@the.living.room.pod: The number on the scale might be the least useful thing you're tracking. In this conversation, Dr. John Hawley makes a simple but important point: scales measure mass. Not fat. Not muscle. Not body composition. Just total mass. And that distinction matters more than most people realize. When someone is losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time, the scale can stay exactly the same — or even go up. Which means the number you've been watching might be telling you almost nothing about what's actually changing in your body. As Dr. Hawley explains, a DEXA scan gives you a far clearer picture. Fat mass. Muscle mass. The functional stuff that actually reflects how your body is doing. The scale isn't the story. Body composition is.
