Beyond Pounds Lost - 12 Metrics to Track for Weight Loss Success on GLP-1 Journey with Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound

Eric Eden Season 1 Episode 43

This episode explains how smart scales go beyond simply measuring total body weight by using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to estimate various body composition metrics. These metrics, such as body fat percentage, visceral fat, muscle mass, bone mass, body water, protein percentage, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), metabolic age, and Fat-Free Body Weight, provide a more comprehensive view of health than weight alone.

We emphasizes that tracking trends in these metrics over time, supported by consistent measurements and companion apps, offers more insightful and motivating feedback for individuals pursuing health goals, although it notes that BIA is not as precise as clinical methods and readings can be influenced by factors like hydration. Ultimately, utilizing these detailed metrics can empower users to make informed lifestyle decisions and focus on overall health gain rather than just weight loss.

We recommend two different digital scales - one at a lower price point and one at a higher price point with more comprehensive features.  https://glp1tribe.com/store
