EP102: What I Learned from Losing 80 LBs in 14 Months (Part 4 of 4)

What is the #1 tool you use to measure your progress in fitness?

If you're like most people, you default to using a scale to weigh yourself, and you stop there.

This is useful, obviously. We need to know our weight to tell if we are increasing or decreasing in overall body weight.

HOWEVER, you can't stop there.

Most people are experiencing lean body mass changes WHILE ALSO experiencing body fat changes. The results of combining these two things affects weight in different ways for different people.

For example, as you are dieting down to lose body fat you may experience a stall in weight loss because you may be increasing lean body mass as a result of progressively overloading your muscles into hypertrophy at the gym for the first time in a long time. You also may have a prime nutritional plan that is feeding these newly hypertrophied muscles into growth, which will directly affect body weight.

The solution to all of this?

Use more measurement methods.

Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.

Pass this along to that one friend in your life that NEEDS to hear the words.
