Doctor Explains: Assessing Body Composition (Body Fat)

Описание: In my last video I reviewed Body Mass Index (BMI) and promised to talk about the methods for assessment of body composition, specifically - body fat percentage (BF%). So today, I'd like to go over the plethora of methods we can use to regularly and reliably assess and monitor our body fat percentage ranging from free and not-too-accurate to some technologically advanced, very accurate, but hard-to-access and expensive methods. And of course, I will tell you which methods are the most appropriate for individual use.

PS. I also talk about it in my book "The Rational Diet".
