I&#8217;m going to talk a little bit about,<br \/>\nhow to use a scale<br \/>\nto accurately gauge your progress,<br \/>\nwhile at the same time,<br \/>\nnot getting too overly involved with those numbers.<br \/>\nNow, I&#8217;d like to first start by thanking everyone<br \/>\nfor the tremendous support that we&#8217;ve had so far<br \/>\nwith this channel.<br \/>\nAnd do know that I&#8217;m going to<br \/>\nbe consistently making new content,<br \/>\nso do be sure to like the videos,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s really important, it does make a difference<br \/>\nand also subscribe so you&#8217;ll

Progress<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So, onto today&#8217;s topic,<br \/>\nwhich is, how do you use a scale<br \/>\nin a way that&#8217;s healthy.<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m going to start with a bit of a caveat.<br \/>\nI do not recommend that people use a scale<br \/>\non a daily basis.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t even think you should probably use it<br \/>\nmore than once a week, if at all.<br \/>\nUnless you are a competitive athlete getting ready<br \/>\nfor a bodybuilding competition or some type of event<br \/>\nthat requires a body weight cutoff.<br \/>\nOther than that, I&#8217;m not really 100%<br \/>\nbehind the idea of using a scale<br \/>\ndaily to track your progress.<br \/>\nBut at the same time,<br \/>\nthere is the importance of what I consider harm reduction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I could sit here and say, you shouldn&#8217;t use a scale.<br \/>\nYou should just use the mirror, just use how you feel.<br \/>\nAnd that is true.<br \/>\nAnd that is really and truly what I think, ideally,<br \/>\nyou should be doing.<br \/>\nBut I also understand that I have to be realistic<br \/>\nand I have to make sure that my message<br \/>\nis one that not only appeals to everyone,<br \/>\nbut also addresses where everyone is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For some people, a scale can be a very important gauge<br \/>\nof where they are.<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s important to address that.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s also important to address that someone&#8217;s not going to<br \/>\ngo from weighing themselves every single day<br \/>\nto just suddenly not weighing themselves anymore<br \/>\nor attaching certain feelings,<br \/>\ncertain numbers from that scale.<br \/>\nBut today, I&#8217;m going to talk a little bit about<br \/>\nhow you can use a scale in a safe<br \/>\nand effective way that will be helpful to you,<br \/>\nbut will also not necessarily bring down your self-image,<br \/>\nnot make you feel miserable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3197\"

style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">What A Scale Can Do And What It Can&#8217;t Do<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So we&#8217;re going to start by talking about<br \/>\nwhat a scale can do and what a scale can&#8217;t do.<br \/>\nFirst and foremost, a scale can tell you how much you weigh.<br \/>\nWe all know that it&#8217;s pretty obvious.<br \/>\nThe problem is, how much you weigh<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t necessarily the most accurate way of gauging<br \/>\nand benchmarking your progress.<br \/>\nNow, if you&#8217;re trying to lose weight<br \/>\nand you&#8217;re lifting weights, for example,<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re lifting weights so you&#8217;re building muscle.<br \/>\nAt the same time, you&#8217;re also losing body fat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A scale can give you<br \/>\nan accurate reading as to how much physical pounds<br \/>\nor kilograms that you may have lost over time.<br \/>\nBut it&#8217;s not going to tell you much<br \/>\nabout your body composition.<br \/>\nFor example, very often with my clients,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll have clients typically lose,<br \/>\nfive to six pounds within their first four to six weeks<br \/>\nof initially starting training with me.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s more or less what most people will see.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t mean that they lost six pounds of fat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Not what happened.<br \/>\nIt only means that their weight changed by six pounds.<br \/>\nNow, during that period of time,<br \/>\nespecially if it&#8217;s a situation<br \/>\nwhere they&#8217;re just getting started<br \/>\nwith any kind of weight training or resistance training,<br \/>\nthere is going to be an increase in muscle mass.<br \/>\nA scale can&#8217;t detect what&#8217;s muscle mass increase<br \/>\nand what&#8217;s body fat decrease.