Many people think that a Body Composition Analyzer is just used to measure parameters like fat, muscle, etc. In truth, devices like InBody can many useful things to help you professionally. Have you tried working with ratios when developing a ReComposition plan?

InBody can accurately measure Body Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, and weight. Many clients will not have a weight problem, as much as a ratio problem.

Let's say the client (male) weighs 80 kg., but his proportions are less desirable. He has 55 kg. of Fat Free Mass & 25 kg. of Fat Mass. He will look OK, but he is actually a bit week, and bit over-sized on his Fat Mass.

With InBody you can develop a healthier, happier ratio that will help the client look better and feel better. You will be able to track his changes, until ultimately the golden ratio is achieved.

Most people intuitively know their ratio, but need help articulating it, setting it, and working towards it. InBody can do most of the work...putting the professional & the client in position to execute the plan.

To get gains, you must work beyond what you think is possible. And once it becomes possible, you use it or lose it.

This conversation happens multiple times per day. People, usually women, receive their body fat % and then promptly overeact.

Usually their body composition looks like this:

Height: 155 cm
Weight: 55 kg
Body fat %: 35

Clearly, someone who weighs 55 kg is NOT fat. There is a name however for what they ARE.

SKINNY FAT

What is 'skinny fat'?

When you reach an acceptable weight, the wrong way, this is skinny fat. Usually, a skinny fat person has a perfect BMI, but they got there the wrong way (this is one of the major flaws of BMI).

Inside your weight are two kinds of mass: Fat Mass and Fat Free Mass (Mass without considering fat). If you reached an ideal weight (based on height) in a non-ideal way, it will be counter-productive. BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) considers all weight as equal. But in health, all weight is not equal. Generally, we want to see a higher proportion of muscle against fat. This will automatically create a healthy body fat %.

In our example above, our client has an ideal weight, low muscle mass, and relatively high level of fat. She is 'not' fat; but too much of her 55 kg is composed of fat mass. Inside the 55 kg is too much fat and not enough muscle. In other words, though her weight is low, it is composed inefficiently. She needs a better composition, proportionately.

Skinny fat is technically called sarcopenic obesity. This implies a relatively high level of fat alongside critically low muscle mass. One of the challenges of this condition is that society considers this attractive, but in reality it is not an ideal body composition. People who suffer this DO feel fat, do not look fat, and the results confuse everyone.

One thing to remember, body fat % is not the same thing as 'fat'. Fat is measured in kg while % is a ratio of fat mass to weight which considers fat free mass % at the same time, inversely.

One of my favorite [innocent] questions that I get once a day:

"Is that DEXA?"

And my answer: "No."

So what is DEXA and how does InBody compare to DEXA?

DEXA is a gold standard device in body composition. It uses x-ray technology to measure bone density. Its accuracy is about 99% to actual body composition. The device is not dangerous, but it is not advised to use it daily (if you could), and to own one would set you back half a million shekels. Needless to say, they aren't common or practical. I always advise getting a DEXA scan once you feel you reach your body composition goal.

InBody is 98% as accurate as DEXA. I got tested on both devices back to back; DEXA - 20% & InBody 19% body fat. As you can see, the difference was minimal.

Is the goal to get 100% accurate results? Well, not really...not unless you want to be cut open and killed to find out what your body composition was. The goal is to get a deep understanding of your body composition.

InBody is validated against DEXA, so it would be impossible to be (or claim) more accurate than DEXA. However InBody scans give more data and more insight than a DEXA scan. This is why many professionals actually prefer to scan clients with InBody and discuss their body composition using InBody data.

One of the rabbinic concepts that works in fitness is "tzvei dinim"....one concept, two outcomes.

Fat is one of these instances. Fat is most specifically fat mass and confused with body fat %.

Why aren't they the same?
..because fat mass is the mass of fat in your body. % is a ratio of fat, weight, and fat free mass.

The simple application where we can really see the concept:

A small female of 50 kg is NOT fat, but may have a high fat % because her lean mass is low.

I get asked this question a lot: "What will the results give me?"

The answer is nuanced, but the basic idea is that InBody sees what you or others won't or can't see.

