Many diet lovers make a gross mistake: when assessing the intermediate results of weight loss, they focus on only one indicator - weight.
You shouldn't do that. After all, weight loss doesn't always mean that a person is losing weight correctly.
It may be that only muscle is lost and fat is retained.
So, you should put the scales aside. But you will need a measuring tape.
So, what should a person losing weight focus on when evaluating the results of diet and exercise?
Waist circumference
This indicator should decrease during weight loss.
If you want to know if you have lost weight during your weight loss journey, check your waist size with a tape measure.
Measure the indicator periodically and analyze its changes.
Have clothes become loose?
Another clear sign that a person has lost weight is that their clothes have become looser.
If a month ago you couldn’t fit into jeans, but now you can easily put on this item of clothing, then know that you have really lost weight, no matter what the scale shows.
Condition during physical activity
Analyze how you feel while walking, climbing stairs, or exercising in the gym.
If before starting the diet you experienced shortness of breath and a very rapid heartbeat with the slightest physical exertion, and now you don’t have this problem, then you have really gotten rid of the “extra reserves”.
Earlierit became known whether it is possible to lose weight once and for all.
