It sends a small electric current throughout your body and somehow calculates it.

What I've heard is that fat is relatively non-conductive, where lean tissue -which is mostly water- conducts electricity easily. Touching the electrodes creates a circuit. The less electricity passing through the circuit, the fatter you are.
