Better Way To Track Weight Loss
The most common way to track weight loss progress is by stepping on the bathroom scale. Unfortunately, the scale doesn’t tell you how much fat you’ve lost. Since muscle weighs more than body fat, you could end up getting the wrong impression about your body transformation efforts.
A story published online by HeathDay News suggests two simple alternatives that can give you a better idea of how much you’ve accomplished. Wrapping a tape measure around your chest, waist, hips, thighs, calves, biceps and forearms can be an effective way to track whole body transformation. You only need to do it once a week or once a month. Even easier is noticing how your clothes are fitting.
