Weight loss with connected tracking

What does the Vita scale measure, and what does it not say?

Vita is a connected scale with 8-electrode bioimpedance, linked to the app over Wi-Fi, with multiple profiles so that each person in the household keeps their own history. It measures weight and estimates body composition, body fat, muscle mass and body water, from the body’s resistance to a very low-intensity current. These values are indicative estimates: they are used to follow a change, not to establish a reference assessment, and they do not replace an examination carried out in a medical setting.

Paired with the Elio band, Vita puts each weigh-in in the context of sleep, activity and recovery, and offers an indicative, non-invasive estimate of glucose trends. This is a prevention trend, not a blood glucose reading: Vita is not a glucose meter and is not suitable for monitoring diabetes, which is a matter for a medical device and a doctor. Vita makes no diagnosis, neither of overweight nor of obesity.

The Vita pack, scale and 12 months of Chutex Health, is offered at 199 euros including VAT in France, as a one-time payment, with no automatic renewal. The table sums up, for each measurement, what it is for in weight tracking and the limits of what it can tell you.

How do you track your weight week after week?

The Chutex tracking method sets neither a diet, nor a number of calories, nor a rate of loss: these decisions depend on each person and are made with a professional. It organizes the measurement and how it is read, so that tracking stays reliable, calm and lasting, in six steps.

In the app, free and compatible from iOS 14, Aria puts each weigh-in in the context of the history, tells a one-off deviation from a continuous change and explains it in plain language, without making a diagnosis. The longevity passport keeps the weight, body composition, sleep and activity curves, to show them to a doctor or a coach.

What human support for a weight project?

Chutex Sport entrusts your project to a state-certified sports coach, who builds a personalized program, a nutrition plan with, where appropriate, recommended supplements, and who remains reachable by messaging. The “body composition” goal is explicitly provided for: the coach adjusts the program according to the signals from Elio and Vita, sleep, recovery, activity, weight and estimated composition, and writes a structured monthly review. The service is offered at 99 euros per month including VAT in France, without commitment; it requires a Chutex Health subscription with Elio, with Vita remaining optional. It is announced in France first and will be available soon.

Chutex Sport is not a medical device and does not replace a doctor: the coach makes no diagnosis and prescribes nothing; in the event of illness, pregnancy or ongoing treatment, the project is discussed with your doctor first. Elio, a screenless health band of about 65 g (2.3 oz) with 15 days of battery life, brings to weight tracking what the scale cannot see: sleep duration and regularity, activity and steps, recovery, heart rate and heart rate variability. The Elio pack with 12 months of Chutex Health is offered at 264 euros including VAT in France.

The five devices do not play the same role in a weight project: Vita and Elio are at its heart, Model I is used for strengthening sessions at home, Elder and Dorsi meet other needs.

Do dietary supplements make you lose weight?

Chutex does not say so anywhere, and will not. Dietary supplements are foodstuffs, not medicines. On the website as in the app, only the health claims authorized by Regulation (EC) 1924/2006 and entered in the register of Regulation (EU) 432/2012 may accompany a supplement, with the wording of the register; no promise of weight loss is made, and no ingredient name is associated with a promise.

In Chutex Sport, the coach can recommend supplements as part of the nutrition plan; these recommendations follow the same rules, and the claims matrix used by Chutex is published, so that anyone can check what can be said and what cannot. The supplement catalog is not offered in the United States, and the catalog pages state what is available in your country. In the event of treatment, pregnancy or a medical diet, the advice of a doctor or pharmacist comes before any supplement.

What this tracking does not do

Saying what you do not do protects against empty promises. The limits below apply to this page, to the devices and to Chutex Sport, in every language of the website.

• It is not a medical weight-loss program: Chutex prescribes neither a diet, nor a calorie deficit, nor a rate of loss, and promises no result.
• No device makes a diagnosis, neither of overweight, nor of obesity, nor of an eating disorder, nor of diabetes; these diagnoses are a matter for a doctor.
• Vita gives indicative estimates of body composition, not reference measurements; they are read as a trend, under the same weighing conditions.
• Vita is not a glucose meter: the estimate of glucose trends with Elio is indicative and non-invasive, it does not measure blood glucose and is not suitable for monitoring diabetes.
• A weight-loss plan is discussed with a doctor, in particular in the event of illness, pregnancy, ongoing treatment or unintended weight loss.
• No dietary supplement is presented as a weight-loss product: only the claims authorized by the European regulations are used.
• Chutex Sport is neither Chutex Care nor Chutex Physio: it is support from a sports coach, not telecare or follow-up by a physiotherapist, and it does not replace a doctor.
