You’ve been eating consistently, getting your protein and fiber, moving your body, strength training, and then you step on the scale and somehow you’re UP 2 or 3 pounds.
What gives?
In this episode of the Nourished Mamas Podcast, I’m breaking down why the number on the scale can change even when you’re doing everything “right", and why a sudden increase doesn’t automatically mean you’ve gained body fat.
We’ll talk about:
Normal day-to-day weight fluctuations
Sodium, carbohydrates and water retention
How your menstrual cycle can affect the scale
Why a hard workout may temporarily increase your weight
Digestion, travel, sleep and routine changes
What it can mean when your weight is truly plateaued over time
Other ways to measure progress when the scale isn't moving
I’m also sharing what I learned during my own months-long plateau, including one part of my evening routine I eventually realized was probably keeping me from being in a calorie deficit.
Because the scale gives you data, not a grade.
If you’re feeling stuck and aren't sure what to focus on next, take my Personalized Weight Loss Roadmap Quiz to get a starting point based on your current season.
