Most people struggle with diet. It is way to easy to cheat because this challenge is 24/7. However whatever your goals are physically, diet is the key. But one of the most dangerous things you can do is use a scale.
Unless exact weight loss is your goal, a scale can do as much harm as good. When you check your weight on a regular basis there are many things to take into consideration. Are you always weighing yourself at the same time ? Are you always wearing the same amount of clothes ? These things affect your numbers. But this isn’t a true gauge of your fitness or image goals.
Have you ever seen someone who loses weight and doesn’t look good at all ( not because of illness). Not all weight loss is good and visibly appealing. Usually quick weight loss is water, which returns very quickly. But in order to look and feel good you must eat properly , no matter what you do. A tweak in protein, carbs and especially quantity make a big difference.
Which is why I say, Don’t let a scale control your diet and weight. Judge how you feel and secondary how you look ( which are very much related ). At this stage as an adult we already know our bodies and what realistically needs to be done. There is no instant shortcut , bit the steady process actually helps in the ling run. This way we are forced to create good habits and be consistent. It makes your end result that much more satisfying because you put in the work required. And once you start seeing the change in you, there follows others noticing changes. And that will inspire you to continue to improve and upgrade yourself to be a better man.
