Weight scale, your best helper for burning fat and losing weight

We are always stimulated by the dazzling numbers when we jump off the scale, so we are increasingly afraid to face the scale. It is precisely because of the emotions of joy and sorrow in front of the scale that some experts advise people who want to lose weight not to weigh themselves often, so as not to have too much emotional fluctuations affecting the weight loss effect. However, a weight-loss campaign targeting 16000 slimming people shows that the scale is one of the most effective tools to prevent continued weight gain during the slimming process! 75% of the people in this activity lost an average of 15 kilograms and maintained their standard weight. Moreover, they all had one biggest thing in common: "They would be weighed at least every week."

You see, the help of a scale to lose weight is so obvious. Next, let's take a look at how the scale helps you lose weight!

1. Simple scales are the most reliable

Hearing the sisters around you shouting the slogan "Either be thin or die", can you not sit still anymore? Well, since the scale is so useful, if you don't hesitate to spend your money in order to lose weight, you should also buy the one with the most complete and expensive functions. It will definitely be more effective!-- Wrong! In fact, those advanced scales that often cost hundreds of yuan and can show your calorie consumption, fat index, and calculate calories will throw out more numbers that you need to worry about. And too many measuring indices means more details, allowing some insignificant factors to influence your judgment. It is recommended to buy an electronic weight scale that knows the basic digital display. It will not give you many inexplicable indices that bother you, and the error is also very small, only about 0.25 kg. Spring scales will deviate due to increased use time or due to placement in bathrooms with high humidity.

2. The more you are called, the thinner you are!

Don't doubt it's true. Studies have shown that people who weigh themselves on the scale every day can lose twice as much weight as those who weigh themselves once a week. Those who don't go on the scale if they can't go on the scale and are afraid of seeing their own weight are often at least 2 kilograms heavier than the standard weight. Weighing yourself every day will remind you from time to time, and it will also be easy to make timely adjustments to your weight loss plan based on changes in weight. In addition, psychologists have another gratifying discovery that having your weight information completely in your hands can actually increase women's emotions and enhance self-confidence. But what needs to be reminded is that there is no practical significance in weighing multiple times a day. Your weight will change within a day with many external environments, such as clothing, drinking water, exercise and other factors, which will make your weight. The number has changed. Therefore, just weigh it once a day.

3. When to weigh yourself?

Weigh it once a day. When is the best time to weigh it? During the day, your weight will change greatly depending on the environment, sometimes even reaching 2 kilograms! For example, if you drink water, if you drink a liter of soda and stand on the scale, your weight will immediately increase by about 0.8 kilograms. These sodas will be basically consumed with metabolism throughout the day. So, don't get fidgeted when you see a little bit of weight gain, think about what you did before weighing that could affect the measurement! It is recommended to get up every morning and weigh on an empty stomach after going to the bathroom. At this time, the water and food of the day are basically metabolized, making it the lightest moment of the day. Of course, never compare your weight after getting up in the morning with your weight after dinner. It is best to weigh it at the same time every day and then compare it for more accuracy.

4. You have obviously lost weight, why hasn't your weight changed?

If you see yourself significantly slimmer in the mirror, with a smaller waist or wearing a smaller size of pants, but no significant weight loss, don't worry. This just means that you have finally achieved results by persisting in exercising, and that the fat in your body is gradually being replaced by muscles. The same weight of fat is about three times the size of muscle, so you can imagine how different the visual effects will be between a person with a 100-pound body and another person with a 100-pound body but a tight body. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a concept that "reduction in numbers" does not actually mean "successful slimming". The role of the scale is more to "monitor and compare" one's previous situation. If you are slimmer than before because of fitness but haven't lost weight, don't think the scale is broken!

5. The scale should be placed here

Put the scale in the bedroom with soft carpeted? -- Wrong! The bathroom or bathroom is the best way to visit the scale. This is not to make it easier for us to weigh after going to the toilet, but because only on hard and flat ground can the number of the scale be free of errors. Soft carpets or uneven floors can make the measurement results inaccurate. Especially soft mats or blankets will absorb part of your "weight", creating the illusion that you are "lighter" and making you happy for nothing. If you suspect that there is a problem with your scale, you can first find something with a known weight and weigh it, such as 5 kilograms of rice. Of course, if there is a minor problem with the scale, it doesn't matter, as long as you keep measuring on the same scale all the time. Although the actual results will be biased, at least the trend of weight change is correct! (Editor in charge: Deng Qi)
