EP70: Here's Why Your Weight Went Up (It's NOT Fat Gain)

The scale has many enemies. It is an instrument of torture. It also allows you to see your weight in black and white, concrete facts. However, your weight is a lot more than just the number on the scale alone.

In this episode, Christina and Nikki discuss why the scale going up does not necessarily mean you gained fat and help you understand the mechanism behind the dramatic scale fluctuations.

In this episode, they talk about:

• The scale does not provide a comprehensive picture of where you stand in your health journey
• Reasons why the number on the scale is fluctuating
• Difference between weight loss and fat loss
• Common mistakes people make when trying to measure their weight
• Alternative methods to measure your progress

Memorable Quotes:

"The number on the scale does not reflect or determine your progress in fitness or your progress in weight loss because the scale only just measures a number. It doesn't actually measure your body fat percentage. It doesn't actually measure how much muscle mass you have."

"It's been ingrained in us that the scale going up is bad and the scale going down is good, but there are so many variables that affect whether that happens or not, besides the fact of you gaining weight or losing weight, or determining whether you've been working hard."
