Armed and dangerous............!!!

So-the question of the day has been: "How do I know if the weight I am losing is bodyfat?" Great question! After all-most of us cannot afford to lose any muscle mass. Muscle mass is what keeps us strong as we age and also keeps us burning calories even when we are not moving around much. The more muscle you have, the more efficient you are at pretty much everything. At Weight Loss Lake Tahoe we have an arsenal of weapons too assist you in your battle of the LHMT (love handles and muffin tops)! 1. Body Composition Analyzer. This equipment will give you a reading and tell us exactly what percent of your body weight is fat, how much is lean mass, and what your hydration level is (no losing water...that doesn't count as desireable weight loss at our clinic!).2. Scale. You do have to know exactly how much your body weighs....we don't believe in avoiding the scale because we know first hand where THAT can get you! 3. Measuring tape. We measure your body so you know exactly where the weight is being lost from. I know I want to lose it in my midsection and thighs, NOT my face and shoulders, but that's just me. When flushing bodyfat you should notice a significant change in how your clothes fit with even small changes on the scale. 5 pounds of bodyfat is a tremendous change in physique, but 5 pounds of water and lean mass lost makes a dieter look dehydrated and thinner in the face. 4. Ketosis sticks. You must know you are in ketosis using simple ketosis sticks. This is a simple tool often overlooked, but if you want to make sure those pounds lost are really and truly bodyfat, you must stay in a ketotic state (fat burning) and we can test this in 15-20 seconds!
