The regular monitoring of weight during a diet is such an important measure as the adoption of a new diet. For this, it is recommended that the person buy a scale and make a very strict control of their weight variation.
- Use the same scale
- Frequency of weighing
- Take note to control the evolution
- No obsession with weight loss
Use the same scale
Buying a scale not only helps in controlling weight variations but also ensures that the person always weighs the same balance. This is the only way to control whether the diet is progressing or if some errors (to be corrected) are preventing consistent weight loss. In addition, the presence of a scale at home ensures that the measurement can be done at different times of the day, helping control and in case of weight loss, bringing more motivation to continue in the diet.
Frequency of weighing
Weighing often allows you to make quick adjustments when you notice a gain in weight. For this, the person must also decide what will be the frequency, which can be daily or weekly. If the option is weekly, choose a fixed day and time for the measurement. Know beforehand that we tend to weigh more in the second, when possible weekend overmeasures surface, and less on Fridays, when we have been following the diet more strictly for five days. For those who want to weigh themselves daily, the main advice is to choose a fixed time or associated with a moment of the day, such as after waking or after urinating.
Take note to control the evolution
It is important to take note of weighing results so that control is done properly. Without that, we can lose or gain a few grams overnight without noticing whether the diet is progressing or walking backwards. When you gain weight, try to find the reason for that change in the decreasing curve and make the necessary adjustments.
No obsession with weight loss
The person cannot be obsessive about their weight. The anxiety is a major obstacle in reducing the weight and weigh yourself several times a day can create bad situations, such as weight gain after a meal. Avoid weighing more than twice a day, and if you have chosen weekly weighing, do not anticipate the day of measurement.
