Don't Trust The Scale!






Ask Glen!




Q. Glen, I am doing every thing right eating, exercising , resting, weighing myself daily the scale keeps going up and down ! am I doing anything wrong?



A. Yes, Weighing yourself on a scale every day can do more harm than good. Calorie counting and constantly checking the scale usually leads to disappointment, which, in turn, leads to broken resolutions. The body fluctuates in weight as many as 3 to 5 pounds during the day. So while you're actually losing weight, you may think nothing has changed. Also, muscle is denser than fat, so while you may not see the numbers drop or in some cases see the numbers escalate, it may just be that you're gaining muscle. The best way to use the scale is moderately. Try weighing yourself only once a week.




Glen's Bottom Line: Judge how your clothes fit!
