How does weighing yourself daily contribute to weight management, and when should you get on the scale?


Data indicate that daily weigh-ins are associated with better weight maintenance and enhanced weight loss, while infrequent weighing leads to weight gain. Get into the habit of weighing yourself, preferably at the same time of day and under the same conditions-for instance, in the morning just as you get out of bed. Depending on your body size, activity patterns, rehydration level, and dietary intake on any given day, your weight will fluctuate by a pound or more from one day to the next. Monitoring your weight in this way allows you to make immediate adjustments in food intake and physical activity if your weight increases and stays there for several days.?
