Troubleshooting; Cleaning, Maintenance And Disposal - CVS BG 17 Instrucciones De Operación Y Seguridad

A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content,
whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.
• f your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or remains the same, I
you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid
weight loss.
• f your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then I
you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
• f your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously, then your diet is working – you are losing fat I
mass.
• deally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. This way you can I
increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.
• ody fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue also B
contain body water).
