They want to lose that visceral adipose tissue, right? So just simply having a tape measure. So once a week you do your waist and hips. So you have a waist to hip and a call waist to height measurement. And there is actually a Bluetooth tape measure by Renpho, $30 on Amazon. Greatest thing ever. It reads right into your phone. So you just do this every week.

That way you know if things are going in the right direction. So I say that first because what we measure and monitor, we can improve.

I don't know how you do this without knowing that. Like, the single most important thing... In a perfect world, we would not have scales. We would only have body composition. Because the scale has done so much emotional damage to people over the years. Now... I am 5'11", 6 feet tall, and I've been lifting weights since I was 16. And I remember going in and wanting to become a model, right?

And them telling me I needed to lose, gosh, I'm trying to think of what it was. It was either, it was like 20 pounds at least. And I look about like what I look right now then, right? I was a little, not as muscular, but basically I was about the same. I can't lose 20 pounds, right? It's not physically possible. I'd have to lose muscle in order to do it. And it messed me up completely.

And I know I'm not like... We have to know what our weight is made up of. And if we did that, if we used a scale as a biometric tool rather than as a mean friend, right? And we really had all the information, it would shift so much. And then you'd also be able to see what's your best body composition for you. I've always been a super muscular person. I'm an adopted gal.

When I met my birth mom, she had the same body type. That is our body type. I always wanted to be the curvy one. I'm not the curvy one. I could try as hard as I wanted. If I gain weight, I just get wider. I don't get curvy. Doesn't happen. So we all have to find that best body type for us.

And then monitor with body composition to make sure that we are holding on to our muscle to, as we know, like bone density is a lagging indicator of poor muscle mass, that we have quality muscle. Because it's not just about having muscle. You don't want fat infiltrated muscle. You don't want to be a ribeye. You want to be a fillet. And that our body fat is not dangerous.

There's a huge difference between having body fat on your thighs and hips and having body fat around your viscera, right? So we want to make sure that we have body fat in the right places. So we can't tell that with a scale. And I can't tell you how many people DM me on Instagram saying, well, this isn't working. I go, but you... you know, tell me what your body composition is.
