How beneficial is it to aim for the number on our scale? Today we will prove to you that weight loss is not related to the health of our body. Fat and lean mass, body hydration, etc. contribute to this.
In short, a person can weigh 80 kg but have increased muscle mass and at the same time reduced fat, while another person can weigh the same kilos but have low muscle mass and an increased percentage of fat. Which of the two people is and looks healthier? Of course the first, the number on the scale never determines the health of our body!
Through a real case, we will show you the value of targeted fat loss, specifically visceral fat. Visceral fat is abdominal fat, the fat that builds up around our abdominal area.
Sex, hereditary and hormonal factors play an important role in a high predisposition to it. Men are at greater risk of storing it, while women are protected by oestrogen during their reproductive years, until menopause arrives and oestrogen levels fall.
However, high levels of visceral fat pose many risks such as:
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Hypertension
- Cancer, etc.
Case, 48-year-old man with increased cardiovascular risk:
As you can see from the Body Composition Analysis, in just 2 months he managed to lose 5.1kg of fat mass while simultaneously reducing Visceral fat by 2 levels. An important note, however, is the fact that he only lost 2.5kg of weight, while his muscle mass increased to 2.4kg. The result, as you will see, is noticeable!
Most important of all is the way his goal was achieved. A gentleman who had never entered the process of working with a dietitian nutritionist and due to working conditions consumed 1-2 main meals per day.
We provided him with nutritional education with general dietary instructions and at the same time he began systematic exercise using the latest technology machine. EMS Pro IV with an emphasis on the loss of abdominal fat, while through blood tests we identified its deficiencies and used powdered probiotics for even better absorption and the use of a personalized supplement HCK Vital Substance- Micronutrients.
Essentially, a healthy body does not depend on the number on the scale. A healthy body depends on the assessment of body composition (muscle gain, fat loss, etc.), on oxidative stress and its treatment, on the body's deficiencies in macronutrients and micronutrients, etc.
Through this whole process, we managed to bring the body back to healthy levels, nourished it with the right supplements and foods, and helped prevent cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and more.
To this day, he continues his training with the EMS Pro IV, while he occasionally consumes specific nutritional supplements in order to maintain his health at normal levels.
