Why visceral fat matters more than the number on the scale 🧬

Not all body fat is equal. Fat under your skin is mostly storage. Fat around your organs behaves more like an active organ itself, releasing hormones and inflammatory signals straight into your bloodstream and straight to your liver.

That's why two people can share the same BMI and have very different health risks 📊.

It's linked to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver and heart disease, and BMI alone often misses it entirely.

The good news: visceral fat is metabolically active, which means it tends to respond to lifestyle changes faster than your weight on the scale does.

INNOVATION VS INFRINGEMENT: WHERE IS THE LINE? ⚖️💡

Innovation often builds on what already exists. But when does inspiration, improvement or similarity cross the line into patent infringement?

The answer isn’t always as straightforward as comparing two products. Understanding the scope of a patent means looking closely at its claims, the technology involved and the specific features being assessed.

In our latest article, we explore where innovation meets intellectual property and why understanding that line matters for businesses of every size.

3 exercises that target visceral fat, ranked by the evidence

A 2026 analysis of 61 trials (4,136 people) found HIIT reduced visceral fat more than steady cardio, and at a lower weekly dose.

Combined training and aerobic exercise came close behind.

Consistency beats the "perfect" workout.

What is body composition, and why doesn't the scale tell the full story? 📱

Two people can weigh exactly the same and have very different health risks. That's because weight alone can't tell fat from muscle, and it definitely can't tell you where your fat sits.

Every measuring method is a trade-off: DEXA is accurate but needs a clinic, smart scales are convenient but shift with hydration 💧 The real key isn't finding a perfect number, it's tracking consistently, the same way, every time.

myBVI does this from two phone photos, giving you a consistent way to see your shape and volume change over time 📸

3 Things Your BMI Number Cannot Tell You

BMI can be a useful starting point. But it is only a number based on your height and weight.

It cannot tell you:

🥑 How much of your weight is fat
📍 Where your fat is stored
💪 How much muscle you have

That does not make BMI useless. It means BMI is only part of the picture.

Your body is more complex than a single number.

That is why myBVI uses Body Volume Index to give you another perspective, using body volume and shape to help you understand changes that the scales and BMI may miss.

Your BMI is one number. Your body is not.

Can two photos on your phone measure your health risk? 📱

Smart scales' guesses (accuracy can be off by 3 to 5 per cent compared to DEXA). Most body scanning apps guess too.

Mayo Clinic tested this properly across 1,280 people, and the method beat BMI at spotting real health risk. The myBVI app uses that same science, just two photos, front and side.

If it hasn't been checked against a real blood test, it's a guess with a nice interface.

Celebrating 25 Years of SizeUK

Twenty-five years ago, Select Research was commissioned to manage one of the UK's most ambitious research projects on body shape: SizeUK, the world's first national sizing survey to use 3D body scanning technology.

Working with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, leading universities and 17 major retailers, the project transformed the understanding of clothing fit by creating one of the largest and most representative body measurement datasets ever collected in the UK.

However, SizeUK was more than a milestone for the apparel industry. It showed that clothing sizes needed to evolve.

Between 1997 and 2001, SizeUK was one of the projects that our CEO, Richard Barnes had worked on, which inspired him to take 3D body scanning beyond clothing fit.

The result was the Body Volume Index (BVI), which uses advanced computer learning to assess health risks.

Today, the mybvi mobile app puts that 3D technology in your pocket using just your smartphone.

Swipe through to see how a pioneering project from 25 years ago continues to shape the work we're doing today.

What is visceral fat and why does it matter more than the number on the scale? 🔍

This hidden fat sits deep around your organs and plays a real role in heart disease, type-2 diabetes and fatty liver risk. The good news: it responds well to consistent exercise, a whole-food diet and better sleep.

Swipe through to learn what it is, how to fight it and how myBVI helps you actually measure your progress, not just guess at it.
