For Carl Franklin,
being able to see
his toes (thanks to
a reduced belly)
is better than any
food. Below right, a
"before" photo with
daughter Emmy.

Franklin says, "I was
a pudgy kid, and
in my teenage and
early college years my weight started to get out
of control. I tried to eat less and exercise more,
but that approach usually only works for a few
days-maybe a couple of weeks if your confidence stays up. You feel like you're battling your own body."
Franklin had some success losing weight with the Atkins diet in the late '90s,
but once he stopped it the weight came back, peaking at 366 pounds.
In June 2015, he got sobering news: He had diabetes. "My doctor sounded
like she was reading me a death sentence. She said, 'I'm really sorry. This is a
progressive disease. I'm going to have to get you on medication.'"
Inspired by the success of a friend in controlling his diabetes, Franklin began
strictly limiting his carbohydrates in January 2016. "It's not a radical diet," the
Connecticut resident says. He loves to cook, so he found alternative recipes
that didn't have carbohydrates.
At first, he turned to low-carb breads, and baked goods made with almond
AN 'INSIDE'
VIEW OF BODY
COMPOSITION
Whether you are beginning a weight
loss journey or are an athlete bulking
up on muscle mass, knowing your body
composition is key to start achieving
your healthcare goals.
"Routine methods of body composition measurement include skinfolds
or bioelectrical impedance scale
known as the Tanita Scale," says Nikki
Sarkisian, exercise program manager at
Community Hospital Fitness Pointe®.
"However, we now have an accurate,
convenient technology at Fitness Pointe
to assess an individual's percentage of
lean and non-lean body mass that also
targets specific locations, such as the
abdomen, thighs or arms."
The system, called BodyMetrix, uses
ultrasound technology. Accurate measurements allow for improved evaluation
and assessment of an individual's overall
health and more accurately identify
potential weight-related health risks.
"BodyMetrix uses a small hand-held
ultrasound wand that eliminates the
need for pinching or standing on a
scale," adds Sarkisian. "It also is not
dependent on hydration level, caffeine
consumption, fasting or time of day.
It is highly accurate and allows us to
better evaluate an individual's body
mass improvement."
