At 38 years old and weighing 175kg, Marcus knew something had to change.
He wasn’t looking for a miracle cure. He wasn’t chasing a fad diet or an unsustainable gym schedule. He just wanted to feel better—move more freely, sleep through the night, and enjoy everyday life without constant fatigue and discomfort.
And like many others who’ve battled with weight for years, Marcus had tried all the usual approaches—low-carb diets, gym memberships, calorie-counting apps. But nothing ever stuck. Something was missing: clarity.
That clarity came with the DEXA Weight Loss Bundle, combined with professional support from the team at BodyView, and the personalised insights of the BodyCompPro Report.
Understanding the DEXA Body Composition Scan
Traditional weighing scales only show one thing: your total body weight. But they don’t tell you what that weight consists of. Is it mostly fat? Is it muscle? Where is it stored? That’s where the DEXA Body Composition scan comes in.
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a precise, medical-grade imaging tool that measures and analyses:
Total body fat percentage
Lean muscle mass
Bone density
Regional fat distribution (e.g., abdominal vs. limb fat)
Visceral fat levels (the fat surrounding internal organs)
For Marcus, this scan was eye-opening. He could see exactly how much of his weight was fat, how much was muscle, and where the problem areas were. Most critically, the scan revealed he had elevated levels of visceral fat.
Why Visceral Fat Is So Dangerous
Visceral fat is the fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity, surrounding key organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat (the fat under your skin), visceral fat is metabolically active—it releases inflammatory compounds and hormones that can wreak havoc on your body.
High visceral fat levels are strongly linked to:
Heart disease
Type 2 diabetes
High blood pressure
Certain cancers
Fatty liver disease
For Marcus, learning he had high visceral fat was a wake-up call. It wasn’t just about appearance—it was about health and longevity. It made the consequences of inaction very real.
The RMR Test: Knowing How Much Fuel the Body Really Needs
Another crucial part of Marcus’s assessment was the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test. This test measures the number of calories the body burns at rest—essentially, the energy your body uses just to keep you alive (breathing, thinking, digesting, circulating blood).
Most people rely on calculators or estimations when setting their calorie goals, which can often be inaccurate. But the RMR test provided Marcus with hard data. He now knew exactly:
How many calories he should eat to maintain his weight
How much to reduce for safe and sustainable weight loss
When he was potentially under-eating and slowing down his metabolism
This personalised approach helped Marcus avoid the cycle of crash dieting and rebound weight gain that had plagued him in the past.
Exercise That Works: Discovering His Fat Max Zone
With the Vo2 Fat Max test, Marcus identified the exact heart rate and exercise intensity at which his body burned the most fat. This eliminated guesswork. He no longer needed to push himself to exhaustion to get results.
Instead, he focused on moderate, consistent movement in his optimal fat-burning zone—activities like brisk walking, cycling, and swimming, which became enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
Motivation Through Visual Progress: The 3D Body Scan
Beyond the numbers, Marcus needed motivation—and the 3D Body Scan delivered that in spades. These high-resolution images mapped his body in detail, showing changes in shape, waist circumference, and body volume over time.
Unlike the scale, which often moved slowly or fluctuated, the 3D scans gave him visual proof that his efforts were working—even when the weight loss was gradual.
The BodyCompPro Report: A Blueprint for Success
All the data collected through the DEXA scan, RMR, Fat Max, and 3D scan was compiled into Marcus’s BodyCompPro Report—a detailed, personalised document that turned numbers into actionable guidance.
With it, Marcus finally had:
His daily calorie target (based on RMR and activity levels)
The right foods to fuel his body and support muscle retention
The best heart rate zone to burn fat efficiently
A baseline to compare future results
A structured plan that made sense for his body
But more than that, he had something he hadn’t felt in years: hope.

What Happened Next: Marcus’s Transformation
With the support of the team at BodyView and the insights from the BodyCompPro report, Marcus began making steady changes to his lifestyle. He didn’t overhaul everything overnight. Instead, he made smart, sustainable adjustments:
He started walking 30–40 minutes a day, staying within his Fat Max zone.
He swapped processed, high-calorie foods for nourishing, whole foods that kept him satisfied.
He focused on preserving muscle mass by including resistance training 2–3 times a week.
He prioritised sleep and stress management, two underrated factors in weight and health.
What happened to Marcus when he followed this plan?
He began loosing weight at a safe and sustainable rate.
His visceral fat levels dropped significantly, reducing his risk of chronic illness.
His energy levels soared—he no longer needed afternoon naps or caffeine to get through the day.
His mental health improved—with greater confidence and a sense of control.
His mobility increased—he could climb stairs without pain and play with his children again.
Today, Marcus is continuing his journey—not chasing perfection, but embracing progress. He has regular check-ins with BodyView to reassess his body composition, monitor his health, and adjust his goals.
