T

he Thinner™Body Fat Analyzer can help in your achieving your phys­ical best by providing two critical estimates: BODY FAT
PERCENTAGE and BODY WEIGHT.

BODY FAT PERCENTAGE – WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Simply speaking, your body is made up of lean mass and fat mass. Lean mass
consists of muscle, bones, organs, etc. Fat mass is body fat. While everyone needs
a certain amount of fat to assist the body in storing energy, providing heat
insulation and other functions, most people will find they are at their most fit
when they increase their lean mass and decrease their fat mass.

While standard scales are useful in providing a measurement of overall
weight, they do not calculate the percentage of fat within the body. However,
the Thinner™Body Fat Analyzer allows the user to monitor both of these
important measurements.

BODY FAT PERCENTAGE – HOW IS IT MEASURED?

The Thinner™Body Fat Analyzer uses a technique called Bioelectric
Impedance Analysis (BIA). A harmless amount of a bioelectric current is sent
from the footpads through the body. This current travels at different speeds
through lean and fat body masses. The Thinner™Body Fat Analyzer's
microprocessor analyzes the degree of impedance, or transmission speed.

Taking into consideration the user’s height, age, gender and weight, the
Thinner

™

Body Fat Analyzer calculates the composition of the body. The
percentage of the body that is composed of fat is displayed on the monitor –
“body fat percentage.”
