#377: The Real Reason the Scale Went Up Overnight (It’s Not Fat)

DESCRIPTIONA bad weigh-in can feel like all your progress disappeared overnight, but most of the time it has nothing to do with fat gain. In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening when the scale jumps, including water retention, glycogen, gut content, hormones, inflammation, stress, and inconsistent habits. We also talk about why weekly weigh-ins can be misleading, how daily weigh-ins should be used as data instead of judgment, and exactly what to do if your weight is trending up versus just having one off day. If the scale messes with your head or makes you want to quit, this episode will help you stay consistent and focused on long-term results.FIT40 LINKS✅ Feeling low on energy and out of shape but short on time?👉 Get the FIT40 Starter Kit here and start with short workouts and simple nutrition: https://fit40coaching.com/starterkit✅ Want a clear plan and someone to keep you on track?👉 Let’s talk about your goals and what you need in a Free Discovery Call: https://fit40coaching.com/discoverycallAFFILIATE LINKS:Try Tonal for 30 Days Risk Free: https://tonal.sjv.io/FIT40CONNECT WITH ME ONLINEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryan.fitzsimmonsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/coach_fitzz/⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@coach_fitzz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bryan_fit40 This is a public episode.
