Why do people regain weight after stopping GLP-1 Therapy?
A common problem that happens after GLP-1 therapy (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc) is that people quickly regain weight once they stop the treatment.

Why visceral fat matters more than the number on the scale 🧬
Not all body fat is equal. Fat under your skin is mostly storage.
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.

What is body composition, and why doesn't the scale tell the full story?
Weight can't tell fat from muscle. BMI can't either. Every measuring method (DEXA, calipers, smart scales) is a trade-off between accuracy and convenience.
myBVI tracks shape and volume from two phone photos, consistently, over time.

25 years ago, 11,000 people were scanned for SizeUK, the world's first national 3D sizing survey.
That work helped shape modern retail sizing and led to the Body Volume Index (BVI).
Now the same technology fits in your pocket with myBVI.

Celebrating 25 Years of Size UK
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.
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.
