Tips on tracking your weight To control your weight and figure, you must know your body composition (including your fat mass). Muscles and fat mass, which essentially make up your weight, are indispensable for life, and must be distributed evenly. This distribution varies according to your sex, age and height. Muscles allow you to carry out physical activities, lift objects and move without difficulty. The higher the muscle mass is, the more energy it consumes and thereby contributes to weight control. Fat mass functions are insulation, protection and energy reserve. It is inert and stores surplus calories, if you eat more than what you burn. Physical exercise helps you to reduce it, whereas a sedentary lifestyle increases it. In high quantities, fat mass is dangerous to health (cardiovascular risks, cholesterol, etc.). If you are on a diet, BODYMASTER will help you to control the loss of your fat mass while making sure your lean mass stays the same. This is helpful because an unsuitable diet can result in loss of muscle. However, only muscles consume energy. This means that if you lose muscles, you will burn fewer calories and your body will store the fat. Therefore you cannot reduce your fat mass on a lasting basis without maintaining your muscle mass. BODYMASTER will help you to monitor your diet and control the balance of your body composition over time. To get the best out of your appliance, the body measurement must always be taken in the same conditions: – Measurements must be taken barefoot (direct contact with the skin). Your feet must be dry and correctly positioned on the Electrodes, see page 2. Caution: if your feet are too calloused, the measurement may be distorted. – Preferably once a week first thing in the morning (to avoid weight fluctuations during the day due to your food intake, digestion or physical activity). – 15 minutes after you get up, so that the water in your body can circulate to your lower limbs. It is also important to make sure that there is no contact between your legs (thighs, knees, calves) or between your feet. If necessary, slide a sheet of paper between your legs. 2015900781_BM6010V0_Format 110x156 27/09/2016 11:08 Page1213 Measuring principle When you step onto the scale, barefoot, a very low intensity electric current is transmitted into your body by the electrodes. This current, transmitted from one foot to the other, comes up against obstacles when it must pass through fat. This resistance of the body, called bio-electric impedance, varies according to your sex, age and height, and from this, the fat mass and its limits can be determined. This appliance is entirely safe as it is operates with a very low voltage (1.5 V batteries). However, measurements may be distorted in the following cases: – people with a fever, – children under 6 (appliance not calibrated under this age), – pregnant women (perfectly safe however), – people on dialysis, people with oedemas on the legs, people suffering from dysmorphia.
