Tanita's full line
of Bathroom Scales,
Scale plus Body Fat Monitors and Handheld products
KNOW YOUR WEIGHT AND BODY FAT %
Ordinary bathroom scales measure only one thing--weight. They can't distinguish between pounds that come from fat and pounds that come from muscle. The Tanita Scale plus Body Fat Monitor lets you monitor both weight and body fat percentage in the comfort of your home.

Losing Weight Can Make You Fatter "A" and "B" were the same height, weight and had the same percentage of body fat. Each lost 10 lb over the same period of time. Although their weights are identical, "A" is now fatter. She simply cut calories, resulting in loss of muscle tissue, meaning her percentage of body fat increased. By combining a low-fat diet with a program of exercise, "B" lost 10 lb and her body fat dropped to 21%. |
It's Important to Know Your Body Fat
It's not the amount of weight you have but the
amount of body fat that's potentially dangerous to
your health.
Carrying too much body fat can increase your risk of developing serious health problems such as high-blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage can reduce your risk and help prevent the onset of these conditions.
Until now, getting a body fat reading has been expensive and time-consuming, usually conducted only though medical and athletic facilities--or simply left to guesswork.
FIND OUT IF YOU'RE ON TRACK
Tanita has re-invented BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis)--one of the most reliable methods of determining body composition--and made it available for home use.
An electrode built into Tanita's patented "foot-pad" sends a safe, low-level signal through a person's body. BIA analyzes the strength and speed at which the signal passes through muscle and fat. The more muscle, the more efficiently the signal passes. It factors in gender, height and weight to increase the accuracy of the reading. Tanita's BIA method is a totally new all-in-one process that is accurate, convenient and fast.
