Stupid question?


#1

Hi, ok here’s my past. I’m currently 55, I have had weight issues my whole life. I’m 5ft 3 and have lost 100 lbs 3 times in my life. Once at 19, and 2 other with both my children. So I now have another 5 lbs to loose before I’m at my ideal weight. Thanks to keto for the last 9 weeks. Here is the question, I have alot…ALOT of excess skin. How do I find out what my true body fat is, when there is excess skin?the app says I’m still 25 percent. I had skin removed from my stomach in 2001 and he removed 6 lbs.i had 2 cesarean sections. Could the app be wrong? And how will I know for sure?. Thanks.

How about a Dexa scan?

The waist to height ratio is supposed to be a pretty good guide, and you probably wouldn’t have to worry about the extra skin while measuring.

The process of autophagy (stimulated by fasting) is one way to get rid of it.