Some examples are:

Weak or undersized legs
Imbalances
Segmental fat areas
Relative muscle mass..and much more!

I know that my body perplexes me in many ways, and InBody gives me a constantly objective feedback loop. Using InBody I have been able to not only lose an incredible amount of fat, but I have used it to get lean and to build muscle.

InBody is designed to help you reach your fitness, health, and appearance goals.

Ok, here is my 'How to eat the perfect banana' tip:

Think about fish.

You know how fish tastes great unless it's cooked wrong, and turns out 'tasting like fish'...
..the same goes for a banana. If a banana tastes like a banana, it means it's not ripe.

*How can you identify the perfectly ripe banana?

It is yellow with lots of brown in the peel. Inside it will be perfectly yellow. Not enough brown, and it will taste like a banana, and too brown, it will have gross mushy parts.

Eat perfect bananas; a great way to get through your day. Eat as many as you would like.

And remember, if it tastes like a banana, it needs more time to ripen.

Enjoy your day.

People often ask me how I was able to lose weight, and the usual assumption is that I must have had the surgery. The short answer is, no, I didn't have the surgery. I used InBody, fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle/habit changes.

The picture I presented below is a great example of the reality of today. If you want to make a profound bodily change, you have two paths to choose from:

Pills & Surgery
or
Lifestyle Change

I think the best answer should be plainly obvious. What is not obvious, is that not enough healthcare workers are working hard to push the latter, and default to the former.

The message is simple: Your body/Life is in your hands, and you can make into whatever you want.

Don't look for the shortcut; you'll pay for it later.

Distance/Speed Running is an incredibly difficult sport/Physical Activity Level to incorporate into your life. Let's find out why:

The following make running hard:

Weather
Scheduling
Recovery
Injury
Mental fatigue
Sleepy (early morning/late night/
Time allowance
Nutrition/hydration
Etc..to name a few!

I, like many others, began running during Covid when gyms closed, and fell in love. Then when Covid passed, I realized not only did my life drastically change, but my new fitness schedule now needed to fit somehow into my new, much busier life. No longer did I have 24/7 for fitness.

In the middle of this, I moved to a location with a much harsher winter to add to the complications. My daily 10k quickly became my once in 1-2 weeks 10k; it just wasn't happening.

Once I settled down, I found that 4 am was the best time to get out, since my day didn't start until at least 6 am. But, with the change in schedule, I also found that I can be overall more productive at 4 am. Running took a backseat...again.

Today it all changed. I leveled with myself, and decided I would only run 5k for now on, and dedicate my long runs to 10k on those special days. Here us what I learned/realized:

I enjoy 5k much more
Recovery was super easy
Injury is less prone
Meditation was stronger
Mental fatigue was removed
I burned nearly 400 kcal
My PAL went up
Cardio was working
It was fun
And many, many other benefits
But the most important one...

Consistency. 5k is a run that I know I can be consistent with. 30 minutes, and your day moves on. It is a win-win.

Here's to 5k...a great way to enjoy the day.

Everybody:

1) Gets Stuck
2) Realizes it is because of themself
3) Needs to fix it

How many times have you found yourself stuck, only to realize you were sabotaging the process?!

When this happens, do not fret; take immediate action. Usually it is because you were not willing to go the extra mile.

These days I am stuck at 81-2 kg. I know how to go into 'Rambo-mode' to fix it, but I would like to find a smoother solution. The problem is 1 or 2 things:

Too many calories
Too little movement (PAL)
*Limited time & energy to invest

Let's I was eating an oatmeal breakfast everyday that I thought I could [calorically] afford, only to realize I can't. By definition mu body will not turn fat into fuel. It would be a futile attempt. You will not find the solution until you:

Come to a grip
Add up your energy in-take
Make the changes
*Get out of denial

Somewhere in our strategy is a flaw, if there is prolonged plateau. The real issue is, will you channel the inner-Rambo to fix it?

I must say, losing weight and gain muscle the first round was super easy. As a Rabbi, I could train as long as I wanted, when I wanted. I never looked back, I never had a bad day.

As great as it was,my experience wasn't a reality.

