The scale is 💩!!!! Jk, but here are some reasons why the scale should not be the only indicator to use for your results ⬇️ • Glycogen stores — 1g of carbs holds ~3g of water 💧 • Sodium intake — More salt = more water retention 🧂 • Food volume — You literally weigh more after eating 🍽️ • Bowel movements — Haven’t pooped? That adds up 💩 • Hormones & stress — Cortisol can spike water weight 📈 • Muscle gain — Muscle weighs more than fat 💪 All of these factors can cause you to change weight throughout the day. 📉 Progress isn’t just pounds.
