BIA Analysis for body composition
BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) is the scientific analysis used to discover your true body composition: fat mass, muscle, and hydration. It is the essential foundation to help our nutritionist create a tailored nutritional plan and monitor your real progress.
What is BIA Analysis?
BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) is a scientifically validated, fast, and non-invasive technique that allows for a precise and in-depth measurement of body composition. By passing an imperceptible electric current through the body, BIA analyzes in detail the amount of lean mass, fat mass, body hydration, and basal metabolic rate, providing essential data for setting up highly personalized nutritional programs.
This scientific tool is fundamental because it allows us to go beyond the simple weight shown on the scale, answering the crucial question: “What is my weight made of?“
Session duration
A BIA analysis session lasts about 15–20 minutes, including an in-depth explanation of the results and the definition of recommended nutritional strategies.
What Exactly Does BIA Measure?
BIA analysis provides us with precise and essential clinical data to assess your health and set up a correct dietary plan:
- Fat Mass (FM): The total amount of body fat, to understand where to take action.
- Fat-Free Mass (FFM): The weight of muscles, bones, and organs, to be preserved and protected during weight loss.
- Hydration Status (Total Body Water): To assess water retention or dehydration.
- Basal Metabolic Rate: A precise estimate of how many calories your body burns at rest.
Why is BIA Fundamental to Your Journey?
Knowing this data is the only way to create a truly personalized dietary plan (such as a ketogenic diet) and to monitor progress objectively.
You might maintain the same weight on the scale but have lost 2 kg of fat and gained 2 kg of muscle: BIA is the only tool that allows us to see this crucial improvement and adapt the nutritional strategy accordingly.
