“The InBody scan tells you what your body is made of: fat mass and lean mass, like muscle. Focusing on a body fat % goal, rather than a weight goal, is a smarter, healthier way to achieve your health and performance goals. From this 1-minute scan you will learn if you are in a healthy range, what your goals should be and how to track your progress over time.”
Framing your expectations at the initial and subsequent InBody assessments is important. A reduction of 1-3% body fat is a realistic goal over an 8-12 week period. A gradual rate of weight loss will help improve muscle retention and endurance exercise. Gradual translates to 2 lbs per week.
Remember though, weight loss is not linear or consistent.
