While weight is a factor, it doesn&rsquo;t tell the whole story about what&rsquo;s happening inside your body. Body composition, which describes the proportion of fat mass to lean mass (muscle, bone, and water), offers a far more accurate picture of health and progress, especially when aiming for healthy weight loss. Understanding your body composition shifts the focus from simply losing &ldquo;pounds&rdquo; to strategically changing your body&rsquo;s make-up for better well-being.</p>