<br \/>\nIt can only detect what your overall difference<br \/>\nin body weight can be.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How To Use A Scale In Conjunction with Clothing Fit To Track Muscle Mass &amp; Body Fat Changes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So keep that in mind and what I tell people to do,<br \/>\nif they are using a scale, is to use it in conjunction<br \/>\nwith how your clothes fit.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t like measuring tapes<br \/>\nand you can probably tell that I&#8217;m not really big<br \/>\non the whole measuring thing,<br \/>\nbecause I think it&#8217;s important<br \/>\nfor a sustainable fitness lifestyle<br \/>\nthat you focus more on process,<br \/>\nmore than those numbers, cause those numbers<br \/>\nare going to really get you down, sometimes.<br \/>\nBut focus on your clothing,<br \/>\nfocus on how your clothing fits,<br \/>\nespecially around the waist.<br \/>\nIf you get to a point where<br \/>\nyou start seeing the numbers on the scale<br \/>\nslightly moving up, slightly moving up,<br \/>\nbut you feel around your waist that things<br \/>\nare a little bit looser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">That&#8217;s not a sign that you need to do anything radical<br \/>\nwith your diet, it could be a sign, always could,<br \/>\nthat you&#8217;re gaining muscle mass while losing body fat.<br \/>\nNow, most of us hold a lot of body fat in our center areas.<br \/>\nAnd so it makes sense and what is typically seen<br \/>\nwith my clients or what I usually see with people<br \/>\nthat I work with, in general,<br \/>\nis that you can build muscle<br \/>\nwhile watching your clothing sizes go down<br \/>\nand the numbers on the scale going up.<br \/>\nSo just because the numbers on the scale go up,<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that something is tragically wrong<br \/>\nand you need to, you know, feel horrible<br \/>\nor give up or become frustrated.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s not how it works.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Best Time To Weigh Yourself<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There can also be a lot of very major events<br \/>\nthat can happen over the course of a day<br \/>\nthat can change those weights.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s important also to remember<br \/>\nthat your body weight can fluctuate tremendously<br \/>\nover the course of the day,<br \/>\nas you eat your body retains more and more fluid,<br \/>\nso you tend to find the combination<br \/>\nof the solid food you&#8217;re eating<br \/>\nand the fluid retention that you&#8217;re going to have naturally<br \/>\nover the course of a day.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s going to make it such<br \/>\nthat your weight first thing in the morning<br \/>\nis not going to be your body weight<br \/>\nlast thing at the end of the day,<br \/>\nor even in the middle of the day.<br \/>\nMost people will talk about how fantastic they look<br \/>\nfirst thing in the morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s always that first thing in the morning<br \/>\nphotograph people like to post on Instagram,<br \/>\nand then they talked about how bloated<br \/>\nthey feel later on in the day.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s nothing wrong with that.<br \/>\nIf the scale numbers go up over the course of a day,<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s nothing wrong with that.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s totally natural.<br \/>\nI, for example, I start my day<br \/>\nat\/or around 205 to 203 pounds.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s my weight fluctuations more or less.<br \/>\nI can end the day sometimes weighing<br \/>\nas much as 208 to 209 pounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I don&#8217;t get upset.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t get worried.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s supposed to be that way.<br \/>\nNow, normally my weight fluctuations<br \/>\nis only about three, four pounds.<br \/>\nI eat a lot of food and the combination of the food<br \/>\nand the fluid I take in.<br \/>\nI drink anywhere from a gallon and a half<br \/>\nto sometimes almost two gallons of water a day,<br \/>\ndepending on my activity levels.<br \/>\nSo I should expect to see an increase<br \/>\nin my body weight over time,<br \/>\nover the course of a day.<br \/>\nAnd while mine might not be a typical example,<br \/>\neveryone is going to expect,<br \/>\nshould expect to see that change.