Your waistline measurement is a better indicator of body composition than measuring weight alone!
Studies show that carrying visceral fat around your internal organs greatly increases your chances of serious illness.
Large waistlines are caused by large fat deposits - not just under your skin, but in and around your vital organs.
If you measure your waistline (positioned just like in the picture left) then you will have a better indication of your current health than simply by your weight.
World Health Organisation and National Health & Medical Research Council figures show that there is increased risk of developing a chronic disease if you fall into the following waistline measurements:
- Men: more than 94 centimetres
- Women: more than 80 centimetres
Greatly increased risk
- Men: more than 102 centimetres
- Women: more than 88 centimetres

So, just don't rely on the scales - measure your waistline in conjunction with weight measurements to get a better idea if your training and your diet are working for you.
If all the numbers are going in the right direction then you are doing the right things!!!

Also consult a nutritionist if you have special considerations - but one simple method to eat more healthily is to simply have a good look at your diet and cut out the crap!
You know what I mean!
Choose, Plan, Act - Succeed!