These days I work outside, often spending many hours a day in my car. The effort needed to succeed is real. I have just as many off-days as I have on-days. The struggle is tough.

All I know is, there will be ups and there will be downs; the journey is [now] much longer and convoluted.

My mantra is 'just keep going' as it is all one can do.

Training is the best way to get profiund results, but people have families, lives, work, etc. Fitness & nutrition for the working man is a work in progress...figuring it out one day at a time.

Yes, I know how to go hardcore and get results...but the goal now is to go slow, enjoy life, and execute along the journey.
..just.keep.going.

Bread is a controversial food...to eat it, or not to eat it, this is the question.

I am against bread for 5 reasons:

1) Bread will kill your budget. If you are in a calorie deficit, bread will take about 500 kcal from your already low budget allowance. It's not worth it.

2) Bread has no ROI. When you are in a calorie deficit, you need your food to work for you, not against you. Bread simply isn't helping your cause.

3) The key to a calorie deficit is high volume - low calories. Bread is low volume - high calories. It's too counter-intuitive to include in your diet.

4) Bread is highly refined, and thus like potato chips. One slice will lead to another. Are you really eating about 35 grams worth?

5) 35 grams...that is about the size of your portion. Carbs are not meant for big portions. By definition bread can't be the bulk of your meal.

Bread is simply not a great food. Yes, it has benefits, some of which are important:

Fiber
Energy
Satiation
Etc.

However, you can get the same benefits from other foods that don't have these 5 drawbacks.

You can either just leave bread out, or swap it with another food. Have you ever tried a lettuce-wrap burger? I highly recommend it (protein without the carb hit)!

One of the secrets to creating a healthy & sustainable Calorie Deficit is to base it on quality calories. A quality calorie is food content that works for you instead of against you.

Doughnuts are mostly refined carbs, meaning pure sugar, which creates problems for your body.

Veggies are also carbs, but they will contribute to your health.

If you can pick between 250 kcal of either doughnuts or veggies, choose the latter.

We all know you will want to choose doughnuts, so what is it that will influence our choices?

Taste and ease.

Doughnuts are easy to eat and taste great. Veggies are hard to eat and may not taste great; you'll choose doughnuts.

The secret is to learn how to make easy, great veggies.
..but that is a different post 🤔

Why is your principal your 'pal' - because he is your [princi-PAL]...most of us remember hearing this as kids.

Training is your 'pal' too...your P.HYSICAL A.CTIVITY L.EVEL.

Training can be boiled down to a few solid principles: smart nutrition, increased physical activity level, and consistency-dedication. Along the way you need important intangibles like habits, knowledge, perserverance, etc. The total package will have you in the greatest shape of your life.

The secret of PAL is to make a very real, significant change in your [physical] lifestyle. The ultimate goal is to transform yourself from dwelling in an inactive state, to an active one. Living an active lifestyle will solve your PAL issues.

In most systems, PAL can break down to 4 levels spanning 1-2:

1 - Sedentary
1.11 - Lightly Active
1.5 - Active
2 - Very Active

This list is arbitrary; there are many methods of calculating the list. InBody defaults to 1.11 and the goal is to elevate it to a higher, sustainable standard.

In short, your Body Composition will vastly improve with your improved PAL.

Do you want RESULTS?

I'm sure you do, but what is the 'best' way to achieve them? The answer is actually quite simple: TRAIN.

As I reflect on my fitness journey, I have come to the conclusion that I have very weak results outside of formal training. Covid only reinforced this realization; house-bound for an extended period of time and turning to training created profound results.

The benefits of a training lifestyle can not be denied. You will experience an elevated PAL, clear body enhancements & conditioning, along with a necessary nutritional improvement.

InBody (Body Composition) is not crucial, but it will guide you along your journey, offer validity, and create publishable results. For this, InBody [context] is invaluable.

You can achieve results without training, but the truth is, I never have. One need not train like a madman, but I do advise some sort of training implementation into your lifestyle.

C-FIT is my InBody training platform, designed to introduce training to people who can not train for a living. The InBody element compensates via data, allowing clients to target their weaknesses and focus on getting specific results.
