Beginner's Guide To Losing Body Fat

Food consists of three macro nutrients:

• Protein
• Carbohydrates
• Fats                                        
• Your body, after water, is mostly made of protein. You require protein every day, it performs literally thousands of functions in the body. It does this in the form of different combinations of amino acids, the "building blocks" of protein.

• BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

• MEN

  
  
  
  
  Multiply your body weight by 1.082, add 94.42 to the result, save this number and then multiply your waist size by 4.15. Subtract this result from your first number, this is your lean body weight. The difference between this and your true body weight indicates how much fat you have.

• WOMEN

  For women, the formula is more complicated and is as follows: take five measurements—body weight, wrist circumference at the widest point, waist size at the navel, hip circumference at the widest point and forearm size at the widest point.
• Now do the following:
  1. Multiply body weight by .732.
  2. Add the result to 8.987.
  3. Divide your wrist size by 3.14.
  4. Multiply your waist size by .157.
  5. Multiply your hip size by .249.
  6. Multiply your forearm size by .434.
  7. Add results 2 and 3.
  8. Subtract result 4 from result 7.
  9. Subtract result 5 from result 8.
  10. Add result 6 and 9, this is your lean mass.
