| 0:00.0 | To this live Q&A, I have excellent questions to answer, and I can't fit that in. |
| 0:06.3 | So I'll just crack on, and maybe I'll stay for like 20 minutes or so, depending on how good the questions are. |
| 0:15.4 | Okay, boom, here we go. |
| 0:18.7 | Are body analyzer scales accurate re-muscle slash fat percentage? Thank you. |
| 0:26.4 | No. I mean, sometimes if you keep everything as consistent as possible, they might be |
| 0:32.1 | consistently inaccurate. But so much of this is based on hydration levels. So if you drink more water, then it will |
| 0:40.1 | show a different body fat percentage compared to muscle mass, which obviously has not changed |
| 0:45.9 | based on drinking water. So they're not massively accurate, no, and most people don't keep |
| 0:49.9 | enough things consistent for them to be useful, so I wouldn't be using them. |
| 0:56.2 | Yeah, there's not really a readily available way of accurately measuring exact body composition, |
| 1:05.8 | nor do you need to measure it particularly. After a while, it'll be quite obvious that what |
| 1:10.5 | you're doing |
| 1:10.8 | is working and you're losing fat and building muscle so i'd focus on the actions and the outcome |
| 1:15.5 | will take care of itself focusing too much on the outcome not not a good way to do things and is |
| 1:21.6 | often quite demotivating okay do you run much if so, any benefits for weight loss? I personally don't run very much because it's quite a lot of the impact, you know, on the old crushed discs or not particularly happy discs in my back. So it's not something I do a lot of. The impact on weight loss now |
| 1:45.8 | obviously running if people didn't know this actually does expend some calories so |
| 1:52.7 | it would potentially all things being equal have an impact on weight loss. I actually just |
| 1:59.8 | had this discussion with Chloe on that you see live and you should go |
| 2:05.0 | and have listened to that when I remember to put it up on the podcast because it was, |
| 2:08.8 | we probably spoke about it more articulately than I am about to do because I've just been on |
| 2:14.6 | three calls. |
| 2:15.1 | But I would be thinking about all of your exercise as ways |
