Weighing is a distressing and painful experience for those who are overweight. Scale up the nerve and find that they have not achieved desired suffer great frustration and anger. His greatest desire becomes his worst tormentor.
Unfortunately the medical community wrongly insisted for years to take into account the scale and try to reduce weight, if this makes no sense.

The scale also has a black background in the murky history of obesity treatments. Millions around the world have been punished (and still do) for the results obtained in the scale. Pay little attention to their weight and more interest to the circumference of your body.

The biggest drawback there is that the scale has low specificity.
Specificity is a term frequently used in medicine and its meaning is the following: the ability of a study to accurately define or diagnose any disease.

For example, the thermometer is not very specific. We can not tell if someone has a fever because you are infected, recently presented a cerebral hemorrhage, have developed some form of cancer, or is an allergic reaction.
The weight is changed for many reasons that have nothing to do with reducing or increasing body fat. I will present some examples to explain this situation:
EXAMPLE 1: A distraught woman decides to be weighed daily to know exactly when to start getting fat. Finds, with surprise, that despite care in an exaggerated way, you gain weight in their menstrual cycle. Decided wrongly punished are getting fatter and even more your diet, when the real cause of the increase is menstruation.

EXAMPLE 2: A couple decides to vacation in a warm place and notes that after two days increases by two pounds. Start a diet full reduction in rental, even though her clothes still remains the same. She does not know that any increase in temperature favors accumulation of water with no weight gain and increased body fat.

Example 3: A young man decides to take care of yourself with exercise and was disappointed to realize that instead of losing weight is rising. In nothing is the explanation of the coach who says the increase is due to increased muscle and even though your clothes fit looser, decided to suspend the exercise not to continue gaining weight.

EXAMPLE 4: A young woman goes to a party, where you take two glasses of alcoholic beverages. Notes horrified that after 48 hours up to two kilos of weight and decided to go on a diet to eliminate what has risen. She does not know that alcohol consumption favors temporary retention of fluids and do not increase body fat.

Example 5: A woman decides to go with the fashionable doctor to lose weight and out of the office with a bag full of pills, drops and powders. From day one note to be run to the bathroom every half hour and the scale clearly shows he has lost 4 or 5 pounds. Ignored their urgent needs to go to the bathroom and continued with his treatment, without realizing it, or worse, deceiving themselves into believing that weight loss is fat reduction, not elimination of water caused by a diuretic.

Example 6: A man accustomed yourself with diets lower in sugars. On one occasion, making a dessert and the next day is increased by two pounds. Incorrectly concluded (despite his clothes being remains the same) to 100 grams of cake have become two kilograms of fat. He does not know that diets low in sugar content so dehydrated that taking one and recovered 2 kg of sugar water and not body fat.
The scale does not precisely define the increase or decrease body fat. Worse, does not determine how much excess we have. Get on the scale to weigh fat, muscle, water, bone and viscera. We can not know how much of our weight for each one of them.
Excess fat is more precisely define the measuring tape to measure the abdomen and hip circumferences.
The martyrdom led to weigh not only unnecessary, it is also unrealistic to think that the scale can tell us how much we have lost or retain fat diets.

If an individual muscle up as fat can be removed to gain weight and should not be interpreted as poor performance or increased obesity. If weight loss may be due to muscle and not fat.

Losing weight often means that there is a disease.
Torture, sadness, anxiety or possibly happiness we experience the ever pesarnos is related to the fat in your body.
Is it worth it weigh? If done correctly, can serve as one of many indicators to clarify the changes generated by the diets.
body through which the medicine is called anthropometry. This is a contrived word for a relatively simple measurement of body with tape. If at some point in their life has gone to a tailor to fix an item you already know the anthropometry.
Anyone with a genuine interest in reducing excess fat (and not only be deceiving you want to) must learn to measure their circumferences of the body.
