I have similar experience with dexa. I am relatively thin and dexa was showing about 40% bf in Android region. I did scan at two different machines n they both show similar results. Bio impedance scale were showing around 18% bf. From dexa results my arms n legs are around 19% which matches with what bio impedance scales…

Losing weight is relatively easy as you just have to maintain caloric deficit. Losing body fat percentage is very tricky. Last year I tried to lose weight very slowly by maintaining 100-200caloric deficit and ended up losing 10 lbs in one year. Dexa scan showed i lost same amount of fat n muscle. Body fat percentage…

I would like to share one post on another thread (by me). It might be relevant to you. The annual checkup on 2016 showed I was high risk diabetic and border line for cholesterol numbers. Since high blood pressure symptom runs on my family, I decided to take care of general health better. I started strength training…

I had border line cholesterol and blood glucose 2 years back..i dropped weight by 10lbs and last year both numbers were normal. just sharing my experience..

You should enjoy food but do little portion control. I went to 3 weeks vacation recently. before heading i lost about 4lbs thinking that i will gain about 4lbs on vacation and will balance out (my goal is not losing weight but maintaining). During the vacation I ate what ever is available (portion control obviously) and…

Congrats! that's a great achievement. How did you preserve muscle mass while cutting down? Any tips?

Sharing my experience with bf machines....I did Tanita and DEXA within one week maintaining similar conditions (morning no food, similar water intake). There was 7% delta between the two (21% Tanita, 28% Dexa). Dexa estimated resting calories around 1450cals; i did breathing metabolic test and it showed resting calories…

I am currently doing 30-40-30 split (P/C/F)..goal is to build muscle and lose fat. One of the problem with Indian food that i find (i am on the same boat) is difficulty in estimating fat content you are getting. Carb and protein can be estimated with fair accuracy..

It has been a long time i stopped using BMI, as it doesn't give my health picture correctly. Even @140lbs i have border line cholesterol and gulcose level. This also explains higher bf @ android region. since i already look thin (on clothes), i don't want to lose weight. My current goal is to stay on maintenance and do…

i have 6.4lbs of lean mass and 4.2lbs of fat in android region. visceral fat is 1.9lb. it might be visceral fat contributing to higher android fat percentage. I was very thin till my 20's around 100lbs, and gain weight later just following poor lifestyle and diet. i am doing workouts and watching diet since couple of years…

I am using dexa as baseline n see how things change in 6 months. For training i am doing mostly compound lifts..bench press, front/back squat n deadlifts and some isolation workouts for arms n core. Nutrition wise i try to maintain 30/40/30 split. I eat healthy food than most of people i personally know..i might be eating…

My waist is 31 inches n waist to height 0.48. I was doing impedance method 3-4 times before and was showing around 19 to 21.5 percentage. I did Dexa to see how muscle n fat is distributed.

Thanks. I introduced push,pull,legs 2 months ago and am seeing progress specially in upper body n arms. Couple of months back i did 30 mins cardio after weight. At that time i was using impedance method for fat/muscle change. It showed that i lost couple of pounds of muscle..since then i have impression that cardio also…
