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. Theweakelectrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitoris calculated by a formula thatincludes five factors; electric resistance,height,weight,ageandgender. 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.

  Very satisfied August 18, 2008 I am satisfied with this scale. I am not looking for something too fancy and although it has more sophisticated options, it does just what I wanted it to. I would recommend it!
  Great Machine August 14, 2008 My scale arrived in about 3 days. It was simple to set up and I was weighing myself right away. The weight seemed accurate. The other functions I assume are working ok. The good thing about having my own scale with a body fat measurement, is once I get a baseline bodyfat reading I can alway refer back to this as the scale should read my body fat consistently. I am very happy with my scale. Also, great price. Much better than any in traditional stores.
  it's great and useful August 8, 2008 We bought this one for watching weight index every day. The whole family likes playing it. It's great and useful.
  Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale August 4, 2008 We have only used the weight part of the scale. It records fairly consistently, which is what we were looking for.
  Great Product! August 3, 2008 I love this scale! It is so easy to use and also provides everything you need to monitor your weight. I like the sleek and modern design. I have had several friends try it out and ask me where they can get one of their own.
