Just as food shouldn’t be torture for us, weighing ourselves on the scale in the morning shouldn’t be a problem either, coming to condition us too much. Because? Because in a certain sense the balance “lies” on our weight, since, by representing it only with a number, it cannot provide us with adequate explanations on what the number reveals, but simply ascertain that on day X at time Y our weight is that. Unfortunately, not everyone knows that it is not the weight, or the body mass index, that says something about our physical fitness. I’ll explain why in 5 points.

BODY WEIGHT: 5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT LOOK AT THE SCALE
Personally, I don’t have the scale at home anymore. After spending a fortune on various torture tools for weight control, I discovered (and learned) these five things about my body weight, and what I now know has allowed me to break free of some kind of bondage. The number on the scale affected my day, and day after day it also affected my life. Now I’ll explain why you shouldn’t trust a number too much (or at all), but check your body weight based on other parameters.

1) The weight of a healthy person fluctuates: This happens more frequently if you are a woman, but men may also notice a weight fluctuation of about a pound and a half or two per week according to nutritionist Chris Sandel. The more people have an ideal weight and a normal relationship with food (and are healthy) the more their weight fluctuates. The more she tries to make sure that number never changes, the more she gets stressed and the more unwittingly she tries to act on the food she swallows to “keep it at bay”. But our weight is not a monster to tame, and there is nowhere written that it must always be the same from the day before to the next, but that on average it is that. In an average that can for example be weekly or monthly.In fact, every day we collect about 3-4 kilos of food and liquids over the course of the day. The more the foods we choose are loaded with water (for example fruit and vegetables), the more our weight will vary according to their consumption. To this we must add how much we retain from the liquids drunk, the activities we did that day, if we are in particular periods of stress or hormonal changes, if we have an altered metabolism, etc.
