Customer Reviews of Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale
Customer Review: A great scale, a great cause!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this scale because I wanted to get a body fat scale first of all, but when I found out that they donate money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, it was even better! Having breast cancer effect my family was my strong reason to buy this scale and lend more support. The body fat feature is great, easy to use! Just a couple of buttons and I was ready. I may not like the results but it was easy. I also drink a lot of water so knowing my body water levels is also important. I must admit, I use the scale mostly for just the scale mode (I just step on it for that), but will do the body fat thing once a month to see if anything changes. I like this scale much better than my older one. My older one I had to press it first and wait before I stepped on it, which bugged me. I like just stepping on the scale to get my weight. I was researching scales in the stores and it seems that most Taylor models are like that. I saw Weight Watchers and Healthometer in the stores with a big red sticker to press on first and wait -- yuck, I didn't want that again. Amazon has such a good price on this scale, I had to buy it! And now, I am happy!
Description of Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale
Monitor your Risks -- Help Fund the Fight--Breast cancer touches almost everyone -- either with family, friends or co-workers. Help to fund the fight to find cures and treatments for this disease. With the purchase of this scale, Taylor Precision Products will donate $1 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. How can you monitor your breast cancer risks at home? Increased body fat has been linked in studies to an increased risk of breast cancer. Using this Taylor Body Fat Scale will help you to monitor your overall body health. By focusing on body fat, body water and weight levels, you can monitor your body health plus your risks of breast cancer over time. Taylor only uses bio-electrical impedance analysis, the most accurate home method of calculating body fat so you can be confident in the results time after time. Features of this product include: "Understanding the Risk" pamphlet *Measurement of body fat and body water to the 0.5% * Athlete or normal mode: Athlete mode is important for those exercising more the 12 hours per week *Simple scale-only mode * 330 lb x 0.5 lb weight capacity * Unique body fat and body water range graph * 4 user memories * Requires one 9 volt battery (not included) * 5 year warrantyThe Taylor 5571P PrecisionTech Body Fat Analyzer Scale measures body fat and body water with 0.5-percent accuracy. Designed with pink and white accents that show support for fighting breast cancer, this scale is built with four memories to store the whole family's personal data. The scale uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) to measure body fat and body water percentage. By using relatively simple technology, this scale measures electrical resistance (body cell mass is a good conductor, while fat tissue is a bad conductor) and capacitive resistance (created at the cell membranes of the cell mass). Then, the collected data is used to calculate the BIA.
So what does all this have to do with weight loss? Based on the data collected by this scale, deficiencies such as catabolism (the unwanted breakdown of lean muscle mass) can be documented, which is important to track during weight loss. When you reduce bodyweight, fat tissue should be reduced, not muscle mass. Thus, tracking your BIA is especially important when you diet because it shows "real" weight loss progress, so you're not just dropping pounds, but also burning away unwanted fat.
This scale does more than help you fight your weight loss, it also helps fight breast cancer. Breast cancer touches almost everyone -- family, friends, or co-workers -- and Taylor wants to help fund the fight. With the purchase of this scale, Taylor will donate one dollar to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Increased body fat has been linked in studies to an increased risk of breast cancer. Using the 5571P will help you monitor your overall body health, and, by focusing on body fat, body water, and weight levels, you can keep close tabs on your health and make changes to minimize your risks of breast cancer.
In addition to body fat and body water analysis, this scale also features a scale-only mode for basic weight measurements. It is accurate to 330 pounds, features an instant on, auto zero, auto off, and low battery indicator. All functions are powered by a single nine-volt battery (not included).
