To verify the weight loss resulting from a largely fat free diet over the last few months, I invested in a 70p Boots Body Fat test. Alarmingly, my body fat ratio was evaluated at 41.9%, which according to this scale, makes me wantonly obese.

Essential fat 2–5%
Athletes 6–13%
Fitness 14–17%
Acceptable 18–25%
Obese 25%+
