Going on a diet is not just about losing weight, but also about how you lose it!

In the activation of the ketosis metabolic pathway that takes place during the Intensive Phase of Tisanoreica, the body is forced to make selective use of fat for energy.

Through the use of bio-impedance analysis precision scales, the change in fat mass can be precisely monitored and body fat composition can be monitored over a long period of time. In less than a minute, in a standing position and without any electrodes attached to the body, your Body Mass Index (BMI) parameters can be accurately measured.

The Tanita body composition monitor is another medically certified device that can measure your BMI automatically. This is the ratio between your weight in kilos and the square of your height in metres. BMI is the most commonly used index to measure if a person is overweight or obese. An individual is considered to be overweight if their BMI is greater than 25.

• Fat mass (FM):
  A certain amount of fat is necessary as an energy source and to provide protection for the internal organs. An acceptable FM is 15-23%, with respect to body weight.
   
• Lean body mass (LBM):
  This includes everything that is not body fat (proteins, water, minerals and glycogen) and an acceptable value is 77-85%, compared to body weight.
   
• Muscle mass (MMusc):
  This is equal to about 40% of the lean body mass. If you are doing regular physical activity and eating properly, your muscle mass is stimulated and will increase, leading to an increase in your basal metabolic rate.
   
• Total Water Content:
  The body's Total Water Content makes up, on average, 60-62% of weight in men and 56-58% in women.
  Total Water Content is the main component of MMusc. In a person with physiological conditions, the percentage of MMusc can range from 67.4% to 77.5% depending on age and nutritional status.
   
• Visceral fat levels:
  Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) is fat that accumulates in the abdominal cavity and around the internal organs. It is believed that VAT is more likely to cause lifestyle-related diseases than accumulations of subcutaneous fatty tissue (SCAT). Therefore, periodically checking the level and assessing the risk of VAT accumulation is important in the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases.
   
• Phase Angle (PhA):
  PhA is an electrical measurement of the distribution of water inside and outside the cell membrane. It is directly related to the integrity of cell membranes. In a healthy individual, the phase angle value is between 5 and 7 degrees. The phase angle decreases when the cell mass is reduced and is useful for assessing the body's nutritional status.
