DEXA data for Poppy

  Before weight loss After weight loss
 
Weight (kg) 5.90 4.55
BF (%) 31.6 15.3
Non-fat(%) 68.4 84.7
Total BF* (g) 1713 621
Lean * (g) 3597 3346
Bone min* (g) 118.6 102.3

Total weight loss = 1.35 kg (23% of starting weight)

 

Estimated total fat loss = 1092 g

 

Therefore, 80%of the weight lost was fat.
This means that Poppy has lost weight exactly as expected on a high protein diet (e.g. mean proportional loss is 80% BF / 20% NF).

 

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