How much fat do you REALLY have in your body? Knowing could be the key to weight loss

Weight loss is traditionally thought of as a calories in, calories out problem.

For most dieters, as long as the number on the scales goes down, they have had a successful week.

But many fad diets only successfully get rid of water or worse, muscle weight.

Losing the number one enemy in the weight loss quest - fat - is much more difficult.

Most people don’t even know how much fat they are carrying in their body.

But there is a way to find out - the DEXA body scan, which will not only tell you how much fat you have, it will also reveal where the fat is distributed.

This is particularly helpful for those who are concerned about their waistline, as according to NHS guidelines, carrying too much fat in this area is dangerous.

A DEXA body scan, from £139, is a great idea for those who know they need to lose weight, but lack the motivation to do so.

The results of the scan show your body in different colours - blue for the skeleton, red for muscles, and orange for fat.