<br \/>\nSo if you&#8217;re weighing yourself and you&#8217;re accustomed<br \/>\nto being a certain weight and you weigh yourself<br \/>\nat the end of the day,<br \/>\nand you find yourself that you&#8217;re a little heavier<br \/>\nthan you think you should be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Don&#8217;t think that that&#8217;s an accurate measurement.<br \/>\nIt has to be first thing in the morning before breakfast<br \/>\nand always weigh yourself at the same time before breakfast,<br \/>\nbefore eating anything, first thing in the morning,<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s the only way you&#8217;re going to have any kind<br \/>\nof accuracy in gauging any progress that you&#8217;re making<br \/>\nor it being, more accurately, one of the gauges<br \/>\nof the progress that you&#8217;re making.<br \/>\nThe other consideration that you have to really bear in mind<br \/>\nis that I mentioned water retention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How Water Retention Can Drastically Change The Numbers On The Scale<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Water retention can be tremendously drastic<br \/>\nin terms of how it affects those numbers on the scale.<br \/>\nIf you, like me, follow a predominantly<br \/>\nlower sodium intake on a regular basis,<br \/>\nand you have, or encounter a food<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s really high in sodium,<br \/>\nyou could find your body retaining a lot<br \/>\nof extra cellular fluid as a result.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Now how much water you hold<br \/>\nas a result of your sodium intake,<br \/>\ndepends on how much sodium you take in.<br \/>\nDepends on how much sodium you&#8217;re not used to taking in.<br \/>\nIt depends on how long a period<br \/>\nyou were taking in that sodium.<br \/>\nFor example, when I travel,<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t always have 100% control over my meals.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t cook everything when I&#8217;m traveling,<br \/>\nsometimes I have to eat out and when I&#8217;m eating out,<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to be eating foods that are a lot more,<br \/>\nthat are higher in sodium than what I&#8217;m used to<br \/>\nwith the meals I cook for myself.<br \/>\nAs a result, the numbers on the scale go up slightly.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When I get back home<br \/>\nand I go back to eating my regular meals.<br \/>\nThose numbers go right back down.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s just water retention.<br \/>\nAnd a lot of the major fluctuations<br \/>\nthat you see in the numbers on the scale,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s just water retention.<br \/>\nAnd a word of warning about water retention,<br \/>\nthe more water you drink,<br \/>\nthe less water your body&#8217;s going to hold on to.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re not drinking enough water,<br \/>\nyou might find the numbers on the scale going up<br \/>\nbecause your body&#8217;s holding onto as much water as it can<br \/>\nbecause it&#8217;s not getting an adequate supply,<br \/>\ngive your body an adequate supply and it&#8217;s going to say,<br \/>\n&#8220;Hey, we have enough water coming in.<br \/>\n&#8220;We don&#8217;t need to hold onto that much.&#8221;<br \/>\nSo that&#8217;s really, really important<br \/>\nbecause, I think, when people talk about problems<br \/>\nwith seeing the numbers really jump on the scale,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s really a matter of water retention,<br \/>\nnot really anything to do with bad increases.<br \/>\nRemember, it takes 3,500 calories for one pound of fat.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a lot of calories and you can&#8217;t just magically add<br \/>\nthat excess to your body<br \/>\nover the course of a day or two days.<br \/>\nIf the numbers on the scale jump up,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s almost certainly water retention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Now, menstrual changes in woman<br \/>\ncan also bring about tremendous changes<br \/>\nin the numbers on the scale.<br \/>\nI once had a client who had a 12 pound difference<br \/>\nthat would happen every month like clockwork,<br \/>\nshe&#8217;d literally go up by 12 pounds,<br \/>\na tremendous amount, but for her, it was natural.<br \/>\nEveryone has their natural changes<br \/>\nbased on the hormonal changes<br \/>\nthat come with menstrual cycles.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s something very, very real.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not something that should get you down.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s just simply how your body works.<br \/>\nTemperature change can also make<br \/>\nthe numbers on the scale change.