A short YouTube video transcript of Ben Greenfield demonstrating and reviewing the Tanita BC-1500 body fat scale. The speaker describes that the scale measures weight, body fat, body water, fat distribution, and visceral fat using bioelectrical impedance, and shows how measurements are transmitted to a computer.
Hi, I'm Ben Greenfield. Welcome to my bathroom, where I'm getting ready to weigh myself. And today, what I'm using to weigh myself is not just any old scale. It's a Tanita BC 1500 scale, which is also why I have my computer on my toilet. When I weigh myself on this thing, it sends a message to my computer that that not only tells me my body fat, but it also tells me my weight, the amount of water that I have in my body, where my body fat is distributed, and it even tells me how much visceral fat I have, which, if you listen to my podcast over@BenGreenfieldFitness.com, you know is a big, big marker for chronic disease. So this scale tells you a ton of stuff, and it's super simple to use. It uses something called bioelectrical impedance. So I push get measurement right there on my computer. And now, with the magic of technology, it tells me to step on the scale. Once I step on the scale, I grab these bioelectrical impedance handles right here. I hold them out, then.
No, I'm just kidding. Bioelectrical impedance is totally painless. And as you can see, you get some great numbers. So check it out over@taneda.com. it's a Tanita BC 1500 scale. It'll give you a ton of information.
