Most of us have been there when trying to lose weight… following a diet to the T, only to get discouraged when the scale doesn't budge. But the truth is, weight can’t tell us everything about our health and can even be detrimental to our own body image. I know if I had let the traditional scale determine my own success, I would have stopped years ago.
While the diet and fitness world continue to be overly obsessed with weight, today we’re exploring why body composition, i.e. the breakdown of fat, bone, and muscle in your body, is actually a much better and more useful indicator of overall health. Join me as I encourage us to break free from the weight-centric mindset and learn how body composition tools can give us a more accurate picture of what’s really going on with our health.

“If the scale is not changing, but the inches are going down, this means you've lost fat and you've likely gained muscle. And that actua
