As I mentioned above, body-fat percentage (BFP) distinguishes between the weight of fat and that of your lean body mass–bones, organs, water, muscle and connective tissue. But there aren’t any hard and fast rules on the ideal percentage of fat. Some say the upper limit of healthy for women is 32 percent; others argue for 35 percent. However, the location of the fat is probably more important than the amount of fat. Most methods of body-fat testing don’t reveal how much fat is located in the abdominal area and how much is located elsewhere. Excess deep abdominal fat, clumped around your organs, is linked to increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and other serious conditions, whereas ample hips and thighs seem to pose fewer health risks.
Note: As a measure of disease risk, your waist circumference may be more useful than either BMI or body-fat percentage. Women with a waist measurement greater than 35 inches are at higher risk for the diseases above, men greater than 40 inches, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Okay, let’s pretend your goal is weight loss. You start to eat better. You start to workout more. And now, after a certain period of time, you decide to get on your scale and see how much weight you’ve lost. How much progress have you made? Well let’s see what the scale says. According to the scale, you didn’t lose a single pound. Now you feel all bad and discouraged and think about changing your diet or workout because it’s obviously not working. The thing is though, that scale may be lying to you. Well, maybe not lying… maybe just not telling you the whole truth.
