HOW TO WEIGHT YOURSELF PROPERLY

Even if you have the most accurate scale in the world, there are some things you need to consider in order to weigh yourself properly. Your weight may vary based on what you eat or drink. If you just step on your scale randomly during the day, you will get very unreliable results.

So what do you do to keep track of your weight reliably? Of course, it starts with a reliable wave. Secondly, it is important to choose a special time. A good choice is to weigh yourself every week on the same day and at the same time, but not on the weekend. There are several reasons for this.

- By weighing yourself every week, you can compare your progress from week to week

- Weekends can differ greatly in calorie intake, while weekdays are often more consistent

- If you weigh yourself every day, the change is not big enough for you to draw conclusions

To make sure you get accurate results every week, you need to make sure the conditions are the same every time you weigh yourself. Therefore:

- Weigh yourself in the morning before eating

- Go to the toilet before weighing yourself

- Do not wear clothes when weighing yourself

- Make sure that the scale is on a flat, stable surface

Finally, make sure you write down each week's results so that you get a clear picture of your progress. This allows you to evaluate whether your approach has the desired effect.

Measuring you gives more answers than just weight

If you exercise, your weight can be very misleading. You may have an exact scale that you use properly, but that does not mean you get a good picture of your weight loss.

Consider the following scenario:

You started our Kickstarta Online in 3 months. You start exercising, maybe for the first time in your life. You eat in an eating window for 8 hours, yet you do not see a big weight loss after 4 weeks. What has really happened? If you have trained strength training and managed your walks with the steps we put into the program and at the same time eaten good food, your body fat percentage has guaranteed to decrease. However, your muscles grow and compensate for the weight loss in fat.

In the above scenario, it may seem like you have not improved, but you are really making great progress in two different ways. If you just look at the scale, you will never see it.

Therefore: Measure yourself once a week. Our proposal is to measure the waist, upper arm, hips and thighs. Write it down and also compare it every week.
