A method and apparatus for inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a users body without complex circuitry. An apparatus is described for inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a users body, wherein the apparatus includes a number of first inductors being adapted to induce an alternating magnetic field in the users body and the apparatus further includes a number of second inductors being adapted to measure a secondary magnetic field in the users body, wherein each of the number of first inductors overlaps at least one of the number of second inductors to form a number of measuring areas.
