Reddit reviews Tanita BF-680 Body Fat/Body Water Scale

So I read the whole thing, and this is what they provide:

1. A completely standard body fat percentage reading (using an electronic scale) which you can probably do yourself at the gym for free, or like $5. All they do is estimate what % of your total weight is fat, and they aren't even that accurate.
   
   
2. A magnesium supplement, which is a muscle relaxant, and has literally nothing to do with weight loss.
   
   They're giving you an inaccurate $5 body fat percentage reading, and $10 worth of a completely unrelated supplement, for multiple hundreds of dollars.
   
   You can bet that this is just the beginning, too. Once the naturopath attaches itself to the gullible host, it sucks out as much cash as possible before the host inevitably works out that they're getting conned.

They're not expensive.

I've had this scale for 8+ years now: https://www.amazon.com/Tanita-BF680W-Scale-Monitor-Athletic/dp/B0009V1YPU/

(I'm surprised they're still making it, honestly... Manufacturers are always changing their line-ups. It's nice to see a manufacturer stick to a basic model for more than a few years.)

It's a good scale.

While you do this program, try not to focus so much on losing weight, but rather losing FAT.

I suggest buying a scale that measures your body fat percentage (here's an example of one). Then, just record your body fat percentage every week, and THAT'S where you will start seeing results immediately. As it has been said here already, you are very likely to see increased results in your weight because muscle (which you will be packing in) is denser than fat. Here's a picture to illustrate this:

Notice how much better she looks in the second picture, even if she is heavier. This is why YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST YOUR WEIGHT.
