Those fluctuations are not representative of body fat lost or gained. (And we won’t even mention clothes, because we’re pretty sure most of you are obsessive enough to weigh yourself naked.) You can lose two pounds just by going to the bathroom – and gain it right back by eating a big meal. Food and beverage intake, time of day, dietary choices and activity levels all factor into that number on the dial. But over the course of a day (or a few hours!) your weight can fluctuate by as many as five pounds – sometimes more. It’s good to measure things to track progress – and if you weighed yourself monthly, that might help you spot a trend in your body weight (gaining, losing or maintaining). So today, we’ll present five reasons to kick your scale to the curb – not just during your Whole30, but for good. But despite all our efforts, many people still find it impossible to take their eyes off the scale. We have strict rules about weighing yourself during your program (you can’t) and focusing on weight loss as a measure of Whole30 success (you shouldn’t). We work hard to present our Whole30 program as a tool for creating optimal health, and not a weight-loss quick fix.
