Why throw Away Your Bathroom Scale!

It may seem hard to believe that the toilet scale can be your enemy in a low-fat life but if you are accustomed to measuring in the morning that leaves you feeling guilty, angry, depressed or depressed, it means it is worse than your enemy - Think about what happens when you step on that level of suspicion. Most of the time, it just brings bad news - that you have not lost weight or, worse, you are overweight. Sure, the numbers are accurate, but the myth they tell is not the whole story. Those numbers on your scale usually speak inaccurate facts. Your weight can tell you that you have gained 10 pounds, while in reality you may have lost 5 pounds [5 kg] of weight and gained 15 pounds of fat. When that happens, the scales give you the illusion that you weigh only 10 pounds [10 kg], when in fact you need to weigh 15 pounds [15 kg] of fat. On the other hand, the news may be better than what the scale says. If you are on a low-fat diet, for example, your weight may be as low as 7 pounds [7 kg] after three months. But in reality you may have gained 5 pounds of muscle and lost 12 pounds [12 kg] of fat, which gives you a net improvement in body mass that is more impressive than the scale tells you. Or the scale may be indicative of obesity while that weight is of whole body, heavier than fat. Not only do the scales do not care about the balance between muscle and fat, they can not distinguish between water weight and fat weight, either. An extra pound or two may just be wet and may disappear, a day or more. Of the reported 70 percent of all dieters who regularly weigh themselves, most forget that their body weight reflects a complex combination of water, muscle, fat, bone and connective tissue. The balance between those factors can vary from hour to hour, day to day, even when no fat loss occurs. What this means is that there is no reason to measure ourselves daily, or weekly. If you are on a low fat diet, you can actually gain weight (as measured by weight) while losing fat, changing body parts, becoming healthier and increasing your stamina. If you are a person who adheres to a mathematical progress test, there is still a measure you can do if you want, and it is much more useful than referring to a scale. Measure waist, buttocks, thighs and arms; they will all start to change as you lose more fat. Then check these levels every month or two for a simple indicator of your progress. The balance of your clothes is another practical sign of progress. You may want to try on strong jeans now, and put them on to compare them in the future. In short, just keep the scale of the bathroom invisible and inaccessible. You have enough stress in your daily life without a morning dose of guilt, doubts and a quarter of support Monday-morning.
