Episode Details

In this episode, I explain why the scale doesn't always tell you everything that's happening with your body composition. Four different scenarios show how you can maintain, gain, or slowly lose weight while still making meaningful progress.

I also discuss why muscle gain takes longer than fat loss and how that affects what you see on the scale. You'll also learn which other metrics give you a clearer picture of what's actually going on.

This episode will help you better understand what your scale weight is actually telling you and why you shouldn't rely on it alone to judge your progress.

Let’s talk about:
