Why the Scale Lies: Understanding Fat Loss Beyond Numbers

Episode Overview

  • Muscle gain can offset weight loss on the scale.

He shares personal anecdotes, including his own weight tracking journey and the quirks of his morning routine that affect his scale readings. Max also emphasises the importance of gathering evidence beyond the scale. He encourages listeners to pay attention to changes in clothing fit, body measurements, energy levels, and even skin appearance. These are the real indicators of progress, not just the number on the scale.
A particularly inspiring story involves one of Max's clients who lost 11 inches before seeing any change on the scale. Her persistence paid off as she eventually lost 50 pounds over a year. Max's candid and often humorous approach makes complex topics relatable and easy to understand. He doesn't shy away from discussing the mental and emotional aspects of weight loss, reminding you that your worth isn't determined by a number.
