Ok, this is mainly to go over some facts about Bioelectrical Impedance devices since many of the other people reviewing dont seem to have a clear understanding.
Devices such as these measure someones %fat by sending a small electrical signal through the body, and when measured along with an individuals height, weight, gender, and age, it can calculate within 4% of what a persons %fat is PROVIDED that they follow certain guidelines. That is the trick with BIA, the person must have met certain protocols in order for it to be as accurate as it can (which can still be at best up to 4% off).
*****In order for BIA to be accurate certain guidelines must be followed: *****
----No eating or drinking within 4hrs of assessment
----Avoid moderate/vigorous activity within 12hrs.
----Void (pee) completely before assessment
----No drinking alcohol within the past 2 days prior to assessment
----Ingest no diuretics within the past 7 days of the assessment
This device works off of the principle that electricity travels faster through the muscles (which are highly saturated with water) than through fat (which is hydrophobic.... meaning it doesn't like water). So no, you would NOT want to drink immediately before or even kind of before taking the BIA if you want to get a KIND OF accurate result.
I am not a huge fan of BIA since 90% of the people you would be having them use it for would not meet the guidelines, but it CAN give you a ballpark figure of someones %fat *IF* it is impossible to get their body composition by other means (for example skinfolds... provided you are good enough at them). These are best used for the more obese clients, or ones uncomfortable with being administered skinfolds or (if you are at a facility that even has this kind of equipment) things such as the bodpod or hydrodensitometry.

We purchased one of these because we saw it on the "Doctors" TV show, however the BMI calc can be easily done using any online chart. The other reading "fat" is varible. Pass on this one.

I like this, it's more accurate than just watching your weight flucuate on a scale-it tells you if you're healthy, not just losing weight.

This is a great product! You just hold on and it monitors your fat loss or gain. It's great for those of us who need to stay aware of how we are doing. This gives you a baseline, whether it is 100% accurate or not. I recommend it.

Very easy and convenient to use. Like the fact that you can program your info into it. My husband and I use it. Much more convenient than setting up an appointment at a gym to get my bodyfat tested by someone different all of the time. Great product for the money.
