Omron Body Fat Tester

When one wants to lose weight, they often mean body fat. Measuring your body fat is the key in providing long lasting fat reduction. In order to ensure you are losing fat and not muscle, it's suggested you take a reading to determine your body fat percentage. This will give you an accurate number to base your calories and other macro nutrients on.

Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat mass in regards to total body weight. The weight that is not fat is necessary, as it's a combination of bones, muscles, organs, blood, and water. A certain amount of fat is needed to insulate the body and cushion the organs and delicate tissues. This is the reason that weighing yourself on the scale can be misleading if you are trying to shed body fat.

 

Find Your BMR

To find your BMR, you need to first determine your body fat percentage. Once you have that figure, you multiply it by your weight to get the pounds of fat you have. From there, subtract the pounds of fat from your total weight to get your lean body mass (LBM). Based on your LBM, you will need to determine how many extra calories you need a day to support physical activities, such as eating, working, working out, etc.

 

Body Fat Tester

The Omron Body Fat Analyzer can determine your fat weight, body fat percentage, and LBM. It's a handheld body fat testing device that provides you with your body fat percentage and pounds of fat in 7 seconds flat!

The Omron body fat tester is a weak, yet safe, electrical current that goes through the body. It's so weak that you can't even feel it. It measures the resistance the body gives as the current flows through it. Fat has little, if any, conductivity, and so this device can determine the ratio of fat to other tissues. This handy little device is one of my favorite body composition methods. It's about 98% accurate if you use it correctly.

 

Factors That Can Affect the Reading

Factors that can affect the reading are those with higher or lower amount of bone mass and water content. Such candidates are children, those who are ill, pregnant women, the elderly, and those suffering osteoporosis. Bodybuilders are among the few, but I have found a fool-proof method of making this little gizmo 100% accurate every time.

 

How to correctly use the Omron

To receive an accurate reading with the Omron, stand up straight with your feet about shoulder width apart and hold the unit directly in front of you. Your arms should be parallel to the floor. Don't grip hard, don't tense up, and don't stress. Remain still and press the start button.

Faulty Reading

You can get a faulty reading if you do not grasp the electrode grooves correctly, if your elbows are bent, if your arms are held too low or too high, and if you move during testing. Other factors that can affect the reading are dehydration, wet or damp hands, eating or drinking before the reading, unnatural body temperature from showering or working out, etc.

 

Accurate Reading

The best method for getting an accurate reading is to take the test first thing in the morning, before you do anything, even washing your hands. You basically have to roll out of bed and take the test.

 

Athletes

For those ladies who resistance train, it works best if you take a male and female reading and use that average, and take away 1%. For example, you are 130 pounds and you take a reading on the female setting and it reads 20.3%. Then, you take a reading using the male setting and it reads 16.1%. The average of the two is 18.2%. Subtract one percent and your body fat is 17%. With that, you know you have 22 pounds of fat and 108 pounds of muscle.

 

Class of its Own

What makes the Omron stand out from the rest is that it's easy and affordable, and you can take the test in the privacy of your own home. No going to the gym and having to be gluten for punishment. It can hold up to nine different member profiles and is complete with an athletes and non-athletes setting. With the Omron, all you do is put in your data, hold, press, and viola!
