Hey Adam,

I'm interested to here your views on the Bodpod. I have read many articles about body fat testing and there have been quite a few studies to assess which is mot accurate and reliable. One of the most recent I saw used a group over 80 people and they compared, hydrostatic weighing (gold standard) with skin fold testing and then the Bodpod. They found that in most cases the bodpod added around 2% BF to people and in the leaner people it was sometimes as much as 3%.

Have you had any comparisons done?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew, I haven't had any comparisons done against the BodPod. I am thinking about an "X-ray" bodyfat test but I am concerned about the radiation.

You may be right about the BodPod, a few people have commented that Day 83 (mission 1) looked to be at least under 10% BF.

Cheers,
Adam Waters

What about the gold standard, hydrostatic weighing, no where near you that could do that?

Hey Michael,

I will have another go...still wouldn't work so here goes

Man the changes in your pics are fantastic, keep going.

I can testify to the re-feed method. I founf it worked great with some fantastic results for about 4 weeks. Then the body started to adapt to it. So in my experience I would use it for around 4 weeks or until the results start to tail off and then switch for a couple of weeks and then go back.

Let us know how you get on.

Take care,

Andrew
