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

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
