Takeaways
The scale reflects the total weight of the entire body, including bones, organs, muscle tissue, body fat, water, and food.
Smart scales use bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure the flow of electrical currents through the body, but factors like hydration and exercise can affect their accuracy.
Body measurements are a more reliable tool for tracking progress, especially when focusing on body recomposition and changing the ratio of body fat to muscle tissue.
It's important to set a positive example for children by emphasizing health and body recomposition rather than solely focusing on the number on the scale.
Using multiple tools in the toolbox, such as body measurements and photos, can provide a more comprehensive view of progress and support a healthier lifestyle.

March 08, 2024 Episode 2: What is this macro craze all about, anyway?
Macro Tracking has been a buzz word in health clubs and fitness circles for a while now but, from what I have been told by gym members, potential clients, new clients and friends is there is still a great deal of confusion around this idea. With the great WWW being the information resource that it is, it is also a MIS-information, as well as overwhelming over-information resource. The general public struggles to decipher truth from hype, a sales pitch from REAL science and who to turn to or run from. What IS macro tracking? How are macros calculated? I have tried this before with an app and it didn't work, so am I broken? This episode will bring us back to basics a bit, providing a general description of macros, how the calories and macros are calculated and how to find the best way to start your macro journey.
