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.

They go, we haven't tested. I go, then I don't, how do you know? You don't know. You have no idea by just stepping on the scale what's happening here. You can't see under the hood. So we have to know our starting points. I mean, same with food. If you're going to be making sure that you're getting the right amount of protein and you have to weigh it, how would you know?

Even dieticians tend to underestimate what they eat by 25%. If they're not doing it, How does the average person have any idea of eyeballing how much food that they're eating, right? So in every one of these things doesn't mean you have to do it forever. Although I think we should be managing body composition forever. We should do that. That should be something that's just part of your routine.

And the research bears that out that those people maintain their weight better.

in terms of measuring your body composition what's available to us in the tools that are out there for first us to get a baseline and then track our progress along the way so the very best is cost prohibitive is would be an mri so the best i think for what we have is dexa and i mean those are so easy to get now and even if you just did it once a year

Think about like this used to be something you only did for bone mineral density and you didn't do it until you were in your late 50s, early 60s to show that you had osteoporosis. So it's like let's go see that the eggs are cracked. It's so ridiculous. You can't uncrack them.

So this is something that we should be doing in teens when we can actually start to make a demonstrable difference in bone mineral density. So if we started doing this, let's say someone did this in their teens and it was just part of the annual physical, like they did that, they did a VO2 max and some push-up tests, imagine how amazing this would be.
