During the weight loss period, women often weigh themselves, and if they notice a drop in the weight number, they feel that they have successfully lost weight. In fact, our body weight can fluctuate at different times during the day or month, and many factors influence these fluctuations, such as diet, water intake, and menstrual cycles.
For example, when women are on their menstrual cycle, their weight may be higher than usual, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and not necessarily because they have overeaten. Therefore, women who are trying to lose weight must understand when to weigh themselves to determine their “true weight.” You might get it wrong!
During the weight loss period, what time in the morning is the “true weight”? Many women make mistakes!
For those losing weight, it is essential to know how to weigh themselves scientifically. To find your true weight, it is recommended to weigh yourself after getting up in the morning, using the bathroom for bowel and urinary movements, around 7 a.m. This weight is essentially your true weight, and those trying to lose weight can record this measurement as a reference for comparing weight loss.
Is it good to weigh yourself every day during weight loss?
In fact, for those losing weight, it is not advisable to weigh yourself daily because our weight changes every day, and even every moment. For instance, right after weighing 100 pounds, if you drink a glass of water, your weight might increase to 101 pounds because of the water intake; the increase is inevitable. Therefore, during the weight loss period, it is not recommended to weigh yourself daily because it can affect your mood and hinder your weight loss progress.
How many days should you weigh yourself during weight loss to be more beneficial?
If daily weighing is not advisable, then how often should you weigh yourself during weight loss? Under normal circumstances, weighing yourself 2-3 times a week is ideal. It’s best to arrange this reasonably and record your weight for comparison, observing how your weight changes over a month to better plan your weight loss journey. Additionally, women tend to gain about 2-3 pounds in the week before their period, which is normal and not a cause for concern.
