Healthcare experts are resoundingly clear when it comes to rapid weight loss. It is not only ineffective long term, but also places your body under observable stress leading to an array of health risks: ranging from decreased energy to more serious implications such as osteoporosis. The safest and most effective method of weight loss is to lose weight gradually over time.

How to lose weight gradually
If you’ve struggled to sustain steady weight loss, it may be time for a more targeted approach. A DEXA body composition scan is a form of body fat calculator that provides a fat mass index and a lean mass index. Essentially, this X-Ray scan gives you an overview of your body composition from which you can formulate specific fat loss or muscle gain targets. It also provides you with other key metrics for weight loss such as your daily calorie requirement as well as suggested calorie deficits that will help you to achieve your goals. Crucially, all of this information can be drawn upon to create an achievable and healthy framework specifically for your weight loss journey.
