GARY’S STORY
If you’re unsure how a DEXA scan can help you track and measure your progress, then buckle in.
“I have had four body scans so far and I find them very helpful. Although my body weight has only changed by 5.3 Kg since my first scan in Aug ‘21, the scans reveal that I have grown 6.69 Kg lean mass and shed 12.1 Kg of body fat during that same period.
…I should reach my goal of being under 20% body fat by the last week in June this year, if everything continues as planned. These numbers give me the motivation to continue to diet strictly and exercise and without this information I would feel very disconnected and probably loose interest.
I am no longer taking medication for type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol”.
There is much more to weight loss than the number of the scales. DEXA is a great tool for monitoring body composition and allows you to set goals aside from a number on the scales, such as reducing your body fat percentage or visceral fat content, or increasing the amount of lean mass in your body.
