8 months since I started TRA

A few days back, I was at the Nuskin office with a friend, as she had wanted to get some stuff. Since I was there, I decided to take my own measurements. Having just gone through a busy earnings season (the very busy period), and not really watching what I ate (I was feeling a bit stressed, so I ate lots of comfort / junk food - Garrett popcorn, chocolates...and not to mention, results briefing lunches), I was wondering what my weight would be. Did I put on weight? Or rather, did I put on more fat...I did not go to the gym for about a month already. Would I have lost muscle mass? Hmmm....

Well, one thing was, I continued to eat lots of veggies whenever possible.

I usually try to take the measurements at the same time, each time (before I eat my lunch, around 12.30pm). This are my readings:
top left: weight; top right: body fat %; middle left: body age; middle right: muscle mass %; bottom: visceral fats level

All in, I have lost some muscle mass and put on more fat (in terms of absolute weight). But the good news is, my body age is now younger than my actual age! That is an improvement. In other words, the internal is younger (hence, healthier?)

My ideal weight is 50kg (for my height). I'm actually quite happy with the current weight. I don't want to be too light either. For me, what I like about TRA is, it also helps to shape up...not just to lose weight and regain good health. And if done properly (keeping to the TRA lifestyle properly), one is not likely to lose more weight than one should.
