At Medical Weight Loss Solutions in Connecticut, we use Body Composition Analysis (Body Comp Analysis) to provide a complete picture of your health beyond just pounds on the scale. Weight loss isn’t only about total weight — it’s about understanding fat, muscle, water, and metabolism. By tracking these elements weekly, we can customize your program, monitor your progress, and ensure safe, effective weight loss tailored to your body’s needs.

Why Body Composition Analysis Matters

While weight alone doesn’t tell the full story, body composition shows how your body is truly changing. These insights allow our medical team to help you:
✔ Track fat loss vs. muscle gain
✔ Monitor hydration and metabolism
✔ Reduce health risks by improving fat distribution
✔ Stay motivated with visible results beyond the scale

What We Measure During Body Comp Analysis

Body Fat Percentage
Body fat is essential for joint protection, vitamin storage, and temperature regulation. Too much — or too little — increases health risks.

Fat Mass & Fat-Free Mass
Fat-free mass includes muscle, bone, water, and connective tissue. Muscle is the body’s “fat-burning engine,” making it vital to preserve or increase muscle during weight loss.

Total Body Water Percentage
Hydration is key for energy, metabolism, and recovery, especially while dieting or exercising.

Muscle Mass
More muscle means higher energy expenditure and better fat reduction. Healthy muscle mass improves body composition and long-term weight management.

Physique Rating
Reflects your balance of muscle and fat. Even if your weight stays the same, improvements in physique rating mean better health and reduced risk of disease.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
The number of calories your body burns at rest. Knowing your BMR helps determine your daily energy needs and optimize your nutrition plan.

Metabolic Age
Compares your BMR to averages at different ages. A higher metabolic age than your actual age indicates a need to improve muscle mass and activity.

Bone Mass
Represents the weight of bone in your body. Maintaining bone strength through diet and exercise is key for long-term health.

Visceral Fat Rating
Fat surrounding abdominal organs. High levels increase risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions — making it important to monitor closely.

Body Mass Index (BMI)
The traditional height-to-weight ratio. Useful for risk assessment but most valuable when paired with body comp data.

Impedance
Measures the body’s resistance in ohms, used in calculations to assess body composition.
