Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender. What is visceral fat? Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin). What is resting metabolism? Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight. What is skeletal muscle? Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future. |

Fabulous Scale by Gina (Boston, MA)  5 Stars

Accurate and easy to use by J. Patino  4 Stars
November 16, 2009
I received the scale on time and perfectly wrapped. It comes with batteries and if you read the manual its pretty straight forward to create the user profiles. Four user profiles are available to save, but anyone can easily input their info to get accurate body fat and BMI ratings.
It automatically turns off after 5 minutes of inactivity which i think its great to save the battery life!

Weight only - forget about body fat & BMI by W. J. Corbin (Mount Juliet, TN USA)  1 Stars
October 29, 2009
I have had this scale for 7 months. It seems to do a good job of showing my weight. However, it rarely gives anything other than error codes for body fat % and body mass index. I follow all the instructions for set up and use. The only time I get anything other than ERR2 or ERR4 for body fat % or BMI is if I use the scale immediately after stepping out of the shower. I've tried dampening my feet and all the other suggestions but nothing else works.
When it does show a body fat %, the number is not even close to being accurate. I have calculated my body fat % using other methods and the Omron doubles the result.
I could have gotten a digital scale for weight only for a lot less.

It does not have Kgs by Sotos (Evanston, IL)  2 Stars
October 21, 2009
Although it looks like a solid scale (it is made by Omron, so it should be), it does not have the option for Kgs. Amazon displays this item together with HBF 500 so a lot of comments are addressed towards HBF 500. Thus it was really confusing finding information about the weight units. Also, I think you had to keep pushing the button to turn it on/off, although it could be touch sensitive but i never tried it. I returned it back and bought an Escali scale.

This is just what this offers and delivers and does NOT take medical or science training to use or decipher. A great bonus, is it is stylish as well !
