Greater impulse control (withholding of a typical or conditioned response) was associated with greater aerobic fitness. Impulse control was not related to body composition.

    1️⃣ The Scale Cannot Tell the Difference Between Muscle and Fat

    2️⃣ Muscle Gain Can Mask Fat Loss

    3️⃣ Daily Weight Fluctuations Are Normal

    4️⃣ Strength Improvements Are Often a Better Indicator

  4. Dance does a body good.

    A small study of female college dance majors vs. non-dance majors found that the former had lower adiposity and conicity, and changes in the gut microbiome that were correlated either with adiposity or with muscle mass.

    I think a high conicity index might be even more traumatizing than a high BMI.

  13. I’m looking for a scale capable of measuring body composition. I don’t mind spending on it. I do mind if it requires an app.

    I just need it to tell me the vitals it’s measuring, not be “smart” about it.

    Edit: I might have found precisely what I’m looking for from Omron, $90 on Amazon.
