Are You Losing Fat, or Just Losing Weight?

Did you know that two people can have the same height and weight, but very different percentages of body fat? We tend to think that "the scale tells the tale". But the truth is that some people may think they are overweight, when the amount of fat they have on their bodies is just fine, while others may carry hidden fat that the scale won't tell them about. Especially if you are losing weight, or exercising to gain muscle, it’s valuable to learn your body fat percentage.
