Short-term weight loss with a simultaneous increase in
the percentage of body fat are also an indication for the
sole loss of water. This could be due to diets or workouts
that target rapid weight loss without sufficient compen-
sation of water loss.
If possible, balance diets with physical activity such
as fitness or strength training to increase your muscle
percentage.
A medium-term increase in weight with a constant or
declining percentage of body fat indicates an increase in
muscle mass.
A decrease in weight and body fat while the muscle per-
centage remains the same or increases is indicative of
an effective diet or workout.
