When to Weigh Yourself

Author: Chantal - Categories: How to Lose Weight

Why Does My Weight Fluctuate?

It is suggested that when trying to lose weight, you should only weigh yourself once per week. If you weigh yourself on a daily basis it may become discouraging because a person’s weight can fluctuate up to 10 pounds throughout the day. You’ve probably noticed that when you weigh yourself in the morning you weigh a lot less than before bed. The reason for this is because of all the food and water you have consumed throughout the day.

Water Weight

The average person is suppose to consume 8 glasses of water per day. This amount of water weighs 4.4 pounds! So if you get on the scale at the end of the day and noticed that you’ve gained weight since the morning don’t be worried. The weight gained could be either water weight or undigested food.

Weight from Undigested Food

Some people go days without having a proper bowel movement. This causes those people to hold all the waste in their bodies for extended periods of time. Not only is this unhealthy but it will also cause you to weigh more and feel bloated. A solution to this is using Colon Cleanse.

The Best Time to Weigh Your Self

The best time to step on the scale is in the morning after you have gone to the toilet and before you eat or drink anything. This will give you a more constant weight which you can use to compare weight gain or loss with in the future.

Weight Loss Tips

1. Diet: If you decrease your calorie intake to a point that is lower than your calorie expenditure, you will force your body to burn fat for energy. The word diet does not mean eating salad and starving yourself, it simply means paying attention to what you are eating and the reason for eating it.

2. Exercise: When you exercise you burn calories. When your body runs out of calories to burn it start to break down fat cells for energy. The best time to exercise is first thing in the morning because your body has fasted for 8 hours and has very few calories to burn for energy. This means the body will start burning fat cells for energy faster.

3. Eat 6 Meals a Day: Eat more often, but smaller portions. By eating the same amount of food but spreading it out over 6 meals you can lose weight. The reason for this is because eating constantly requires your body to constantly start and stop digesting food. It also lets your body know that it does not need to store massive amounts of food as fat because you will feed it for energy again soon. If you eat food and your body does not need all of it’s energy it will store the extra calories as fat.

4. Drink Water: Humans are made up of over 90% water. Water helps in everything you can imagine. Drinking more water will help you flush your system faster and easier. It will also give you more energy and make you feel fuller, therefore; you’ll eat less. You’ll also burn a few extra calories walking to the washroom!

5. Take Vitamin Supplements: Your body needs proper nutrition to burn fat efficiently. Often when you diet you will lack the proper nutrients. You wouldn’t fuel your car with water when it needs gas to run, would you?