<br \/>\nIf it&#8217;s colder and the temperature goes up<br \/>\nand you&#8217;re sweating more,<br \/>\nbut your water intake stays the same.<br \/>\nRemember what I said, if you&#8217;re not getting enough water,<br \/>\nyour body&#8217;s going to hold onto more fluids.<br \/>\nSo the very often with the change in the seasons,<br \/>\nsometimes, when it starts getting warmer<br \/>\nand you don&#8217;t drink enough,<br \/>\npeople see the numbers on the scale going up<br \/>\nand they wonder, &#8220;Well, what happened?<br \/>\n&#8220;My diet&#8217;s the same.&#8221;<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re not drinking enough water.<br \/>\nAlways make sure you&#8217;re drinking enough water.<br \/>\nCause it&#8217;s going to make sure<br \/>\nthat you are going to have<br \/>\nsome nice steady numbers with regards to water retention.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re not going to hold that much water<br \/>\nand you have a nice,<br \/>\nmore or less stable baseline to work with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3199\"

I&#8217;m going to end with something<br \/>\nalso very important about the numbers on the scale.<br \/>\nVery often people have a particular number in mind.<br \/>\nThat number could be when they look their best,<br \/>\nthat number could be an arbitrary number,<br \/>\nbut if they aren&#8217;t at that number,<br \/>\nthey feel horrible about themselves.<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;m going to hopefully help<br \/>\nwith a little bit of perspective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you think about the worst thing you ever did,<br \/>\nthe absolute worst thing that you&#8217;ve ever done in your life,<br \/>\nwould you really want anybody else to define you<br \/>\nby that one horrible thing you did in your life?<br \/>\nI think the answer universally to that would be no.<br \/>\nAnd the same applies to the numbers on the scale.<br \/>\nThose numbers cannot and should not represent how you feel<br \/>\nabout yourself and should not be the gauge that you use<br \/>\nto judge your own self-worth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I know it&#8217;s hard, but it&#8217;s something<br \/>\nthat you have to work on and keep in mind<br \/>\nthat the numbers on a scale are akin<br \/>\nto one gauge in an airplane.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re a pilot flying an airplane,<br \/>\nand you&#8217;re looking at one particular gauge<br \/>\nthat one gauge gives them some information,<br \/>\nbut doesn&#8217;t give them the whole spectrum of information<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s needed to fly an aircraft safely.<br \/>\nYou need more than just altitude,<br \/>\nyou need to know what the orientation of the aircraft is,<br \/>\nYou need air speed.<br \/>\nThere are all these other factors<br \/>\nthat come into flying in the aircraft safely,<br \/>\nand they&#8217;re all of the factors<br \/>\nthat come into how the numbers on the scale fall<br \/>\ninto how you&#8217;re doing as far as your progress is concerned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A scale can&#8217;t tell you,<br \/>\n&#8220;Hey, remember, you&#8217;re lifting weight.<br \/>\n&#8220;So you need to put some muscle on.&#8221;<br \/>\nA scale can&#8217;t tell you,<br \/>\n&#8220;Hey, you didn&#8217;t drink enough water yesterday<br \/>\n&#8220;and you had some salty foods so maybe<br \/>\n&#8220;you&#8217;re holding more fluids.&#8221;<br \/>\nA scale can&#8217;t tell you,<br \/>\n&#8220;Hey, you&#8217;ve been eating really, really well.<br \/>\n&#8220;So any fluctuations could just be normal things<br \/>\n&#8220;that come with the weather,<br \/>\n&#8220;or just simply how your body is.&#8221;<br \/>\nA scale can&#8217;t do that.<br \/>\nYou have to do that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So make sure when those numbers talk to you,<br \/>\nyou talk back to those numbers.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the best way to use it.<br \/>\nAnd again, try not to use the scale every day<br \/>\nbecause there can be so many fluctuations<br \/>\nover a short period of time.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t really get too much accuracy<br \/>\nif you&#8217;re weighing in every day,<br \/>\nunless you&#8217;re getting ready for a bodybuilding competition<br \/>\nor something requires, like I said, a body weight check-in.<br \/>\nSo be kind to yourself.<br \/>\nBe kind to yourself, don&#8217;t define yourself by those numbers<br \/>\nand thanks so much for tuning in.<\/p>\n<p>See the full video here-<\/p>\n<p class=\"title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/K95z1FkRD3s\"><em><strong>The Healthy Way To Use A Scale (And
