Scale obsession is not helpful for weight loss. The rise in cortisol from scale anxiety alone is enough to stifle your progress!


Here are 11 reasons why you shouldn’t weigh yourself:


1. Water weight

Some people can lose up to 11 pounds of water weight in just 2 days! Initial water weight loss can cause unrealistic expectations. Most people only lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.


2. Salt

Salty foods can cause you to retain fluid, especially if you’re consuming them with sugar.


3. Hormones

A woman’s menstrual cycle can often cause weight-loss fluctuations of around 3 to 7 pounds. A rise in cortisol can also prevent weight loss.


4. Location of fat

The worst type of fat is visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs. If you don’t see weight loss right away, you could be losing some of the more dangerous types of fat first.


5. Muscle loss or gain

Losing muscle isn’t healthy! Your weight may be decreasing, but it could also be accompanied by serious side effects. Similarly, muscle weighs more than fat, so you won’t see weight loss if you’re building muscle.


6. Myxedema

This type of fat is often found in people with hypothyroidism and is difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone.


7. Poor sleep

One week of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance! Poor sleep leads to snacking, increased visceral fat, lower testosterone levels, and higher cortisol and stress levels.


8. Ozempic

People lose weight with Ozempic, but typically regain it when they discontinue use. Around 20% to 40% of this weight loss is attributed to muscle loss.


9. Microdamage from exercise

Overtraining breaks down your muscles. Edema and swelling can cause your weight to increase after exercise.


10. Medication

Medications such as calcium channel blockers can cause weight gain.


11. Constipation

Fiber intake and constipation can affect the number on the scale.



Stop weighing yourself and focus on these healthy weight-loss tips instead:

1. Waist-to-height ratio

2. Fasting insulin

3. Appetite decreases

4. Tiny amounts of carbs can block fat burning

5. Fix insulin resistance

Insulin resistance is the root cause of many chronic diseases. Fixing it is the key to getting healthy and losing weight.

Sugar Is Rewiring Your Brain (Here’s How to Escape)

Sugar Is Rewiring Your Brain (Here’s How to Escape)

I gave up sugar a while ago and wish I had done it even sooner. Before, I dealt with low energy, brain fog, and restless nights. Now I sleep deeply, feel energized, and enjoy clear mental clarity after quitting sugar. Sugar also depletes vitamin B1, critical for optimal brain health, nerve function, and autonomous nervous system regulation. No wonder a high-sugar diet causes fatigue, anxiety, poor focus, and long-term damage to brain health.Just three weeks without sugar gives your brain a reset, helping reduce cravings and breaking the cycle of sugar addiction. Quitting sugar doesn’t just benefit the brain! It also supports your organs, brightens skin, protects vision, strengthens the heart, promotes metabolic balance, and makes it easier to maintain a healthy weight.
