Libra: Should we always trust them for measurement and health?

The scale is one of the most important household items for many people and a frequent habit of those who control their weight, regardless of whether they are on a diet or not.

But the scale doesn't always tell the truth , and that's why you shouldn't weigh yourself every day. Your weight can be temporarily affected by many factors, such as hormones, food, and fluids. As a result, on days when all of these are not at their best, weight increases rapidly.

The worst days to measure your weight

Just before and during the first few days of your cycle: Urinary retention is at its peak and weight may increase by half to two pounds.

After dinner out: If you try to weigh yourself the next morning, the shock will be huge. The salt content of these foods will definitely have an impact on your fluids and weight.

After French fries or salty foods: As funny as it may seem, the salt you took in from them overnight will show up significantly on your scale the next day.

After a regular meal late at night: Your body will have a much harder time metabolizing food, resulting in an impact on your weight in the morning.

When you take medications such as anti-inflammatories or antibiotics : They can cause fluid retention.

Weigh yourself from time to time.

Therefore, body weight is related to many factors, which can lead to small, but potentially influential, fluctuations in the scale, which are likely to be observed within the same day or from one day to the next.

Therefore, it seems that weighing too frequently (for example, every day or even more than once a day) does not give reliable results. The most appropriate frequency is once a week.

Research data shows that weekly weighing is associated with higher rates of successful weight loss and maintenance, while greater frequency probably does not provide any additional benefit./CNA
