info_outlineIn my recent solo podcast, I've delved into the complexities of maintenance and the persistent fear of weight gain reflected on the scale.
My aim in today's episode is to provide insight into the multifaceted nature of scale readings. It's essential to recognize that the scale measures more than just body weight; it reflects various elements such as water retention, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and bone density. By dissecting these intricacies, you can develop a deeper understanding of the fluctuations observed on the scale and adopt a more informed approach to managing our weight journey.
The scale serves as a tool rather than a judge, influenced by factors like late-night eating habits, protein intake, dietary composition, and other variables discussed in this episode. It's imperative not to allow ourselves to be overly swayed by numerical fluctuations alone.
Have a listen and please reach out and share your key takeaways from today's discussion.
