Henry's weight loss regime and progress

Henry's measurements Henry's weight loss


Before Weight Loss - October 2005
Initial Weight 65.30kg



End of Weight Loss - July 2007
Final Weight 40.55kg


DEXA data for Henry

  Before weight loss After weight loss
 
Weight (kg) 65.30 40.55
BF (%) 53.4 31.6
Non-fat(%) 46.6 68.4
Total BF* (g) 34142 12509
Lean * (g) 28319 25922
Bone min* (g) 1467.4 1205.5

Total weight loss = 25.30 kg (39% of starting weight)

 

Estimated total fat loss = 21633 g

 

Therefore, 89%of the weight lost was fat.
This is a truly spectacular result since fat mass loss has exceeded the expected loss on a high protein weight loss diet (80:20).  Further, our results to date have indicated that dogs that lose a greater proportion of body weight overall, tend to lose more lean tissue; Henry has clearly bucked that trend!/

 

*Please note, DXA measurements are slightly lower than weight scales
