The Omrom HBF-306C: A True Story of Fat Loss Monitoring

Once upon a time...I bought this thing to mess around with because I don't like having to ask the people at the gym if I can borrow theirs. And mostly I was curious how the thing worked (What happens if you say you're 35 instead of 31? What if you say you're 5'11" instead of 5'10 1/4"? What if you don't weigh yourself on the day that you test your body fat? What if you drink a glass of water right before you measure things?).

Turns out these variables matter a lot. A glass of water can add an additional 1 percentage point of body fat to your reading. Age adds body fat. Weight adds body fat. I forgot what height adds.

This thing works well, it's easy to use, and I enjoy seeing how much "fatter" you can get by chugging a lot of water right after you test yourself for a first time to establish a baseline. You can have contests with your friends to see who can become "fatter." I was undefeated in 2007 and won $625 competing throughout the year. No one else in my league won more money.

The only thing I don't like is that there's an "Athlete" setting and a "Normal" setting, and you have to figure out which one you are before you can measure yourself. They give you a formula to figure out which one you are, but I'm always on the cusp of both, and my workouts are always changing anyway. If you choose "Athlete," you're graded as fatter. If you choose "Normal," the computer thinks your thinner. The difference is about 1 percentage point.

You can also measure the body fat of other living creatures by hugging them while you measure your own body fat. You have to measure yourself separately too so that you can subtract yourself from the equation at the end. My dog, for example, is 7% body fat. I've got her on a treadmill right now. She wants to check in at 4% by bikini season.

YOU CANNOT MEASURE THE FAT CONTENT OF A PIZZA, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU IMPALE THE PIZZA WITH THE FAT MONITOR'S HANDLES! Pizzas are made of meat and fat and dough, but the Omron is designed to send and capture electrical impulses through meat, fat, and bone. It doesn't know what to make of the dough. You won't get a reliable reading.

I totally recommend this thing if you likes gadgets. I have a breathalyzer too. I recommend that. I also recommend that new movie "There Will Be Blood." Daniel Day-Lewis is in it. He plays an oil guy back in the early 1900s. I only saw the first 30 minutes of it because I had bought a ticket to another movie and I was waiting for it to start, but it was really good, the part I saw. I also recommend that you visit the dentist at least twice a year, and that you start flossing at least two weeks before your appointment so that they can't tell that you haven't been flossing all along. If you only start flossing a day or two before, your gums will be swollen, and they'll know that you haven't been doing it.

Great product for measuring both your body fat and body mass index. It is a great instrument in addition to the typical weight scale. Easy to use and read. Comes with a decent instruction manual with some great information on ideal body fat according to age and gender.
