Not if it's temporary. They drink it back, afterwards.

Overfat? Getting into physical shape might mean gaining weight. Muscle is denser than fat.

What is the significance of that number, 100? What if you lost a little weight, and then reassessed? How do you know that target is a good target?

Inactivity is a health risk.
