The Bathroom Scale Doesn't Tell the Whole Story

Weight loss and exercise can lead to confusing results on the bathroom scale. You want to lose body fat, but exercise increases muscle mass. If you lose 2 pounds of fat but gain 3 pounds of muscle mass, you will have gained 1 pound! This is actually a good thing! A bio-impedance scale can help you figure all this out. This scale measures your real body fat percentage, which is the information you really need.
