Good question. Nowadays, there are a number of home tasting kits that can test body fat ratio. You can either go to your medical supplies store locally or just search online. One of those is the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis scale, but the best thing that you can utilize is what is known as body fat calipers. We won't go into the formula of how you calculate body fat ratio using calipers measurements, but what you do is pinch a loose piece of your skin on your different areas of your body and determine the thickness in millimeters. From this you will get the best and most accurate reading for body fat ratio. The calculation that you apply will account for height and weight and sex. Websites that carry out the calculations for you can be found rather effortlessly on Google. Just insert the figures and you're good to go.
In general just reflect about the way that you gained your weight. You didn't gain it overnight, it was a process of over the years at the fat cells accumulated in your body and grew larger.
