FAQS: Questions and answers

1. Why should I measure my body fat?
　　Body fat scales give a more detailed picture of your body composition than simple weighing scales. They let you know if your body weight is made up of lean muscle or of fat. They also allow you to understand whether your diet or sports routine is leading to a loss of water or if you are actually burning fat.

2. Why should I measure my body water?
　　There are two main reasons for keeping track of your body water levels
　　　as following:
　　　　1) To find out if you are sufficiently "hydrated" .
　　　　Your body needs a certain percentage of water to function properly ,such as heat regulation, bringing nutrients to cells, cushioning 　　vital organs, etc. (Refer to manual for more info.)
　　　　2) To differentiate loss of water from loss of fat while dieting.

3. When should I measure my body fat/body water?
　　We recommend always using the same scales in the same conditions, once or twice a week. Measure yourself in the morning, preferably naked, when you are rested, not dehydrated and you have been to the bathroom.

4. The weight displayed varies.
　　The more precise a weighing scale is, the more sensitive it is. You must always place your scales on a hard and flat surface. During the measurement, try to stay as still as possible. It is perfectly normal to have differences up to 500g between two measurements . This can be explained simply by standing differently on the scale. Furthermore, the important thing is to measure long-term variations not the difference between the two measurements.

5. The body fat/body water result varies a lot
　　As for weight measurement, body fat or body water results can vary without the scale being defective. In fact , the scale is performing a very complex calculation based on several variables, if any of these changes, then the results can be difference. (Refer to manual for more info.)

6. The weight displayed is wrong / different with weight measured by my doctor.
　　Every weighing scale is calibrated differently and there can be small differences between the results on 2 different scales. However, if these variations are within 2kg, then the scale is not defective. The most important thing is always , under the same conditions ,weighing oneself on the same scales once or twice a week, in order to track long-term changes.
