The use of scales when it comes to fat loss 🧐:
Can scales be useful? Yes🙇🏻♀️ Should scales be the only thing you’re using to measure your progress? Probably not.😬 Let me explain why 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
When we think of weight we think of numbers, so it’s understandable as to why so many people rely solely on the scales as the best indicator of fat loss.
However, the scales only show a numerical value. It either goes up ⬆️ stays the same or goes down ⬇️. It doesn’t show you whether that was due to a loss/gain in fat, a loss/gain in muscle mass, water retention etc. Some people see drastic changes in their physical appearance without seeing drastic changes in the weight on the scale. Here are some other ways that you can also measure your progress:
• take progress photos
• take measurements with a tape measure
• Assess how you feel/fit in certain clothes compared to before.
Don’t let the number on the scale get you down, there is more to it than just your relationship with gravity.
Change my mind😬
