Among the questions you ask yourself about your weight, this is certainly the one that intrigues you the most: why the needle of the scale is not stable from day to day. Why does the weight fluctuate even within the same day?

First of all, note that diet is not the only parameter that influences your weight, far from it! Your weight varies according to a multitude of criteria:

• Your hydration level
• The quality of the food you eat
• The state of your transit
• Your level of physical activity
• The amount of salt ingested the day before
• Your hormonal variations
• Your stress level
• Hormonal variations
• For women: the period of your cycle
• Possible water retention

Note, however, that by adopting a healthy and balanced diet with a program developed by a dietitian, you reverse the components of your body by replacing fat mass with lean mass.

Now, you know, muscle weighs more than fat, but … it takes up less space!

Conclusion: when the needle of the scales stagnates from one week to the next, it’s a safe bet that you have refined your silhouette!

Here is the advice of our dietician:

• Weigh yourself once a week only.
• Take your measurements on a regular basis: hip, thigh and waist circumference in particular.

If the weight or measurements drop, it’s a good sign: your efforts are paying off and you are progressing towards your slimming goal!
