Daily weight fluctuation are not indicators of success or failure

August 31st, 2014 by

Daily weight fluctuations are normal. They are not indicators or success of failure. Changes in sodium status, how much water you’re drinking (low water intake promotes water retention), hormonal changes associated with menstruation, glycogen status, bowel regularity, etc., all affect bodyweight.

My point is simply to not put too much stock into what the scale says TODAY. It probably said something different yesterday and will say something different again tomorrow. Worry about what you’re DOING – compliant nutrition, intense training and consistency. From there over time your bodyweight, body fat and physique will take care of itself.
