156. Read the Scale Properly & Use it as a Helpful Tool

Not understanding the scale is unnecessarily hurting your progress and your feelings.  We have never been taught how to properly read our weight on the scale so of course we view it as "good" or "bad" or ruining our day.  In this episode, I break down the components that contribute to the number on the scale. The scale reflects much more than just body fat. We'll go over what aspects of that number remain constant, what takes weeks or months to change, and what fluctuates daily or even hourly.It’s important to recognize that the scale may shift daily, even if your body fat remains unchanged. Understanding this helps you identify real progress toward your goals while navigating temporary changes caused by water retention or inflammation.By learning to interpret the scale objectively, you’ll become more in tune with your body and better equipped to use the scale as a reliable tool for making adjustments and continuing your progress.
