Episode notes
Consistency Is A Major Advantage
- Long-term consistency already places you ahead of most people starting a health journey.
- Many quit within weeks or months, so sustained effort is itself a major achievement.
Measure Fat Loss Beyond The Scale
- Use more than the scale to track fat loss; check how clothes fit and look for looser waist, hips, chest, or arms.
- These simple daily checks often reveal fat loss even when scale weight stays the same.
Use Consistent, Accurate Body-Fat Tests
- Use reliable, repeatable body-fat measurements and follow pre-test instructions to reduce error.
- Be cautious with handheld BIA and skinfolds since technique and timing can change readings by several percent.
