. Take pictures of yourself every two weeks and compare them.


If you cannot do that. Get a couple of your "fat pants", put them on every 2 weeks, and have someone pull the waist away from both you and measure the distance from your belly button to the waistband. This kind of way you'll get a vivid, accurate and telling way of measuring your progress.

Stop taking a look at that size and become a "tapeworm". You'll be pleased you did!
